How Disney’s DAS Pass Policy Change Affects Utah Visitors

Beware of trying to trick the DAS Pass at Disneyland.

This one hits close to home because our family has enjoyed Disneyland, and we happen to have enjoyed the accommodating Disability Access Service (DAS) system for our two kids on the spectrum.

This has allowed them to not have to wait in the longer lines and helped them avoid some of the audibly and visibly congested areas of the park. I Know it has benefited them, but as we have met with other park visitors I know there are some in much more need then our kids. I don’t know if we were doing it the best way, and it has been a few years since we have been, but the system is going to change.

Here are the highlights.

The big one is that you should not cheat the system. If Disneyland figures out that you used the DAS without a need the punishments are steep. I don’t know what measures they will take to determine if there has been fraudulence, but those found to be using the service without having a need will be permanently banned from the park. They will also suspend annual passes. So beware, they are getting serious.

The other noteworthy change is probably an improvement. The process of getting a DAS pass will be online. Like I said we might have been doing it the old way, but we used to have to wait in a physical line, it didn't really make sense to be in a line to help recipients who struggled to stand in a line. I felt bad for many of the recipients who struggled having to wait, clearly getting more agitated, so I think this update will be a welcome change.
