hi hello hey, we’ve got a spicy story to share!

After our week enjoying the NOAH conference (that we shared in our last episode), a group of us decided to spend a day in Disneyland. Unfortunately, our magical day immediately turned sour as changes in Disney’s Disability Access Services (DAS) Pass made it almost impossible for us to get accommodations.

We (Case + Cass) have relied on the DAS Pass before, even getting it when we went to Disney World back in 2021 and at 2022’s NOAH conference in Orlando. Despite the tremendous benefits this accommodation provided for people with a wide range of disabilities, many people tried to abuse it. To combat this, Disney aggressively tightened the qualifications to receive a DAS… excluding a large population of people with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses.

In this episode, we carefully detail what the DAS was and how we used to get it. Then, we share our demoralizing, discriminatory experience attempting to receive accommodations after the new restrictions.
