Hey friend,
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for bringing your planning question to us. You’ll be visiting Walt Disney World very soon and I’m thrilled to help you with planning your visit.
Disney’s Disability Access Service (
DAS) is a service that supports guests who are unable to wait in a traditional standby queue for an extended period of time due to a developmental disability. If you have multiple children who might qualify for DAS, you absolutely can apply for each of them individually. Each child would need to register via live video chat. If approved, each child will have their own DAS selection function in your
My Disney Experience app so that you can manage their experiences separately. For example, if one DAS-eligible child wants to ride Pirates of the Caribbean but the other hates boat rides and would prefer to ride Space Mountain at the same time, you can split your party and do both! Each guest who qualifies for DAS will be able to register with a party size of up to 3 additional party members for a total of 4 guests per eligible DAS registrant.
As far as separate parks, this is possible too. Disney World's
Property Rules state that children under age 14 must be accompanied by at least one guest over 14 to enter the theme parks, so you will want to ensure that someone in your party who is heading to Hollywood Studios is over age 14. Also, you will want to make sure that everyone is linked and has access to the My Disney Experience app so that they can book attractions when they’re not in the same park as you since you can only book attractions from inside the park.
While you’re here, I also want to share a few resources with you that have been super helpful for my family when we visit. Knowing what to expect before we visit has been the key to success for us, so I hope they will help you as well. The
Accessibility Planning Guide has been super helpful during the planning stages. Disney has also created the
Sensory Experience Details Guide to help you and your boys know exactly what to expect on each attraction and during entertainment experiences. Also, it’s noted in the Accessibility Planning Guide, but knowing where to
take a break is key for when the kiddos get overstimulated. These tools have helped my family have the most memorable trips with minimal meltdowns, and I hope they will help your family.
I hope this information is helpful! If you have any additional planning questions, please stop by and see us here at planDisney again! TTFN… ta-ta for now!
