Overview
- Disney's updated Disability Access Service (DAS) now exclusively serves guests with developmental disabilities like autism, excluding those with other medical conditions.
- The changes, effective from May 20 at Disney World and June 18 at Disneyland, have led to accusations of discrimination against individuals with physical disabilities.
- Critics argue the new policy unfairly targets genuine disabled guests by trying to curb abuse from those faking disabilities to skip lines.
- Disney insists on its commitment to inclusivity, despite the outcry, and plans to enhance other guest support services.
- The disability community expresses disappointment and feels less welcome, fearing the changes could negatively impact their experience at Disney parks.
