Disney Extends Disability Access Service (DAS) Eligibility to One Year But Keeps Controversial Screening System in Place

Walt Disney World has quietly updated its Disability Access Service (DAS) program once again, extending its eligibility period to up to one year for qualifying guests.

Just days before its official grand opening, Epic Universe has replaced one headache with another. After widespread complaints about the broken virtual queue system used during technical rehearsals for Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, Universal Orlando appears to have quietly scrapped the system — at least for now.
