Disneyland Faces Backlash Over New Disability Access Policy

Disabled guests express frustration and propose changes after recent revisions to Disneyland's Disability Access Service (DAS).

  • Disney's new DAS policy limits access to guests with developmental disabilities like autism, excluding many with physical disabilities.
  • Charisma Mangahas, a guest with Guillain-Barré syndrome, has called for an alternative solution after being denied a DAS pass.
  • Mangahas suggested an annual 'Lightning Lane' pass for disabled guests to bypass lines for a fee.
  • Other guests have reported similar denials under the new policy, leading to a petition with over 23,000 signatures demanding changes.
  • Disney has yet to respond to the growing criticism and calls for a more inclusive approach.
