New Disability Access Service System Requires Guests to Agree Not to File Class Action Lawsuits
Walt Disney World’s recently launched Disability Access Service (DAS) system is drawing attention to a controversial clause within its terms and conditions. The new process, which requires guests to participate in a live video chat with a Cast Member to assess eligibility, it also includes a requirement for users to waive their right to participate in class action lawsuits related to the service.
“I understand that after an individualized decision regarding my personal circumstances I may be offered DAS, alternative accommodations, or no accommodations at all. I agree that any lawsuit I may file, or participate in, challenging this decision, the individualized discussion, or the overall process itself, shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in a purported class, consolidated or representative action or proceeding.”
This provision has sparked concerns among some disability advocates and legal experts, who argue that it limits the rights of individuals with disabilities seeking legal recourse if they encounter issues with the DAS system. By requiring users to forego class action lawsuits, Disney effectively prevents them from joining together to pursue legal claims, potentially making it more difficult for individuals to hold the company accountable.
While Disney has not publicly addressed the concerns surrounding the class action waiver, it remains a point of contention for some who see it as a potential barrier to fair and accessible service for guests with disabilities. As the new DAS system continues to roll out, it remains to be seen how this clause will impact user experiences and potential legal challenges in the future.

Disney Shares Inside Look at NEW ‘Peter Pan’ Ride at Fantasy Springs
Get ready to soar through the skies of Never Land on the new Peter Pan ride! Tokyo DisneySea’s Fantasy Springs opens its gates on June 6, 2024, and with it comes the highly anticipated Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure.
Disney Imagineers have been busy crafting a revolutionary ride system that will whisk you on a magical flight. This innovative experience combines cutting-edge technology with stunning animation, created in collaboration with Walt Disney Animation Studios. Prepare to be seamlessly blended with the ride vehicle motion, show elements, and a groundbreaking projection system that will bring Never Land to life like never before!
On Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure, you’re invited to join Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and the Lost Kids in a daring quest to rescue John from the clutches of Captain Hook and his band of pirates. Aboard a boat sprinkled with pixie dust by Tinker Bell, you’ll soar into the sky and encounter iconic scenes and characters from the beloved Disney Animation film “Peter Pan,” including Wendy, Michael, the mischievous mermaids, and even Captain Hook’s formidable ship, the Jolly Roger.
Imagineers explored various ride systems, ultimately settling on a motion base to create the illusion of soaring through the air. This innovative approach, combined with meticulous attention to detail, resulted in a full six degrees of freedom motion base, a turntable and track system that delivers an unparalleled sense of flight and immersion.
The groundbreaking solid state projection system allows a single lens to create stunning 3D effects. This, coupled with meticulous testing and integration of practical sets, ensured a seamless blend of physical and digital elements, enhancing the overall immersive experience.
The magic of the new “Peter Pan” themed attraction is a testament to the collaborative spirit and ingenuity of our Imagineers and Disney Animation artists. This attraction has some of the highest levels of integration between show elements, custom animation and ride dynamics, creating an experience that resonates with guests.
We’re ready to pack our bags and head to Tokyo Disney! What about you?
