What is the Disability Access Service at Disney World?
DAS is a service that Disney offers to eligible guests who cannot wait in a conventional queue. Disney sets the rules and process, so read them on its site.
Disney sets the eligibility rules and the way you register, and it has changed them over time. As of November 2026, Disney's DAS page describes it this way. Confirm each point with Disney before you travel.
- DAS is for guests who cannot wait in a conventional queue for long periods because of a developmental disability, such as autism or similar.
- You register on Disney's website, by live video chat with a Disney cast member, as early as 60 days before your park visit or on the day of your visit. The guest who will use DAS takes part, and the person registering must be an adult.
- An approval lasts up to a year or the length of your ticket, whichever is shorter. It covers the registered guest and up to 3 other people in the party, for 4 in total.
- You request a return time in the My Disney Experience app or at Guest Relations after you enter a park, and you can hold one return time at a time. Return times are generally close to the standby wait.
What to do
- Read Disney's current page above.
- Follow the registration steps before you travel if required.
- Bring what Disney asks for.
