    We plan to apply for DAS for our child. There are 7 in our party, 2 adults and our 5 minors. Is there any exception to the allowed party size for immediate family with the DAS?

    Hi Emily!

    One of the reasons I love visiting the Walt Disney World Resort repeatedly is because they are committed to providing magical experiences for guests of all abilities. I have a child with special needs and our visits have always been successful because of the thought that is put into accommodating him. Some changes are coming to the Disability Access Service (DAS) at the Walt Disney World Resort. While there are guidelines regarding party size for DAS, there is an understanding that each situation is unique, especially when it comes to immediate family members.

    I recommend visiting the website dedicated to Guests with Disabilities on the Walt Disney World Resort website. There, you'll find detailed information about accommodations and services for guests with various needs. 

    Once you arrive at the Walt Disney World Resort, the team will be happy to have an individual discussion with you and your family regarding your child's specific needs. If approved for DAS, they will work closely with you and your family to determine the accommodations and party size.

    Their goal is to provide a magical experience for all guests, and the team is there to support you and your family every step of the way. 

    I hope you and your family have a magical time!
