Today is the LAST Day for DAS Pre-selections in Disney

If you have been holding off on registering for DAS or if you are already registered and wish to make pre-selections, you definitely want to hurry and get it in before the day is out. Today is the LAST day for DAS pre-selections (as we currently know them).

Changes to DAS

Disney graciously allows Guests who cannot wait in a physical queue the opportunity to apply for the Disability Access Service (DAS). However, it is no secret that Disney is launching BIG changes to DAS. These changes go into effect on May 20, 2024.

While a lot is still unknown pertaining to DAS, we do know a few things for certain. For example, DAS access to attractions will only be extended to the registered Guest plus 4 accompanying party members (with exceptions only for large families).

Then, of course, there is a lot that is still unknown about what DAS will be like after today. Disney’s website states it is “intended to accommodate only those Guests who, due to a developmental disability like autism or similar, are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period of time.” Guests will begin learning more about this tomorrow.

Pre-selections

We do know that TODAY (May 19) is the last day to make DAS Pre Selections as we currently know them. Today, a Cast Member confirmed this in the DAS chat.

The Cast Member stated “Today is the last day to make preselections and you are only able to book 2-30 days in advance. So 30 days from today would be June 18.”

This means that June 18 is the final day for preselections as DAS users currently know them. So, if you are traveling between now and June 18, try to get in and make your preselections if you haven’t and you wish to use the service.

What’s Next for Preselections

Although today is the last day for registered DAS users to book DAS preselections as we currently know them, they may not be vanishing completely. Disney initially indicated Advanced pre-arrival selections will no longer be a default offering to every DAS user.

However, perhaps they will be available on a case-by-case basis. Guests will know more after tomorrow. Right now we just know today is the last day as we currently know it.

Hopefully, the new system will cut down on abuse of the system. And, hopefully, the new system will not block anyone who truly needs the accommodation.

If you are a DAS user with a trip booked, and you are traveling by June 18, remember to make your preselects before the system closes tonight.

Will these changes impact you? Let us know in the comments. And be sure to share (quickly) with any of your friends and family who have a trip coming in the next 30 days and use DAS so they can still make preselections.
