Walt Disney World Resort and its affiliated parks are striking back against one of the most egregious scams ever known.
Lying about having a disability.
Guests have been known to lie about having a disability or lie about the severity of such a disability just to jump the line at the rides and attractions.
Now they face a possible lifetime ban from the theme parks.
Disney has made changes to its Disability Access Service (DAS) program. Big changes, saying “if it is determined that any of the statements a guest made in the process of obtaining DAS are not true, the guest will be permanently barred from entering the Walt Disney World Resort and the Disneyland Resort, and any previously purchased Annual Passes, Magic Key passes, tickets and other park products and services will be forfeited and not refunded."
Is it really worth it just to get on ‘It’s a small world’ or to go to the ‘Haunted Mansion’?
The new policy goes into effect on May 20 at Disney World in Orlando and on June 18 at Disneyland in California.
The DAS program will still remain and you can still enroll in it, but one of the changes being instituted by Disney is that if you enroll in the program you must attend a virtual video health meeting first. The meeting will be run by medical professionals who will determine whether or not a guest needs a DAS pass.
The news comes as Disney World is expanding the Magic Kingdom in Orlando and gearing up for a big summer.

I have two teen sons — 13 and 14 — and my husband and I have always prioritized travel and experiences over material possessions. This means we drive an older, mediocre car but spend money on nice vacations. Traveling allows us to connect outside our daily lives, and I also believe it reinforces cooperation and teamwork.
Who wants to go to the Four Seasons Resort Orlando?
The no-annual-fee Disney® Visa® Card is caught in something of a no man's land. With limited earning rates and even more limited redemption options, the card only makes sense for diehard Disney fans — and if that's you, you're probably much better off with the $49-annual-fee Disney® Premier Visa® Card.
