Hi Zoe, welcome to planDisney! Thanks for bringing your question here today. I hope I can reassure you that your family can experience all the magic on offer at Walt Disney World.
You're right that we Brits can't pre-book Walt Disney World's Disability Access Service (DAS) for Guests who, because of a disability, cannot wait in a typical queue environment. That said, it takes mere moments to obtain DAS once you arrive at any Walt Disney World theme park by speaking with
Guest Relations. Your son requiring DAS should be present for this friendly consultation, which will only need to be completed once to be valid for your entire trip. Official medical documentation is not typically required.
When it comes to purchasing tickets for Disney World, visitors from the UK are fortunate to have access to
Magic Tickets, which include Park Hopper and
Memory Maker. It's important to note that these tickets must be purchased before you leave the UK. However, if you're not comfortable doing so, there's no need to worry. Once you arrive in Orlando, you can purchase tickets that are available to everyone in the United States.
Zoe, I wanted to share a final piece tidbit with you. Walt Disney World is so much more than waiting for thrill rides.
Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade in Magic Kingdom Park, for example, is an absolute must-see. It features all your treasured Disney characters, iconic music, and delightful floats that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
I hope this information helps today and that you enjoy a magical day!
Louise
