What Is DAS at Disney World
DAS stands for Disability Access Service, a Disney World program that provides return times for attractions instead of standing in a traditional standby queue. It is designed for guests whose disability prevents them from waiting in long lines. The service is available at all four Walt Disney World theme parks in Florida: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom. You request DAS at a Guest Services window or at the Disability Access Service Kiosk near park entrances. The return time is typically based on the current standby wait for the attraction at the time of request. You can then explore the park and return to the attraction within the window shown on your DAS pass. For official details, see the Disney World Disability Access Service page.
DAS is not a traditional Fast Pass or paid skip-the-line product. It is a free accommodation provided to guests with disabilities. Each DAS return time is tied to the specific attraction you requested. You can obtain return times for multiple attractions, but Disney recommends spacing them out to manage crowd flow. Cast Members may ask for documentation of a qualifying disability, but they do not always require proof on the spot. The program is managed by Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, a division of The Walt Disney Company. Policies are updated periodically based on guest feedback and operational needs.
How to Get DAS at Disney World
To get DAS, arrive at the park and head directly to Guest Services or the Disability Access Service Kiosk. At the kiosk, select the attraction you want to visit, and the system will print or display a return time. You can also request DAS at a Guest Services window if you prefer personal assistance. The return time is usually the current standby wait time for that attraction at the moment of request. Once you receive your DAS pass, you are free to enjoy other experiences in the park until your return window begins. When you return, go to the DAS entrance for that attraction and present your pass. For more details, visit the Disney Disability Access Service overview.
You can request DAS for each member of your party, including children. One DAS pass can be linked to multiple guests, but each guest must use the same return time for a given attraction. If your group splits up, each person needs their own DAS pass tied to their own ticket or reservation. Disney recommends requesting DAS early in the day to maximize your time in the park. You can also request return times for different attractions throughout the day. Keep in mind that DAS return times can change if the standby wait for an attraction changes significantly. Cast Members may update your return time if necessary.
DAS Rules, Limitations, and Tips
DAS return times are valid only for the specific attraction and date on which they were issued. You cannot use a DAS return time from one park in another park. If you leave the park and return later, your DAS pass may no longer be valid for that day. Disney does not allow guests to sell or transfer DAS passes. The system is designed to prevent abuse and ensure fair access for guests with genuine needs. Disney uses data from park operations and guest services to monitor DAS usage and adjust policies when needed. For current rules, see the Disney World DAS policy page.
To get the most out of DAS, request return times for high-demand attractions during peak hours. Use the time while waiting to visit nearby shows, character meet-and-greets, or quick-service dining locations. Check the Disney World app for real-time wait times and DAS return windows
