What is a DAS pass at Disneyland?

DAS is intended for Guests who have difficulty tolerating extended waits in a conventional queue environment due to a disability. DAS doesn't provide immediate access to experiences, but rather allows Guests to request a return time for a specific experience that is comparable to the current standby wait.



The Disability Access Service (DAS) at Disneyland is a program designed to assist guests who, due to a developmental disability like autism or a similar condition, have difficulty waiting in a conventional standby line for extended periods. In 2026, the program does not provide "front of the line" access; instead, it allows the guest to request a return time for an attraction based on the current standby wait. For example, if Space Mountain has a 60-minute wait, a DAS user receives a return time for 60 minutes later and can wait in a more comfortable area. Eligibility is determined through a live video interview with a Disney Cast Member, which can be done between 2 and 30 days before the park visit. Once registered, the DAS pass is valid for the duration of the ticket (up to 120 days) and can accommodate the registered guest plus up to three additional party members. This high-fidelity service ensures that the Disney magic remains inclusive and accessible, allowing families with unique needs to enjoy the parks at a pace that works for them.
