    I went to disneyland paris last month with a disability pass and it was completely different.
    We had to register phisically at the park, I had to bring some kind of evidence that I actually needed the pass. so I used my Autipass, but a note from my doctor would have been okay too.
    There were no reservations. i was simply allowed to walk up to any ride through the exit and hop on, allong with the rest of my family. Sometimes there was a short line of other people with a das pass.
    For character meets we could skip the lines and the cast member would give us a return time, usually it was only a five minute wait.
    There was also a seperate disability line at the restaurants so we didn't have to wait too long there either.
    It was amazing. i honestly don't know how I used to manage disneyland without it

    I appreciate this video. I have an annual pass and I didn’t know this was an option for me. It will definitely help me on the days I go with people who want to be at the park for long periods of time. I can only handle Disney for so long before I get overwhelmed.

    My daughter and I just went to Disneyland 2 weeks ago with my daughter's Girl Scout troop. We are both on the spectrum. I didn't learn of the DAS pass until a few days before the trip. I was so overwhelmed with all the info online about it that I didn't get it. Luckily the troop leader helped us all get a genie plus pass so that we could skip the lines which was really great. Had I seen a video like this I probably wouldn't have been intimidated by the process. Thanks for breaking down the information and showing the process. Next time we go, I feel like I can do it.

      @MomontheSpectrum  2 роки тому +5

      Oh wow! I'm sure you have a lot of stories you could tell. You know, our vacation was both incredible and exhausting. It was very difficult to manage the sensory overwhelm, and there were many moments of frustration, and challenges that were hard to work through, but I would do it all again! It was overall a huge success, and this DAS pass honestly made it possible. I'm convinced we wouldn't have even been able to stand in line for one ride without it.

    Unfortunately, Disney is not very accommodating to paraplegics who use wheelchairs for mobility. If you just use wheelchairs for mobility Disney states that DAS is not for you. Yet there are many rides that are not accessible. For example, the People Mover, Pirates of the Caribbean, Dinoland USA, space Mountain, Frozen, Na’vi River Journey, etc are all not accessible. There are others like Rocken Roller Coaster and the Run away railway that have this step transfer system but if you are unable to do elevated transfers (which is still not a reason for DAS access) you are unable to ride those as well. Rides like Slinky Dog, Everest, and Rise have car doors which make them very accessible but these rides are only a few in the parks. Guess Disney’s “wokeness” has not yet reached the population that deals with paralysis. Guess the part that really bothers me is I pay the same price for a ticket yet I’m limited on what I can enjoy at the parks. Sorry for my “Debbie Downer” post and don’t get my wrong, I’m happy it works for you. I’ve worked with individuals with autism and it can be very difficult so it’s nice to see when companies make accommodations. All the rides that I mentioned above could be made accessible, just like the ones that are already designed accessible like Rise and Slinky Dog.

    Wow. I wish we used this for our trip a couple weeks ago. This system is honestly very similar to what their normal fast pass program used to be. We never needed to worry about handling the park, because we could anticipate our day.
    Their new system is terrible, because you don’t know what reservations for rides you can get until 7am on that day. A schedule is SO important to me managing my day and it was MISERABLE. Talk about being overwhelmed and overstimulated for the week.
    Wishing we used the DAS pass. I’m glad you guys had a good experience.

    I've been to Disney many times with my family and I have had either a meltdown or shutdown (something that I didn't realize was happening because I didn't know I was autistic when I was a kid) on every trip. My most prominent memory of Epcot is throwing up in the bushes right before the fireworks and spending the rest of the evening sitting in a wheelchair covering my ears.
    Now that I've been working on understanding myself and knowing what I need to do in order to not overdue things, I'm curious to see how our next trip to Disney goes.

    This is sooo helpful, thank you! We are going to Disney in October and my 10 year old son has ASD and ADHD so it's hard for him to wait in line very long without losing his mind. I was told about the DAS pass from my travel planner but she didn't really tell me what all it entailed so I was a little worried about how complicated it would be, you know since it seems EVERYTHING these days has to be complicated. Glad to hear it's not awful. I did have a quick question though, I have not received my ASD diagnosis yet (on a waitlist) so since my son is the one who it would be under, he will need to be present for the interview correct? Just want to make sure I keep him corralled as best I can if so. Thank you again for the wonderful information!

      I was able to get and use the pass prior to my diagnosis, at that point I was self-diagnosed and in the process of diagnosis, and Disney can’t legally ask for proof of diagnosis so you could get the pass for yourself as well as your son.
      I believe if you are getting the pass for your son and registering online he would need to be present for the call as they take a photo of the user during the call to add to the pass for use in the parks. However, I don’t have any experience with this myself just heard from my research prior to my trip in Jan.

      I don’t have personal experience, but based on my research prior to my trip, when registering you could do the talking as their guardian/carer, and your children would simply need to be present if they are to be the user of the pass as their photo would need to be taken during the registration process to be applied to their pass.

However, my wife did have a meltdown when we tried to watch the Fantasmic show. There was an insane amount of people gathered in one area and she couldn’t handle it. I wonder if there is some sort of DAS option for shows like Fantasmic and World of Color? There are roped of areas for these events, but we couldn’t get tickets for Fantasmic. We did get a ticket for a roped off area at World of Color and it was great.

Since amusement parks are one of my main special interests, I take advantage of the fact that this is the only time strangers are going to want to talk about amusement parks with me!

I had a problem where I was getting a "Go back to the previous page or log in to continue your conversation." error on the chat after a while, after a call with Disability Services I was advised that refreshing my browser every 15 minutes or so would fix the problem as I was probably being logged out automatically after a period of inactivity.

    You explained this so well. From a dad who has been using the DAS pass since 2014 and seen the changes through the years it has only improved. The fact that we can do stuff from the app now is awesome we use to have to go up to the ride and get a return time and that would upset our son as he though we were going to ride that ride at that point. The new way is so much smoother and honestly we watch for rides with lower wait times and try to go wait in lines for those and maybe set up a das for a ride that might give us an hour long wait time that way by the time we are done with the shorter wait we can go maybe ride Seven Dwarfs or Slinky dog depending on the park, This has helped our son learn to wait for shorter line waits such as maybe Little Mermaid or Winnie the Pooh. We've learned to do mobile order as well so when maybe waiting for a ride we can put in an order for a snack or meal while heading to another ride that we are currently waiting on and this has helped to keep the day moving smoothly. The only thing with the new DAS system is getting the pre register to work. We were unsuccessful in getting it done before we went but it was still realatively new and we just went to guest services at Animal Kingdom and they helped us out right away.

  • @gMagicScott

    I was on the fence before my trip on whether or not we'd really need DAS. So I didn't end up signing up in advance. It was an awful long wait in the park (with someone who struggles being in that line). If you aren't sure, call in anyway and let them know that fact.
    If you also have physical disabilities, getting DAS for Jungle Cruise & Spaceship Earth aren't really worth it. There is a dedicated physical disibility virtual line for both of those attractions. Sign up at the attraction entrance. There may be more, those are the 2 that I remember.

    So I’m hoping this will help some so I don’t end up having to leave the ride from exhaustion and low blood sugar (I pack snacks but sometimes it’s just one of those days where it’s hard to keep my blood sugar up)

    We hadn't had any issues until this last visit for a Halloween party. My mom had a massive stroke that left her unable to use her right side, cognitive issues, memory issues, and incontinence - even with the DAS pass I change her multiple times in a day. Anywho, this last time we went, I told them about the issues with incontinence and the CM responded rather coldly with "that's just a diagnosis those aren't symptoms." I kind of made a face of disbelief and I think it must have been a strong reaction because I remember her sort of going quiet and giving us the pass without another word. I'm hoping it was a one off and not a sign that they're somehow getting unnecessarily strict with the pass. It's a tough enough issue to discuss in public and my mom always just kind of hangs her head in shame when I'm discussing it with the CM (and other people around listening). We did try to do it over chat but, as you stated, the wait times have been insane lately.

      I have to take my service dog with me because she alerts to elevated heart rates and panic attacks and helps disrupt certain behaviours. The last time I went to register for the pass (at Epcot) the cast member was super rude to me asking why I even need the dog and I get really anxious waiting in lines especially for how long that took, and when I get confronted like that and put under pressure I go mute. My friend was about to jump in and scream at him had he not given the pass. I hope to never experience that again.

      I recently learned that if you are watching from the website, captions can be moved to different locations on the video screen but clicking and dragging them. I don’t think this is possible on the mobile app, but wanted to mention for any website users :)

    Do you have a list as to what disabilities are included? My son is adult autistic, so I know he would be included. I am 62 with diabetes and high cholesterol, having trouble with balance - would I qualify? Daughter age 36 ADHD, would she qualify? Thanks.

    • @WatchTashi
      @WatchTashi Місяць тому

      I think this is for people who cannot stand in a typical line at Disney. Idk how high cholesterol would prevent you from standing in line. Or diabetes. But if you have balance issues, that may qualify.
      I have adhd and have stood in many lines. I'd say that probably does not qualify.
      It's for people with autism and other special needs such as mobility needs, etc. maybe check out their website or call Disney and ask them.
      I'm not referring to you when I say this but there are a lot of people with zero morals who are using this ti their advantage when they have no need for it. It's infuriating for this of us with kids and grands who do have a legitimate need.
      In fact, I think we are going to look into Make A Wish. They require actual documentation from physicians, etc.

    I just finished signing up for a DAS pass for my son this morning. I logged on at about 8:25 this morning and I am already finished. It was so easy. I also was able to do it on my IPad with no problems, since I have a keyboard accessory for it. Thanks to your video, I was well prepared and able to navigate the process with ease. I also had backups when my first two pre-selections didn’t work out. So thank you so much for doing this video. I am pleasantly surprised that I got through so quickly. I think the earlier you start in the day the quicker you might get connected with an agent. Again thank you for this video and all of your other videos. They have been a great help. God bless and take care.

    It’s so interesting to hear your experience and how the chat went for you. When I did this process, in late December, I was not asked those questions prior to the video chat, I also did not see the CM during the video call and the question I was asked was slightly different. I had some trouble with the CM and the advance selections, however once I did get connected, they asked me to provide a list of all the info needed for selections (park visiting, date and top 3 choices for ride) then the CM returned with 2 ride times for each day rather than walking through the selections like you did. Not sure if things have changed and issues have been more streamlined since I registered in late December.
    Also, I’m not sure if things have changed, but when I went in Jan 2022 I was able to get day of reservations in the morning for rides that I had an advanced reservation scheduled in the afternoon. I did not have to cancel the advanced selection in order to get the day of pass. It actually was very helpful to get on rides I was very excited to ride multiple times.

We are going to Disneyworld at the end of October this year and have been looking into this Das Pass as my daughter is going through a Autism diagnosis and even though we are super excited for the holiday I have been worrying about how she will cope in certain situations while there especially like waiting in ques for rides. Just wanted to check I understand what you was saying..with the 30-day pre register about being 30 days from the last day of the trip, so our last day is on November 14th so would that mean I'd register on October 16th? 💖 Thanks

So, I just started telling him everything about us, lolol (it's a thing I do when my anxiety rears its head), and he was trying his best not to cut me off in order to tell me we were both approved 😬🤷‍♀️🤣

      I went the summer after kindergarten (looong before any of us even considered I might be autistic). Although, I kind of think that my not being aware of the concept of summer break should have been a hint. Or being traumatized by the haunted mansion ride, not the ghosts and things, but the seat suddenly jerking backwards. It took me over a decade to be able to stay in the dentist chair while they lowered it down.
