Disney updates disability access policy
26-04-24
Disney has announced significant changes to its disability access policies following a study that revealed an increase in the use of the Disability Access Service (DAS) under questionable circumstances.
The DAS program, designed to ensure that people with disabilities enjoy theme parks safely and comfortably, has seen a tripling of its use over the past five years, often for reasons bordering on abuse of the system.
Advantages of the program include the ability to avoid long lines at attractions and register up to two companions with special needs. However, due to observed misuse, Disney has decided to implement a series of restrictive measures to preserve the integrity of the program.
