If you have someone in your party that has a disability and cannot wait in long lines, Disney has a system called DAS, also known as Disability Access Service card. Once you arrive through the gates of Magic Kingdom, you will proceed to Main Street. The City Hall building is where guest relations is located. They will scan your magic band of the person with a disability as well as an allotted number in the party with them to sign up for the DAS system. If you do not have a magic band, they will provide a paper ticket. Everyone in your party that wants to be on the pass has to be present at the same time in order to be given the DAS pass. Once this is completed, you can use your DAS pass for one ride at a time where the cast member at the ride will provide a return time. It is the time you can go through the FastPass line for less of a wait time. When it becomes available, you can access Lightning Lane through the Disney Genie+ app to cut the wait time.
Please note, Disney Genie is a free planning service app that maximizes your Disney experience offering an itinerary for your Disney trip and premieres in the Fall of 2021. Disney’s Genie+, however, is a paid service that encompasses the replaced FastPass+ system of bypassing lines with the new Lightning Lane. So instead of heading to the FastPass line entrance, you would be headed to the Lightning Lane entrance.

Epcot is possibly the best theme park at Walt Disney World to meet the characters. This is mostly due to the fact that the large size of the park means guests have a greater area to disperse in. The result is some of the more pleasant character interactions to be found at Walt Disney World. Character Meet and Greets can be found in the following locations:
Much like the Magic Kingdom, in the morning you can find characters among the Leave a Legacy sculptures at the Epcot entrance plaza. Since the early morning is when most attractions have the shortest lines, you might postpone meeting the characters until later in the day.
Located between Innoventions and Club Cool, Character Connection is a great place to meet your favorite Disney pals. From one line, which is indoors and therefore air-conditioned, you’ll be able to meet multiple characters at the same time. Usually available for autographs are Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, and Donald Duck.
Throughout the day the characters can be found all around the World Showcase. In Mexico, Donald Duck, Jose Carioca, and Panchito are available for autographs. Mulan and Mushu from Disney’s Mulan can be found in China. Snow White, Dopey, and Grumpy from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or Pinocchio sign autographs in Germany. Aladdin and Jasmine can be found in Morocco. In France, you’ll find Sleeping Beauty and Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland often wander around in the United Kingdom. If you want to visit the characters then try to get to World Showcase by the early afternoon for the shortest lines.

If you have someone in your party that has a disability and cannot wait in long lines, Disney has a system called DAS, also known as Disability Access Service card. Once you arrive through the gates of Animal Kingdom, you will proceed to the Guest Relations lobby located at the entrance of the park. They will scan your magic band of the person with a disability as well as an allotted number in the party with them to sign up for the DAS system. If you do not have a magic band, they will provide a paper ticket. Everyone in your party that wants to be on the pass has to be present at the same time in order to be given the DAS pass. Once this is completed, you can use your DAS pass for one ride at a time where the cast member at the ride will provide a return time. When it becomes available, you can access Lightning Lane through the Disney Genie+ app to cut the wait time.
