Overview of Disney World's Disability Access Service (DAS)

by Mommy Frog on March 9, 2023 429 Orlando

Inside This Post Inside This Post

Walt Disney World’s approach to assisting guests with disabilities ensures that every guest can enjoy a day at the parks. For families with one or more members needing accommodations, Disney World’s Disability Access Service (DAS) can help make a trip comfortable and memorable for everyone. This comprehensive program is about more than just getting ahead in line; it is designed to ensure that every guest and family has a toadally amazing Disney experience.

Recently, updates were made to the Disability Access Service at Disney World to be even more user-friendly! In October 2021, two new features were added to the DAS program. Guests now have the opportunity to pre-register via live video call and use DAS Advance pre-arrival planning, as well as selecting DAS return times through the My Disney Experience app. These improvements make it easier to get return times right from your phone, and reduce walking back and forth.

Here’s what you can expect from the DAS when you visit Disney World!

What is DAS?

Disney World's Disability Access Service (DAS) provides assistance for guests and families with disabilities to navigate more easily and enjoy the parks. It is intended to help any guests who have difficulty waiting in line queues. Instead of physically waiting in a queue, you receive a return time equal to the current standby wait time. You can spend the time anywhere in the park and then return to enjoy the ride. You enter through the Lightning Lane entrance for barely any time in a physical queue.

You may hear some people refer to it as a disability pass or DAS card. The “pass” or “card” portion of the name is leftover lingo from a time when guests were provided with a paper or plastic card to use in the program. Today, the DAS is fully digital and integrated into your ticket or MagicBand, so no additional card or media is needed. And a new feature includes being able to receive DAS return times through the My Disney Experience app!

Who Qualifies for Assistance from DAS?

Any adult or child with a disability that could endanger them, prevent them from fully enjoying the parks or waiting in a traditional line qualifies for DAS. This includes guests with both visible injuries or disabilities and those with less visible, non-apparent disabilities that could impact their park experience. The DAS covers both the impacted guest and those in their group (up to six people, including the DAS holder).

Guests in wheelchairs can usually be accommodated at the point of entry in most rides, so if your only concern is about lines and boarding with a scooter or wheelchair, you may not need the DAS at all. The DAS is designed to support those guests who have needs beyond being wheelchair-bound or beyond limited mobility. If you’re only worried about getting through the line queue or accessing a ride with a scooter, you can simply head to your chosen attraction. Cast members are well trained and will be able to assist you without the need for the DAS.

How Do I Get DAS?

Disney World's Disability Access Service - Magic Kingdom City Hall

New to fall 2021, guests can now pre-register for DAS in advance of their trip! Pre-registration can be as early as 30 days in advance, but no less than two days before arrival. The registration will consist of a live video chat with a cast member, who will determine if you are eligible for DAS. Note that DAS is still determined on a case-by-case basis.

Once approved, the cast member will book two Advance Selections for each day of your visit. If you want two selections for each day, the entire length of your trip must be within 30 days. Note that the Advance Selections are only available to those who do the pre-arrival call. The individual who is requesting DAS must be present for the call. The video call is screen reader-friendly and available with text chat for those with visual or hearing disabilities. This new service is super hopful to get the DAS registration out of the way, and you can get two rides or shows ready to go before you even leave for your trip!

If you did not pre-register, you may do so at Guest Services at any of the four theme parks:

Magic Kingdom: A Guest Services location is outside of the park turnstiles on the right-hand side. Already inside Magic Kingdom? Head under the railroad tracks, then veer to the left. Guest Services is in City Hall, the first building you’ll see.

EPCOT: Before entering the park, head to the far right. Guest Services is located outside of the gates near the monorail entrance. If you are already inside EPCOT, there are Guest Relations locations near Spaceship Earth and near the International Gateway entrance.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios: There are two options, one inside and one outside of the park; both are near the park entrance on the left-hand side.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park: Once inside the park, head to the left; Guest Services is in the first building you’ll see as you enter the park.

Lost at Disney World - Magic Kingdom Guest Experience Cast Members

Frog Family Tip: Save time and possibly some extra steps by locating a Guest Experience Team found in several locations around each park. You'll recognize these stations by looking out for the big blue umbrellas with the words "Guest Experience Team" and the park's icon printed on them. These cast members will be dressed in a royal blue shirt and black shorts or pants. The Guest Experience Team can help you set up or renew a DAS pass. They can also help book, adjust or cancel a return time. In addition, the Guest Experience Team can help answer questions about attraction wait times, showtimes, directions and general questions about the Disney World parks.

The individual requesting DAS must be present when registering, either in the video call or in person. Note that a photo will be taken. Make sure everyone in your party is linked in My Disney Experience so everyone can be included in DAS plans. Once registered, DAS is good for up to 60 days.

What Documentation Is Needed for DAS?

Disney World's Disability Access Service - Guest Experience Team member at Tron Entrance

The person requesting DAS needs to be present and you must have your tickets or your Magic Bands to complete the process. Allow about 10 to 15 minutes to complete the process. Guest Relations cast members are well versed and will walk you through the DAS process.

You do not need to have a doctor’s note or even reveal the details about you or the individual's disabilities. You do need to describe the accommodations needed to fully enjoy the park. The more details you provide about your needs, the better DAS will work for you. This is a custom program that will be tailored to meet your specific situation. Your stated needs can range from the need for a quiet area to wait in lieu of standing in line, a pass to bring a stroller right to the loading area of a ride or other specific needs your family may have.

How Do I Use DAS at Disney World?

A new feature allows registered DAS guests and their party members to make return time selections right in the My Disney Experience app. Once tapped into the park, a DAS button will appear in the app. You can access it by clicking on the bottom three lines and scrolling down the menu. Anyone in the party can make the selections for everyone, but the guest with DAS must be present when the return time is redeemed and tap into the ride queue first before anyone else in the travel party. Guests can still visit the attraction, Guest Relations or a Guest Experience Team umbrella to receive return times.

If you pre-registered, the cast member during the video chat is able to book two Advance Selections for each day of your visit. Advance Selections have a set one-hour arrival window. If not used, they will expire. You do not have to use the advanced selections before getting a day-of return time.

Return Times are day-of selections and are available once you are tapped into the park. When chosen, they reflect the current standby wait. If Peter Pan's Flight is a 50-minute wait, your return time for that attraction would be in 50 minutes. Once the return time starts, it can be used at any time until park close. You can only hold one return time at a time. Once you have tapped in at both touchpoints in the queue, you are able to book your next experience.

Return times are not able to be booked during Early Theme Park Entry. If park hopping, selections will become available once you tap into that park. If a posted wait time is 15 minutes or less, guests using DAS and their party are typically given immediate access to the Lightning Lane entrance.

Using the My Disney Experience app to make selections allows for less walking to attractions or Guest Relations to get return times. We are so glad the service is now integrated into the app so all of the planning is in one place!

What Disney World Attractions Accept DAS?

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom

Every attraction in Disney World can accommodate the needs of guests with disabilities; you can hop on over to our full list of Disability Access for Disney World Attractions to get the scoop on each individual ride. Note that the person holding DAS must meet the height requirements of the ride.

How Does DAS Work with Disney Genie?

Genie still operates the same way as before with being able to receive return times equal to the standby wait. You do not need to purchase Genie+ or individual selections to utilize DAS. Any ride with a standby wait time is eligible for DAS return times. With attractions using virtual queues (currently Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Tron Lightcycle / Run), all members must have joined the virtual queue first. Once your boarding group is called, cast members will direct you on using DAS.

Note that nearly all attractions are available for advance selections except for those attractions using the individual Lightning Lane. Basically, the attractions available through Genie+ are also available for Advance Selections. The remaining two attractions per park still use DAS, but for day-of selection only. Here are the rides that are only available to book the day of your visit and are not available ahead of time:

  • Magic Kingdom: Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Space Mountain
  • EPCOT: Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Frozen Ever After
  • Hollywood Studios: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway
  • Animal Kingdom: Avatar Flight of Passage, Expedition Everest

All attractions still offer return times with DAS. Unlike Disney Genie+, which currently only allows a ride to be selected once per day, there is no limit to return times for the same attraction.

You can also combine DAS and Genie+ or individual Lighting Lane selections to truly maximize your day! If you purchase Genie+, you can make Genie+ selections along with your DAS return times. You can also purchase individual Lightning Lanes and select an arrival window. All of these options utilize the Lightning Lane entrances. While DAS return times require you to wait the full standby time, Genie+ selections can be made for the next available time window and can be used right away. Purchasing Genie+ is not necessary when utilizing DAS, but there may be days where using both could be helpful, such as peak holiday times.

Disney World's Disability Access Service - Stroller Tag at Disney WorldDAS Stroller Tags

For families traveling with a loved one with autism or a related sensory disability, the DAS offers a way to enjoy attractions without waiting in a crowded, often overwhelming space. Guest Relations can provide you with an oversized red sticker for your stroller that allows you to bring a stroller directly to the loading area. Attractions such as Kilimanjaro Safaris require strollers to be parked at specific points in the line. If you have this pass, your child can stay in the stroller until the loading area is reached. There are a few exceptions to the policy, as sometimes guests with a DAS stroller tag may not be able to enter areas that the stroller can’t safely navigate.

Still Have Questions? Here Are Our Frogtastic FAQs!

Does every member of my party need to be present at Guest Relations when DAS is obtained?

No, the Guest Relations cast member will speak with the guest (or guardian) for whom DAS will be issued. The cast member will ask how many guests are in the party; this number can be adjusted as necessary at Guest Relations.

Once I have registered and received Disney World's DAS, what’s next?

Time to have fun! If pre-registered, you can start booking return times on the app once you are in the park. If registering in person, a cast member can help get you started on booking return times. Go to that attraction during the allotted time and enjoy! Return times are valid until redeemed prior to park closing. Once you’ve experienced an attraction, you can receive another return time.

Where do I receive more return times for attractions?

You can book return times on the My Disney Experience app or in person at the attraction or Guest Relations. You can choose another return time for the same attraction or a different one as soon as you tap in twice in the queue. Another member of your party can obtain a return time, but the guest with DAS must enter the attraction first before the other party members.

Does the guests with the DAS have to board the attraction with the rest of the party?

Yes, the guest with the DAS must enter the attraction. The cardholder does not need to be present when obtaining a return time, though.

What if I’m afraid that Disney World's DAS will not accommodate my needs?

Disney works with guests individually in order to accommodate their specific requests and provides assistance for a variety of needs and disabilities. Oftentimes, accommodations will be made at individual attractions if the system is not working at all. If you have any concerns at all, tell a cast member and they will find a way to work with you!

Do I have to get a new DAS at the start of each day?

No, DAS is valid for 60 days once registered.

How many reservations can I have?

You can only have one active return time at once. This is separate from the Advance Selections, which you can have two per day. You can have both advance selections and return times active at the same time. Both Advance Selections and return times will appear as plans in the My Disney Experience app.

Can I cancel a reservation? For example, I grab a reservation for Haunted Mansion but then decide I want to ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at that allocated time.

Yes! Return times can now be modified or canceled in the My Disney Experience app. Anyone in the party may modify the reservation, but the guest with DAS must enter the attraction.

How many guests in one party can be covered under Disney World's DAS?

The maximum is six guests per DAS. If you have special circumstances or any concerns, talk to Guest Relations.

Can I use DAS for fireworks and parades?

There are no specific reserved areas for guests using DAS. If you plan it right, it can really work out to your advantage! Guests using DAS with concerns should visit Guest Relations to see what accommodations can be made for fireworks/parade viewing. There are special viewing areas on parade routes and some shows for guests with disabilities, but those cannot be reserved and are on a first-come, first-served basis.

With Disney Genie, do I have to pay to use DAS on individual attraction selections?

DAS does not require any additional purchase with the Disney Genie+ system. Any attraction with a standby queue can issue DAS return times. Only certain attractions are available for pre-arrival Advance Selections, but all attractions are available day-of.

We hope this overview of Disney World's Disability Access Service answers your questions about the new program. If you've used DAS, we'd love to hear your thoughts about it. Share them in the comments below!

How many people does the DAS pass cover? For example we have 4 adults 2 kids and an infant in our party. Will we all be able to ride the rides that the infant can with the DAS pass? 1 of the older kids who is 9 will be the one with the DAS pass.

Hi Kimmi!

The DAS pass would cover the pass holder and five other guests for a total of six. The infant would not be included in the headcount, so you may ride together.

Is the DAS pass really worth it? It seems like the return times are blocked once one has been set. So, you can't really plan your day. To me, it sounds like more waiting around outside of a line... then inside the lines. In other words, if they tell you to come back in two hours for a ride... what are we supposed to do in those two hours when the person needing the pass can't wait in other lines during that time?

Hi Tara!

Yes, you got it exactly! This is the purpose of the DAS service, as it's not — and shouldn't be considered as — a way to skip lines. It takes the current wait time and gives you a return time for the same amount of time you would've waited in standby (you just don't have to be physically in line). While you can't get another return time for a different ride until you use it up, there are still plenty of things you can do! You can grab some food or a snack, watch a show, shop for a souvenir, meet characters and go on rides that have low enough wait times. If you want expedited access to rides, you can opt to purchase Genie+ and use both services hand-in-hand.

Hoppy planning!

Thank you so much for all the helpful information. I am from the UK and all of this riddles me with anxiety so this guide is really useful.

My question is that can you have 2 in the same party with DAS? There is my mum, dad, husband, me, our son (8yo) and our daughter (4yo). The kids are the ones requiring the DAS but really they would need 2 as there is a 4 year age gap - he will probably want to use his on the thrill rides whereas she will want meet and greets and things like Peter Pan: is this doable or is it only one DAS per booking? Thank you in advance :)

Hi Dan!

You can have two people with DAS in the same party so that you can separate. Just keep in mind that if you're riding all together, each person will need their own return time as they cannot be listed as a guest on each other's return time.

My father recently registered for DAS for our upcoming trip in June 2023. If he can ride the individual lightning lanes, do I still need to "buy" the individual lightning lanes or will DAS work as it does with all the other rides? Even if the individual lightning lanes sell out does that mean we can still walk up to the cast member at the entrance and they will give us a time to come back? Or can you secure these on the app as you do with the other rides? Thank you for clarifying!

May 15, 2023 at 1:46 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Rebecca!

Hoppy to clarify, as it's not super straightforward & simple! In general though, these rides do offer DAS, so you do not have to purchase ILL if you don't want to. However, there are some nuances. 1) If a ride offers ILL and a traditional standby line, you can get return times through the app or in person, as normal. Just keep in mind that the line may be long, so it's more likely that you'll get a return time later in the day (and since you can only hold one DAS return time at a time, you wouldn't be able to get another DAS return time until then). If you wish to speed up the process and not tie up a DAS return time for that long, you can opt to purchase an ILL. 2) If you pre-register using the DAS Advance option (up to 30 days before your visit), rides that offer ILL cannot be reserved in advance, but you can get DAS return times on the day of. 3) If a ride offers ILL and a virtual queue (at this time, it's only TRON Lightcycle / Run at Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT), you must join the virtual queue and be assigned a Boarding Group in order to use DAS, if you did not purchase an ILL. Once your Boarding Group number is called, you can check in with a cast member at the entrance and proceed through the Lightning Lane. If you were unsuccessful at getting a Boarding Group, you would need an ILL (as these are the only two ways to access these particular rides at this time).

I read through the entire guide and comments but didn’t see my question answered. I obtained DAS today for my son through the video chat. Does Disney offer return times for rides through park closing? Or is it like Genie+ and return times “sell out”? For example, if lightning lanes for Flight of the Passage sell out, can you still get a DAS return time so long as the posted wait time will get you on the ride prior to park closing? Meaning it’s a 90 minute wait but the park closes in 3 hours, can you grab a DAS return time? I think the answer is yes but I wanted to verify. Thanks for your helpful website!

Hi Megan!

As long as the current wait time would get you on prior to park closing, then you should be toadally fine! If it's getting to closer to park close and the wait time is high (say 60 minutes at 7:30 p.m. when park close is at 8 p.m.), in our experience, our frog fam has been able to ask nicely and get return times that would be shorter than normal to get on before closing. Though in general, this specific ask may just depend on wait times, the attraction and discretion of the cast members.

Hi Shayla!

If the DAS pass for your mom has expired, you would need to go through the registration process again to renew. The DAS holder needs to be there in person anytime you register or renew. However, if your son has a disability too, then we'd suggest going to Guest Services to get him registered as a DAS holder.

We have a party with 2 teens with disabilities who live across the US from each other. The group will mostly be together but will split up at times. Is there a way for us to join the video call together to (hopfully) get the same advance selections?

Reply
Mar 29, 2023 at 9:32 a.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Janina!

We're not toadally sure if you can join or connect the live call together from different places (though when requesting a live chat, it doesn't appear to have that as an option). That said, we would suggest that you make sure everyone in your entire party is connected through your Family and Friends list and is sharing plans with each other before either person requests the chat. Then, perhaps the cast member assisting Group 2 would be able to see the DAS Advance selections that Group 1 has already made, and can try to assist as best as possible to get DAS Advance selections that have the same return time or ones that overlap. (Also note: if your total party consists of six people, then you'd really only need one person to sign up for DAS, as it would cover the DAS holder and up to five guests.)

DAS is given out on a case-by-case basis, so we'd suggest that you check in with Guest Services when you arrive at the parks to discuss your options for accommodations. While you won't need to present any medical documents or doctor's notes, you will need to be able to explain his needs and how he can benefit from DAS.

We will be traveling with 5 adults, 1 child (who has a DAS) and a 2 year who doesn’t require a ticket. In the past when using the DAS pass the person assigned to the DAS scans their magic band first and then the 5 people going along scan their magic band. Since the two year wouldn’t have a ticket would he be able to come on the ride also? He would be the 7th but our party would only be scanning for six.

Hi Donna!

Great question! You should be fine, based on the fact that children under 3 who don't have a ticket can stay with their groups when using Genie+ or an individual Lightning Lane selection. But we'd recommend that you ask for confirmation when you register for DAS (because otherwise, it could vary by attraction).

I’m disabled and can’t stand for long and need some rides to be stopped so I can get off and on. We are going to Disney in April. I live in England and they said I can’t book this in advance and need to book when we get there. Do I need to take pip paperwork and blue badge with me. In England I have an access card. Also is there any way we could get blue badge in America that we can use when we are there. Any help grateful.

Hi Cheryl!

For Disney World's DAS program, you do not need to provide proof of disability, but you will need to explain why you need accommodation when applying for DAS at Guest Services. As for your Blue Badge, you may need to apply for a temporary disabled parking permit through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

Hi Zazu!

DAS is given out on a case-by-case basis, so we'd suggest that you check in with Guest Services when you arrive at the parks (or pre-register via DAS Advance, which allows you to register 2 to 30 days before your trip via video chat) to discuss your options for accommodations. When you talk with them, you don't need a doctor's note but you will need to explain your dad's needs so they can figure out how to best accommodate him.

My 11 year old son has CP and although we have been to Disney before he was a lot smaller and a stroller was sufficient. He is not much older and walking and heavier and will require an adaptive stroller or a wheelchair to get around as his main mode of transport. Will he be eligible for DAS and will he be able to get on many rides, were he will not have to be lifted too much by me that will be painful for both of us for a full day trip.

Hi Christine!

DAS arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis, though the standard is 6 total in a party (including the DAS user). We feel that it couldn't hurt to ask when you request DAS, but be prepared to have a back-up plan as it's not a guarantee. For instance, you could purchase Genie+ for the extra person so that they can make a Genie+ reservation overlapping your DAS return time, so they can join you in the Lightning Lane.

Hi Joytotheworld!

You would only need one person to have DAS, unless your group is larger than 6 people total. If you are traveling with a larger party, then you could get DAS for both and split the party so that everyone is covered. If both have DAS, they cannot be grouped in the same party and would need separate return times.

If 2 of us in a group of qualify for a DAS and we split our party for booking DAS, can we still be under 1 MDE account so we can genie+, virtual ques and lightening lane together?

Reply

Hi Jo!

We'd recommend that the two DAS holders have separate MDE accounts, as each one will need their own DAS return time (two DAS holders can't be on the same one), but link everyone else in the party to both accounts. If going on the same ride, the DAS holders should be able to get return times within a similar time window, so everyone can go in line together. It may be a little trickier with virtual queues, but if you end up in different boarding groups, we'd ask the team members in front of the ride if you can combine.

Hoppy planning!

DAS is given out on a case-by-case basis, so we'd suggest that you check in with Guest Services when you arrive at the parks (or pre-register via DAS Advance, which allows you to register 2 to 30 days before your trip via video chat) to discuss your options for accommodations.

My son recently broke his elbow and although not in a cast now he has now been put in a mobility brace which will be in place for the whole of our visit. Is he still able to go on the rides?

Reply

Hi Louise!

It will most likely depend on the ride! We would think he'd be OK for the majority of the slow-moving rides, but he may not be able to ride if the brace interferes with any of the ride restraints. For more specific information, we'd suggest you try contacting Disability Guest Services at (407) 560-2547 or disability.services@disneyparks.com

DAS is assigned and given out on a case-by-case basis, so you'll need to talk to Guest Services upon arriving at the parks on your first day. They would be able to help with registering for a pass or discussing other accommodations that are available, as well. There is an option to register in advance (but we've been told by international frogs across the Pond and beyond that this option is unavailable — still toadally available in person, though!).

Reply
Jul 7, 2022 at 8:42 a.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Sue!

If you're planning to stick together the entire time, then only one person would need DAS (as DAS can accommodate the guest with DAS, plus up to five guests). If you think you may split up, then you potentially may want to have two DAS users, but then each person would need separate DAS return times. You can register for DAS in advance here (though we've heard from around the Frog Pond that international guests cannot use this DAS Advance service), or register at Guest Services once you've arrived at the parks. DAS does not include free parking.

Hi, I have 2 autistic children and will be applying for DAS later this year. We are 2 families travelling together so more than 6 but park tickets are split between the 2 families. How does the access to the rides work for DAS? I understand the virtual waiting but getting on the rides, is it only the 6 registered that can accompany my children? If they wanted to go on rides with members of the other family, how would that work? Or would it not be possible? Or would I need to link one of my children's tickets to their family in MDE?

Hi Emma!

The two kids would need to be separate (can’t be listed as a guest of the other kid) and each would need their own return times. As for the guests, if everyone’s connected to both children, then you can select the people who are accompanying each DAS holder. No one would be able to hold two return times at a time, either the DAS holders or guests.

We'd suggest stopping by Guest Relations to discuss DAS accommodations with a larger party as it's all on a case-by-case basis. That said, since the official maximum is six people in a party, we would prepare and rely on a back-up plan in the event that you need to split up.

I tried repeatedly to book DAS for my son from here in the UK. Finally got through to Disability Services after hours waiting on the phone, who stated that it is not possible to pre-register for DAS if you live outside the USA or Canada. I’m told I must register on the day. I must queue with my son (who needs DAS because he can’t queue!!) at Guest Services on my first day.

Not very equitable is it? Puts my son at a distinct disadvantage. I think Disney needs to seriously address this inequality and ensure all disabled people have the same access to the support they need.

I found out about DAS after almost having a panic attack on the waiting line for Space Mountain while at Magic Kingdom. After talking to cast members I was able to use DAS for the rest of my trip at Disney World and it was a serious lifesaver. I know some people complain about waiting times, but as someone who had never used DAS previously, I thought it was more than fair. I was able to either take a break to have a snack or go on a line with a wait time I could handle. In all I had the best experience at Epcot and Animal Kingdom, thanks to the pass. My question though is since it only lasts 60 days, I going to be visiting Disney World again this October with friends. Will they have record that I used DAS in the past, to make registering online easier since I will already be in the system.

Apr 11, 2022 at 1:51 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Haylee!

Yes, you would need to reapply. Generally, Guest Services does not keep records and policies could change, so it's not guaranteed. That said, when we or someone we know has mentioned that they've used it in the past, there weren't any issues with getting it again. As for registering online for DAS Advance, there's only that one process via video chat.

I registered for DAS and got accepted. I was asked to choose 2 rides as an advanced DAS planning option. I registered for 2 rides, one is for 1:30 and the other is for 5:00 - those were the only times available. My question is: It's very confusing... when I enter the gates of EPCOT, will I be able to register for additional rides on DAS, through the app, or can I not register because I already have 2 rides/time slots scheduled? In other words, can we have more than 2 time slots reserved on DAS? I have been looking for the answer but getting conflicting results. I know that you can help me. THANK YOU in advance!

I just got my child (who was recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders) signed up for the DAS program, and I am so very grateful. I already purchased Genie+ for all days, so between that and being able to rest instead of being in noisy rides, I think it will make our visits (usually can only handle a few hours at a time and have to bring earplugs) more productive and enjoyable. I know there are baby care centers, but do you have recommendations for quiet places to go in the park if you have a kiddo who needs a sensory break? Thanks!

We absolutely do! Here are some of our favorite quieter spots in the parks, which could work as a sensory break for your tadpole:

Magic Kingdom: Liberty Square (behind the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe), the walkway in Frontierland that lines the water (if water noise isn't too much)

EPCOT: the EPCOT Experience building (which is also close to the baby center), Morocco pavilion (especially in the back), Canada pavilion in front of Victoria Gardens or by the waterfall (if water noise isn't too much), U.K. pavilion gardens (as long as there isn't a band playing)

Animal Kingdom: any of the animal trails, especially Discovery Island trails and the short Cretaceous Trail by DINOSAUR

Hollywood Studios: Animation Courtyard, Echo Lake and just inside the Toy Story Land entrance by Galaxy's Edge (there is some foot traffic, but if you move off to the side, it's fairly quiet)
