Disability Rights & ADA

Disabled guests filed a federal lawsuit and a shareholder proposal challenging Disney’s recent narrowing of its Disability Access Service (DAS) eligibility at Disneyland and Disney World, arguing the policy is too restrictive and improperly limits who can bypass long standby lines. Disney now reserves DAS mainly for guests with developmental disabilities such as autism, requires video‑chat screening with a Disney worker and contracted medical professional, and warns violators can be banned; the company says DAS grew from about 5% to 20% of parkgoers and other accommodations remain available.
