Disney keeps changing their website disabilities pages for WDW and DL.
A few days ago, there were 2 sets of instructions - one was for people coming BEFORE the date changes take place. And one was for people coming after.
Now, there is only one set. I don't know why they cut the second set. It may be because it was confusing people or maybe because they will add more information as the time gets closer.

Disneyland page:
For Guests visiting from April 9 through May 19, 2024,
please note:
- Pre-arrival conversations to determine eligibility for DAS are available 2-30 days prior to your park visit.
- In-person conversations to determine eligibility for DAS will continue to be at Guest Relations locations.
- You can book up to 2 one-hour return windows for select experiences using our DAS Advance planning option.
- DAS is valid for up to 30 days from the start of the registration. Once the service has elapsed, Guests will need to re-register.
Most have assumed this means the health professional company would be:
- training Cast Members who will be doing screening
- training front line cast members on how different accommodations would be managed at their attraction
- coming up with possible accommodations and how to operationalize them
- act as consultants as difficult situations occur
We don't know what the process will be. It could be something very different than what people are imagining.
Totally agree.
In the past, when all registration was in person at Guest Relations, I heard lots of discussions regarding letters. CMs talking quietly and guests talking loudly:
"My Doctor wrote AN ORDER that says we need front of the line access. You have to give it to us."
"What do you mean WHAT ARE MY CONCERNS with waiting in line? I need handicapped accommodations."
"My doctor said you shouldn't make me wait in lines. You try being pregnant with 3 small kids. That's a disability"
It does spread guests out except for if the ride goes down and all who didn't ride when it was down come back at the same time to ride
The piece we don't know is how many 'slots' were taken up by the DAS Advance Selections. The websites no longer mention them, so it appears they are going away, at least for most people with disabilities.
Allears net reported they may be still available for certain disabilities- no information on who or how
Orlando Medical Rentals has the largest variety of special needs strollers to rent for WDW.
AdaptiveMall. Com is a good place to 'window shop.'
