Hi, Michael! Thanks for bringing your question to the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
As the mom of a child with special needs, I really appreciate that the
Walt Disney World Resort goes above and beyond to accommodate
guests with disabilities. My son has autism, and we utilize
Disability Access Service (DAS) when we visit the Walt Disney World Resort. Disability Access Service is meant to help guests whose disabilities prevent them from waiting in a traditional queue environment.
In order to set up Disability Access Service for your little Mouseketeer, you will want to visit
Guest Relations with your entire travel party when you arrive at any of the Walt Disney World
theme parks. At Guest Relations, you can explain your child's needs to a Cast Member. If it is determined that Disability Access Service is the right accommodation for your little one, the Cast Member will take a photo of your child and scan the
MagicBands or admission cards of everyone in your party to associate all members with the Disability Access Service account. You will only need to do this on the first day that you visit a theme park. The Disability Access Service account will be good for your entire trip, and all members of your party will be associated with it.
When you wish to use Disability Access Service, someone in your party will need to see a Cast Member at an
attraction to obtain a ride return time. The Cast Member will scan your MagicBand or admission card and ask which members of your party will be riding. Please keep in mind that in order to use Disability Access Service, the guest to which the account is assigned, in this case, your 2-year old, must be experiencing the attraction. Any other guest (or all of the guests) associated with the Disability Access Service account my accompany your little one on the ride.
If we can answer any additional questions for you as you prepare for your vacation, please visit us again. See ya real soon!
