​What is a DAS communication card?

The Disability Access Support Card gives you a written way to explain that prolonged standing and waiting create barriers for you. Its wording requests a return time so you can remain with your party.

What it helps you communicate

  • That a disability affects your ability to stand and wait.
  • That you are asking to discuss a return time and staying with your party.
  • A starting point for a conversation, with room to explain your individual needs.

What it does not provide

  • DAS registration, approval, or priority entry.
  • A promised return time or a specific accommodation.
  • Medical verification, official disability identification, or Disney endorsement.
A little preparation. One clearer conversation.

​How to use your disability communication card

01

Read it before your visit

Make sure the message fits your situation. Think about what makes waiting difficult and why a suggested option may or may not work for you.

02

Share it when you need it

Show the card to a Cast Member or a team leader as a written starting point. Add details about your needs if you choose.

03

Ask about the next step

​Discuss which options are available and how they work at that attraction. The card itself does not arrange access or change a DAS decision.
​“Could you read this first? It explains why standing and waiting are difficult for me. Can we talk about an option that addresses those needs?”
An optional way to begin the conversation. Use your own words and describe your situation accurately.
Your needs still deserve to be heard

​Denied Disney DAS?
Prepare for the next conversation.

A denial can leave you wondering how you will manage your visit. Write down the barrier you face, the option you were offered, and why that option would not meet your needs.
​
A card can help you put that conversation into words. It does not overturn a DAS denial or promise another form of access.

New to Disability Access Service?

Disney describes DAS as a program for guests who cannot wait in a conventional queue for an extended time because of a developmental disability such as autism or similar. Eligibility is determined through Disney’s process.

Other queue access options may be available. Ask Disney’s accessibility team how an option applies to your needs, especially if you visit alone or cannot separate from your party.
