Hey there, Isabel! Welcome to planDisney, your one-stop shop for planning a truly magical Disneyland Resort adventure! It sounds like your pixie-dusted journey to the Happiest Place on Earth is just around the corner—I'm so excited for you!
You've got questions about the
Disability Access Service (DAS), and I'm happy to share some insights! The Disneyland Resort is committed to ensuring that every Guest has an opportunity to experience the magic. DAS is a special program designed to help Guests with developmental disabilities enjoy the parks more comfortably, especially if traditional lines and wait times might feel a bit overwhelming. It's a wonderful tool that helps make the park experience more accessible for everyone.
As you plan your magical adventure, Isabel, you might be considering the Disability Access Service (DAS) to help make your visit even more enjoyable! If, after a conversation with a Cast Member, it is determined that you are eligible, DAS will be valid for the length of your park ticket or up to 240 days, whichever is shorter. This provides plenty of flexibility to experience the magic, allowing you to focus on the fun, knowing that the details are taken care of!
Registering for DAS is a simple process that involves having a discussion with a friendly Cast Member to see if it's the right fit. This conversation can be done virtually (like magic through the screen!) or in person once you arrive at the Disneyland Resort. Guests can register for DAS up to 60 days before their visit, but since your adventure begins next week, Isabel, you can register at any time! Just remember, the Guest who is requesting DAS needs to be present during the registration process. If you have any additional questions about DAS or would like to discuss the specifics of your visit, you can reach out to the Disability Services team via the email address at the bottom of
this page.
Beyond DAS, the Disneyland Resort is committed to providing a welcoming and accessible experience for all Guests. There's a wealth of resources available for Guests with disabilities, including those who are neurodivergent or require the use of wheelchairs or other adaptive devices. I can personally attest to this, as I recently visited the parks with a guest who uses a wheelchair. The Cast Members were incredibly friendly and helpful, and we had a truly magical time navigating the parks together. You'll find a wide array of helpful details, including a thorough sensory experience guide that explains what to expect in each land and attraction, on the
Guests with Disabilities page. This is a fantastic tool for planning a visit that's tailored to your specific needs and preferences!
Isabel, I hope this helps you prepare for a truly magical visit to the Disneyland Resort. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Remember, at planDisney, we're all ears and ready to help you plan the most wonderful trip imaginable. Have a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah day!
