What qualifies for a disability pass in Disney?

Guests with any physical or mental condition that affects their ability to wait in a standard attraction line for an extended period may qualify for a DAS Pass.



In 2026, the Disability Access Service (DAS) at Disney Parks is strictly intended for guests who, due to a developmental disability (such as autism) or a similar condition, are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period. Disney has moved away from providing the pass for mobility issues (like needing a wheelchair), as most queues are now fully accessible. To qualify, the guest must participate in a live video chat with a Cast Member (as early as 60 days before the visit) or visit an Accessibility Services Kiosk in person. There is no requirement to show a doctor's note; instead, the cast member discusses the guest's specific needs. If approved, the pass allows your party (up to 4 people total) to request a "return time" for an attraction based on the current wait, giving you a high-value way to enjoy the park without the sensory or physical stress of a standard line. Registration is valid for up to one year or the length of your ticket, whichever is shorter.
