Is there such a wdw pass as a half a day pass for a chronically ill disabled person who cannot do past 1:00pm at wdw?

Hello: My adult daughter is on the autism spectrum plus has severe migraine headaches by the afternoon each day. She awakes with no migraine and has a good window until about 1:00p.m. Then has to go to bed in a dark room. Is there some sort of half day wdw pass to the parks.
 
No, generally speaking there is only the regular ticket which allows entry at any point during regular operating hours. However most people do not do the parks from open-to-close, plus hours vary, so it's hard to call it a "full day" pass though I guess that's what it is. Once in the park there is really no way for WDW to limit how long a person stays so a half-day morning pass couldn't logistically be enforced.

Some conferences have a late-entry ticket, but it doesn't sound like that would even be helpful.

The more days you visit the less expensive the ticket is per day when calculating a per-day price. With a 10-day ticket in August/September that could be as low as $60-$63 per day, which is less than half the cost of a 1-day ticket on most dates. So if you can manage a longer vacation, you can save on the ticket cost in that sense.
 
The longer stay is the best option. When DS could only do half days, and sometimes no day at all I was booking our trips for 10-12 days. The per day cost was much lower ticket wise and it reduced the pressure we would have felt to stay in the parks. We had the room all set with food & drinks should we not be able to leave the room (I could not leave him in room alone to go get food). It was worth saving for the hotel to have a trip with less stress and lots of time built in for medical issues.
 

Okay thanks everyone. I didn't think that the longer stay still would save any money like it did in years past with all price increases and the surge pricing.
 
Is there any way you could go until 1PM, come back to the room and let her rest for several hours, then go back in the evening for several hours after it is dark?
As she goes through her day she develops a migraine, by 1:00 pm she has a migraine and has to go to bed til, it doesn't usually get better till the next day. Then the process starts all over again. Thanks.
 
With some minor exceptions for people attending conferences, Disney does not offer delayed admission tickets, either.

Offering”morning only” passes presents some logistical challenges, a major one being how to clear the parks of the presumably few users. Clearing day users when there is a hard ticket evening event is a bit more vist efficient for Disney, in terms of stadf needed for enforcemen.
 
Won't help the OP, hard ticketed events normally allow park entry at 4p. That's the closest thing to a part day pass available to the general public.

A morning only pass would easy to administer. A $200 charge. The overage gets refunded if you tap out before the deadline.
