"Disneyland Implements Stricter Measures to Prevent Disability Access Service Abuse"

Disney is changing its policies for visitors with disabilities at its theme parks, aiming to restrict eligibility for the disability access service known as DAS due to widespread misuse. The updates, effective in May and June, will limit the program to a small percentage of guests with developmental disabilities who are unable to wait in conventional queues. The changes have sparked uncertainty and concern among fans, with some fearing that they may no longer qualify for the service. Disney is also adding options for people who might have difficulty with lines, including a "return to queue" process, and will have more workers available to help direct guests to the options they need.
