Disney Expands Disability Access Service (DAS) Offerings

It’s been a while since we shared good news about Disney’s Disability Access Service (DAS), but we have good news today!

Some of the most popular character meet-and-greets now offer DAS access on both regular park days and party events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP) and Jollywood. When the DAS program was overhauled, most character meet-and-greets were removed from it. Mickey has always been completely accessible at all four parks, and now some others are too.

Which Characters Can You See Daily With a DAS Return Time?

A few spots have been added at some of the parks during daily operations.

Magic Kingdom

• Mickey Mouse at Town Square Theatre
• Ariel at her Grotto
• Princesses at Princess Fairytale Hall

Epcot

• Beloved Disney Pals (typically Mickey, Minnie, Goofy) at Mickey & Friends

Hollywood Studios

• Mickey and Minnie at Red Carpet Dreams
• Olaf at Celebrity Spotlight

Animal Kingdom

• Mickey and Minnie at Adventurers Outpost

Characters with DAS Return Times at MVMCP & Jollywood!

In previous years, only Mickey and Minnie and Jack Skellington were available with a DAS return time at MVMCP, and last year Santa Stitch had an alternative access at Jollywood.

At this year’s opening night of MVMCP, we noticed Winnie the Pooh and Friends moved to the Silly Pete Side Show in Storyland Circus. Not only does that provide a lovely holiday backdrop, but the infrastructure for a DAS return time too!

MVMCP characters with alternative access and return times

• Mickey and Minnie- Town Square Theater
• Jack Skellington and Sally- Town Square Theater
• Winnie the Pooh and Friends- Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Storybook Circus
• Frozen’s Anna and Elsa- Princess Fairytale Hall
• Royal Couples- Princess Fairytale Hall

A Note: Unfortunately, during the regular park operating hours, Pete’s Silly Sideshow does not have alternative access for Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy. They move things around for party night to create the access.

Hopefully this continues to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party next year too!
