How do you get approved for Disney Das?

Registration Process There are 2 ways for eligible Guests to register for the DAS program—pre-arrival via live video chat or in person at Guest Relations during a park visit. Cast Members will work with Guests individually to discuss specific requests and offer assistance.



To get approved for Disney’s Disability Access Service (DAS) in 2026, you must participate in a live video interview with a Cast Member. This is the only way to register; there is no longer an in-person registration option at the park gates. You can do this between 2 and 30 days before your trip. A supportive peer "process" update: Disney tightened the criteria in 2024/2025 to focus strictly on guests who, due to a developmental disability (like Autism), cannot wait in a conventional standby line. During the video call, the guest requesting DAS (or their guardian) must be present. You don't need a doctor's note (and they aren't allowed to ask for one), but you must be able to describe the specific challenges the guest faces while waiting. Once approved, DAS is linked to your ticket for up to 120 days. In 2026, the party size for DAS is limited to 4 people total (the guest plus 3 others), a change made to prevent "party splitting" and ensure the system remains sustainable for those who truly need it.
