What better way to celebrate the start of a marriage than with an unforgettable honeymoon in a dream location? But with so many exquisite island destinations to choose from, it can be difficult for honeymooners to decide which is the best for a romantic getaway. On average, couples spend around $5,000 on their honeymoon, so they’ll want to make sure they get the most value for money.
Disney Has Revamped Its Accessibility Services and Line-Skipping Policy Due to Misuse
09.04.2024 - 17:01 / travelandleisure.com
Disney just announced some major changes to its Disability Access Service (DAS) and unveiled new planning resources to help guests with disabilities prepare for a magical vacation.
On Tuesday, Disney updated its Accessibility Planning Guide and Recommendations for Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort with a variety of tools for guests to use when planning their next Disney trip. The new-and-improved guide provides greater clarity about the types of accessibility options (and which guests they were created for), with helpful tips like quiet locations where guests can take a break, a list of companion restrooms, guidelines for service animals, transportation around the resort, sensory details for various experiences, and more.
“Disney is dedicated to providing a great experience for all guests, including those with disabilities, which is why we are so committed to delivering a wide range of innovative support services aimed at helping our guests with disabilities have a wonderful time when visiting our theme parks,” a spokesperson for Walt Disney World Resort said in a statement to Travel + Leisure.

The DAS revamp also comes the goal to manage the misuse of the line-skipping program and ensure that the guests it is intended for can access it. Effective May 20 at Walt Disney World and June 18 at Disneyland, DAS enrollment for the program will extend to last 120 days instead of 60, and DAS party size will be limited to include only immediate family members, or no more than four guests.
DAS works by providing those enrolled in the program a return time for attractions, eliminating the need for those those guests and their parties to wait in the standby queue. The return time typically equals the current wait time for the attraction so guests can wait elsewhere and return to enter the attraction via the Lightning Lane at the assigned time. Disney reported to T+L that DAS use has more than tripled over the last five years.
Disney will also be adding more trained cast members (in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance’s health professionals) to help guests understand the best tools and accommodations for their needs while also making sure that only the guests for whom those accommodations were intended receive them.
