“The cast member was so rude and condescending and denied me the DAS,” the Guest recalled. “So, I went in February, ended up passing out in line to Soarin' and was just generally miserable while standing and waiting in lines because I was afraid I'd pass out again.”

The DAS pass will only show up on your My Disney Experience app for the day you have a park ticket and reservation and when you are actually in the park. If you go to the hamburger menu and scroll all the way down, you will see your DAS access pass.

On the day of your visit, have fun exploring other aspects of the park until you can redeem your return time. You may only have one active DAS return time at one time. After a return time has been redeemed, your party can request another one.

MORE DETAILS

You can have up to 6 people added to your account. That includes the person needing the DAS plus 5 more. If you have more than that in your party, speak with Guest Relations. They may be able to accommodate you.

MORE DETAILS

To maximize the benefits of DAS, you should plan ahead using available information to develop a tentative plan for your visit. Current and forecasted future wait times can be found in the Disney Genie service app tool, in addition to ride locations and attraction access options.

The great news is that yes, you will be able to use the Disability Access Service (DAS) pass at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. On our last trip, we needed a DAS pass because one of our daughters had suffered a very serious concussion, and it saved the day.
