Cast Members will not ask for proof of a disability, but will inquire about the type of accommodations you are requesting because of your disability or condition. The person with the disability must be present to obtain the pass and will have their picture taken.

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.

When registering for DAS, you will be able to indicate which other Guests you will be visiting the Theme Parks with. The DAS Guest can then include up to five of these other Guests on each return time selection.
