As we get closer to the July 11th phased reopening of the Walt Disney World theme parks, we’re getting bits and pieces of information about what park operations will look like when they reopen. For an FAQ about the theme parks, check out our post here.
One unanswered question that remained was the question of how the Disability Access Service (DAS) would function. While it seems obvious that it would continue, Disney has already said that the portions of the queue that would normally be reserved for FastPass+ (and by the Disability Access Service) would be utilized to promote social distancing.
In a new email from the Guest Experience Service team to twitter user @amy_schinner (via @carlyewisel), a Cast Member confirmed that the DAS is currently planned to continue at this time.
Here’s the text of the email:
We appreciate you reaching out in preparation for your family’s future visit.
As of now, the process for Guests utilizing Disability Access Service (DAS) will not change. You will go to the Attraction and receive a return time, same as always. You will then be directed to an alternate entrance upon returning to the Attraction to ride it.
Disney is also looking at using a virtual queue system for more of their attractions than they have in the past. It’s unclear how the DAS would operate with the virtual queue system.
As always, keep checking back with us here at BlogMickey.com for the latest Disney Parks news and photos. We’ll continue to bring you news and photos, where possible, through the Disney Parks closure due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) and will resume our normal coverage once the parks reopen to guests on July 11th!
