A DAS Defenders letter to Disney executives and a Change.org petition call on Disneyland to reverse recent updates to its Disability Access Service policy.

A group representing the disabled community is urging Disneyland and Disney World to reconsider recent “discriminatory” changes to the Disability Access Service program that exclude people with a wide array of disabilities.
“Historically, Disney has been a symbol of inclusion, acceptance and joy for disabled individuals who often face discrimination, lack of access and challenges in managing complex conditions,” according to the DAS Defenders letter. “However, with these recent changes, Disney has eroded that legacy by rolling back accommodations that have existed for years, leaving many disabled people feeling abandoned.
“Punishing disabled individuals for the actions of able-bodied individuals who abuse the system is not a solution,” according to the DAS Defenders letter. “These changes fail to adequately address abuse. People who abuse the system will still lie. This only punishes the disabled people who truly relied on DAS and will not be able to attend the parks at all without it.”
