Hi, I'm autistic and I went to Disney World last year. I was very grateful to have DAS, I think I would've been overwhelmed with anxiety, if I hadn't decided to register, although I registered onsite at guest relations, so I didn't get the advanced selections, but oh well. I'll be sure to pre-register this time though
How did you find registering onsite? I was told I wouldn't be able to do it via video chat so wondered how you found it? Was there a big queue? Was it easy?
@@emilygray731No not a huge queue at all, but I can't say for certain that it will be the same for you, as crowds are unpredictable these days. And yes, it was easy, I just told them about my autism and they were on it straight away. The more information you give them, the easier it will be to get registered
@@emilygray731yes, it’s very easy. I think it’s arguably a lot easier than doing the online alternative! I just did mine at Guest Relations at Magic Kingdom - as you’d expect from Disney, the customer service was absolutely outstanding and incredibly understanding
@@lanedaw811Yeah but difference is you don’t suffer from sensory overload because of your autism due to being in a small spaces with people touching you and listening to too many conversations taking place all at once
You honestly don’t understand how helpful you are. I don’t know what I’d do without your vlogs. So detailed and done so simply. I cannot wait to watch your trip vlogs x
27 days and counting till we fly!! 31 days till we get married on the paddlefish. There are 13 of us going away can’t wait… this video is so helpful I have 3 children who require das!
Congratualtions! Have THE BEST wedding xxx
Having just been to DLP and having a priority pass this seems so much more complicated! Thank you for showing the process.
Both systems have their pros and cons, maybe I should do a direct comparison video?
@@MummyOfFourDoesDisney Please Please Please! I have a child with ASD, and we are heading to DLP in the summer. We have season passes to Disneyland and use DAS religiously. I can't find where a child with autism will qualify for a priority pass according to the DLP site. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
Omg perfect timing im just starting to plan my first ever trip to disney world and was wondering how DAS worked thankyou so much ❤
I've got a question it might be silly but what's the difference between a park admission and a theme park reservation?
As an adult with ASD I'm really sad to just now be finding out about DAS. A cast member has never told me about it before. I heard about it from news that the program was changing and was like wait what? You mean this was an option for me this whole time?! Thanks for all the great info. I'm going to be signing up for this. My trips will be so much more manageable now.
Thanks for the vlog. I’m going to Disney next month. We have 30 days to go, so we’re hoping to logon today and request DAS. It’s myself, son, and daughter, and we’re meeting friends out there.
Yay! We'll look forward to meeting you x
This is invaluable - thank you so much. Will be at 30 days shortly after easter so trying to get organised. I'm nervous about getting the most out of the days in the park while also accommodating my ASD young man but i'm sure once I've done it once or twice i'll be fine, and this has really really helped. Now to binge watch your other videos!
Thanks Rhi, very helpful vlog..1st timers going in sept this year...my 14yr old will have DAS so great getting an idea how it works and how to use it well xxx
So glad it was helpful! Have THE BEST time in Disney xxx
I’m glad the process didn’t take too long! Hope the times you picked worked out with your schedule when you actually got into the park!
Great video thanks. We have used DAS but always great to see how others use it etc.
We pre booked lots of rides before but after day 1 in the park we ended up cancelling the all pre booked. The booked rides were not strategic, I mean they had you running all over the park. We booked them on the day we went into the park and used them alongside our genie+ and lightening lanes.
Hi. We’re going to Orlando for the first time at the end of May. Both of my kids age on tej spectrum, have diagnosis etc. Thank you for all tips, I’m going to apply next weekend!
I hope you guys enjoyed Soarin' Over California - it's the OG and far superior to Around the World! I can listen to the soundtrack and visualise the images, smell the scents ... I have the whole thing memorised from riding so many times in the 2000s and 2010s! The pine forest and the orange groves and the waves ... ahhhhhhh!
took me 3 hr wait.last year didnt take this long❤❤
It will be my first time applying for DAS in 2025 due to spine problem and stage 4 endometriosis
Hope it goes smoothly for you, I'm sure it will x
@@MummyOfFourDoesDisney thank you
Because it’s fun to watch and also I might go to Disney!
We waited 3 hours!! 😢
For a Disney agent? Oh no! What time were you online? x
@@MummyOfFourDoesDisney right when they opened:) BUT we were doing Disneyland so maybe that was the reason! It’s worth waiting for though! The DAS saved us so many meltdowns. :) having an “invisible disability “ is so hard though. Have you experienced any pushback or had any comments made?
@lindseychild6571 this is my fear , you can't tell that my son has adhd/anxiety and I'm afraid we will get looks or workers will question it
Hi Rhi.... 🥰
Thank you so much for all this information but honestly I'm completely lost 🤦♀️. It seems a lot, I think I'll stick to DLP ☺️. Going back for our 4th trip this summer.
We are going to Disney next week and have das set up for one of our kiddos. This will be our first time at Disney in several years, first time using das. Our family wants to ride fight of passage, but our youngest (not the kiddo needing DAS) is too small. We plan on using rider switch. When we sign up for the ride with das should we include our youngest in the rider selection or no and tell the cast member when we get to the lightning lane we need to use rider switch. I don’t know how far we take our youngest with us in the lines or if she would need to scan in at all.
Can you update this? They changed it
This was so helpful. Travelling soon and been looking for this exact type of content. Can I ask a wee question though. If I male advance reservations and then on the day we either decide to go to a different park or not to ride those rises can I still use the standard das system to ride other rides?
Absolutely. You'll lose the advanced reservations if you Dom't use them, but they won't impact on the day DAS xx
Thank you so much for the reply. One final question I promise. To register in advance is it 30 days from your first park day or the last day your tickets are valid? Thanks ❤
30 days from your first park day x
trip count sown is 7 days🎉
Thank u for another great informational video. We have dlp booked for this year but WDW is the dream, hopefully in the next 2 years we can make it happen!
Hi I love your. Channel
Going to WDW in 6 days
Okay I just talk to agent and how do I know if I got a das
If there's 2 people with autism is it just the 2 people with autism that have to be there for the live chat ? Or is it all members of the party?
I have a one child with adhd/austim and one without... will DAS cover all of us?
Do they have DAS for Disney Cruise. My daughter has Autism Level 3 (severe) and selective mute. We are booked on a cruise in October, Brisbane Australia. I am getting stressed as she has never been on a plane or a ship. She will hate the noise on boarding. (I want to sneak on quietly) and then go and sit somewhere very quiet until we can get in our room. I have also emailed them to request a quiet area to meet a character.
Hi Rhi, You talk about everyone scanning in to the ride, is the magic band compulsory? Or can you scan using the app?
Thank you a great help x
You can use your park tickets or the app too x
Hi, did they question you when you did the live chat as you live in the UK ? I'm going to apply for it before we get there and i will be doing the live chat from the UK.
No they didn't, and they had my UK address on my account, so I wasn't hiding anything x
Same with me when I did it last year thank you. It's just so much less stressful if it's done before you get there and I got 4 boys. Registering when you get there is just a headache I could do without. Thanks for you reply love the videos we all watch them 😊
I’m going to subscribe to your channel. I love how you present information. Of course, your children are so very cute. I have a quick question. Do you know if you are staying at a Disney hotel and you get early entry at 8:30 am can you make your in park DAS selection as soon as you scan in or do you have to wait the park opens for everyone at 9 am? I am helping a friend plan. I don’t need to use DAS so I am not completely sure. Thank you so much for your wonderful video. I hope you had an amazing trip!
So you have 2 advanced selections and then infinite when you get in?
yes, limited by how many you can squeeze into the day x
Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. Did you find the process explaining why they can't queue stressful? I am worried that they may say my daughter wont qualify
I kept it quite simple Obviously I didn’t film that bit but I just said something like “they have autism which means they struggle with queues” and that was enough.
@@MummyOfFourDoesDisney Thanks ☺️ I'm probably over thinking it!
If you book 2 rides in advance with the video call like you showed do you have to ride those 2 rides before you can book something else at the park with the DAS.
Example. We get to the park with 2 rides Already prebooked.... 1 at 10 and the other at 11.. do we have to wait until we are on the second ride to book again with the DAS in the park?
Is there a version of Priority Card which they have in Paris? This is the one we usually would get. This DAS you're talking about seems to be more like the Easy Access card, which is slightly different. So is DAS the only option they have in the states?!
Rhi, did they ask you if you were from the US? Technically you aren't supposed to organize DAS ahead of time from the UK. I am absolutely going to try though. X
No they didn't, and my address is on my booking and Disney account x
@@MummyOfFourDoesDisney great. Thanks. X
Hi, thanks for the video, it really helps. Does anyone know if we have more than one DAS, do we have 2 pre registrations each or all together? thanks. As you mentioned we have different abilities between us and therefore would be wanting different attractions, so just wanted to check. Thanks.
For us it was 2 per party. You could ask them if you could split them maybe? Hold the party doing one set of booking and half doing the other?
Are the opening times for the DAS pass 7 days a week?
I believe so, yes x
We have a party of 15 people with multiple AKL rooms, yet there are 3 people that have the disabilities that qualify for the DAS program are all staying in one of the rooms. Two of the DAS-holders would be mother and son. I realize only 6 per DAS-holder is allowed.
In order to navigate this situation, are we going to have to split the reservations up into three groups to make this work? Can we do that even though they are in the same room? Sorry, first time using this system and still learning.
Personally I would split up the guests into groups of 5, with the qualifying person each having 4 people accompanying them. It doesn't matter about rooms as you could use DAS even if you stayed off site. I'd put people into groups according to attraction preferences (eg all rollercoaster lovers in one group etc) x
@@MummyOfFourDoesDisney Awesome, thank you!
Im a little confused. We go to WDW on June 15. We registered for DAS but they didn't give us an option to prebook any rides, am I missing something? Thanks.
Planning this year trip with my 14 year old daughter with autism like disability but it really seems worse than the system on Disneyland Paris were the disability card allows one to just use the "FasTrack" or disability line and not wait for slots. Since we can only schedule one ride , if it's a 1h wait line for a ride it sounds that you have to find rides or shows to fill that 1h wait right? Thanks a lot for these great vlogs
Yes, you pick your attraction then while you wait do toilets / food / parades / shops etc x
Hi Rhi, will you updating this with the new system?
Latest updates are here - ruclips.net/user/live6bztSPbjQlU?feature=share
For those of you with physical disabilities that aren't mobility related, don't stress. Under the new system, you are still elegible for DAS. Take your paperwork with you like for Tokyo and Paris for back up.
You’re 100% wrong. Disney has already said that they will not be looking at documents and that the DAS is not for mobility issues.
Where did you get your iPad keyboard case?
Do you have to be 18 and under to qualify? Or is it for adults too?
Adults and kids x
Hi! Ive just found your channel and am loving it. My daughter is 2 and has autism, we are due to go to WDW while she is 2. Will we be able to apply for DAS? How does it work if she doesnt have a park ticket because she isnt old enough? Thank you!
So glad you're loving th channel. Yes, she can still be registered for DAS.
Take a look at this from the Plan Disney team;
I am happy to inform you that your family member who is under 3 may be eligible for DAS. Even though they will not need theme park tickets to enter, children under 3 are always a Guest of Mickey! Your family member may be registered for the DAS in person at Guest Relations inside any of the theme parks, or they may choose to pre-register in advance with DAS online. If they choose the option of pre-registering, this may be done from 2-30 days before their arrival. During the registration process, the Cast Member will help them select 2 one-hour Return Times for each day they have valid theme park admission. Each day they visit a theme park they will also be able to select additional DAS Return Times, one at a time.
Thank you so so much for replying! So kind and great information. Can't wait to see the rest of the series ❤
Hi,
Leonie from the Netherlands! We have a 10 your old with autism and are going to apply for DAS. Your video was very helpful.
Just one question left, don't know if you now the answer to it. We are going with a family of 10 people (grandparents, my sister and her family, and myself with my family).
DAS is for a party of six, but we are with ten. I understand we cannot ride the attractions all together. But is it possible to have all 10 in the same party but only book and scan in for six people?
Currently, the maximum number of Guests you can have registered on one DAS account is six (the Guest with a disability and five additional Guests) unfortunately x
Hi Rhi, love your DAS video I am very worried about booking this for the first time, having used DLP for so long and this really helps. Just one thing, I am not sure if I missed it in the vlog, is every ride bookable for pre registered DAS reservations? I am sure the Tron virtual queue isn’t included but unsure of any of the other big rides are exempt too? I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks xx
I covered how it works for Tron in todays new Magic Kingdom vlog xx
@@MummyOfFourDoesDisney yes I am just watching that now, strangely 😂but does DAS pre booked work for all of the other rides or are there other exceptions? Thanks
Does Aniexy/Aniexy attack as a disability? I get triggered by being in large crowds for a long amount of time with limited space
You should have a diagnosis from a doctor.
Thank you for this vlog.
We don't go until Aug 25..
I have 2 people in my party of 6 that qualify for das... both Autistic one Autistic & adhd.
Can the other 4 of us be on both their das ?
Ones a child not wanting to do roller coasters ones an adult wanting to do roller coasters...
What sun cream do you recommend?
I like the Soltan 8 hour from Boots x
Thanks for the helpful vlog I have a question, if I have a party of 6 and we are are all registered on my disney experience under my daughter who has DAS can 2 members go home half way through the day and the other 4 including my daughter book onto rides without them? Meaning we don't need all six members to book rides if some members arnt present as long as the DAS member is present! Sorry hope you get what I mean 😮 thankyou
As long as the person with DAS rides, it doesn't matter if the other leave the park. My husband often wanders off and doesn't ride with us x

Hi! Love this video! I’m about to ask something personal. I understand Zara got her diagnosis and she’s younger, did you go private in the uk or was it pushing for the doctors to get her through system? The reason I ask is I believe my daughter is autistic and potentially add. But I’m not getting far in anyone taking her seriously and I didn’t know if it was worth the fee of going private? We’re going Disney September 2025 and I’m worried how she will handle everything as she’s a Covid baby and hates big crowds. Becomes very overwhelmed. If you can answer I would highly appreciate it however I do understand it’s very personal and take no judgment if you prefer not to answer. Thanks x
I’ve talked about autism and the diagnosis process we went through for each child over on my main channel Mummy Of Four UK. Take a look at the autism playlist - mummyoffour.com/autism
Sorry, that was an autism on the blog link, here is the playlist - ruclips.net/p/PLP7SPoJ1ortsTOlUwQT_szdkMv3MlEXI6&si=vpVuJ11YwFyJB54k
We are going for 2 weeks and 10 park days. Do you pre register at 30 days of your first park day or do you need to wait until 30 days before the last park day? Hope that makes sense 😅
30 days from your first park day, you can do 7 days of pre selects, then you need to go back in chat to do final 3 days of pre selects.
@@jennan9405 perfect, thank you so much!
Cute kids
