All Accommodations — Frequently Asked Questions

What accessibility accommodations does Disney World offer beyond DAS?

Disney World offers a wide range of accommodations: Rider Switch (for guests with children who cannot ride), Return to Queue (step out and return), wheelchair-accessible queues and vehicles, ECVs for mobility challenges, assistive listening devices, video captioning, handheld captioning, reflective captioning, audio description wands, sign language interpretation (available at select shows on specific days), Braille guidebooks, quiet break locations, companion restrooms, service animal relief areas, and allergy-friendly dining menus.

What should I do if my DAS application is denied?

If DAS is not approved, ask the Guest Relations Cast Member to explain which accommodations are available for your specific situation. Many needs can be addressed through Return to Queue, Rider Switch, accessible queues, or other services. You can also ask to speak with a supervisor. Remember that DAS eligibility is determined individually, and a denial does not mean no accommodations are available.

Where can I pick up accessibility devices like assistive listening units?

Assistive listening devices, handheld captioning units, and audio description wands are available for a refundable deposit at Guest Relations at each park entrance. You can reserve them in advance through the My Disney Experience app.
