I misunderstood and thought that if someone had to leave the line, once they returned, they would would walk through the LL to meet up with their group and not wait in the LL until they met up with their group at the merge point. Thank you for clarifying.
Which is why I suggested that if a whole party leaves, they can issue an LRT (or maybe like you said, just get back in line). But if you have to use the restroom or change a diaper 10 mins into the line, and someone in your party is still in line, you go back to them later. RTQ wouldn't just let you take lightning lane unrestricted; it would presume you have a party to join. They can make it so you only move forward when everyone is together, otherwise they take your pass and send you back.
You can already do that today
It's not about people's feelings, it's about equalizing the experience to all guests. People can react however they want.
if you're gonna do all that why not just buy G+? Heck with how much all of that would cost might as well hire a VIP Guest tour and get all those benefits.
So how does one get on rides, especially the newer ones, without Genie+?
Yes, but I think more individuals might use the RTQ option, because it’s open to everyone. Also, it could be a more disruptive option, because it might involve normalizing the idea of people moving around and pushing past others in line. Even if they’re going backwards and not forwards - you have a lot of people in a cramped space. I think it is in everyone’s best interest if the norm is to stand still. I feel like you just don’t want a lot of movement when people are crammed shoulder to shoulder.
Yes, I have no idea how that’s supposed to work and assume it involves people pushing their way out of line. I just don’t see any other way in many of the lines.
It's the exact same population of potential abusers, though. Just like with hypothetical AQR abuse, DAS prior to May 20 was available to anyone who claimed to need it. AQR will be abused far less because there's far less to gain, and it's going to be inconvenient even in the best of circumstances. AQR doesn't let you and your family of six skip every standby line plus get two prebooked FastPasses every day of your trip just by telling someone over video chat that you have "bathroom issues".
I welcome anyone to see how many times they can get away with that.
If someone leaves after the merge, they should have a way to return after it as well. Having to repeat the same wait would be ridiculous.
I think it’s more the people from whatever that health company is that’s the rude ones. But I’m sure that tensions are high right now with everyone.
There's nothing about AQR that requires an emergency though. They are recommending this as the accommodation, for ex, for autistic people who do not qualify for DAS. Say an autistic child is denied (it's happened in this new system). The caregivers aren't likely to wait until their child is in crisis before leaving a queue, especially if sensory issues are a trigger for their child. Some may try and see how far they can push it. Others will leave as soon as they can to not risk a crisis.
The same way they did for decades?
I don't care how high tensions are running. Rudeness from medical professionals or CMs is no more acceptable than it is from applying guests.
If reports are to be seen as having any validity at all, those with sensory issues ans part of their disability are being denied DAS and told just to get noise cancelling headphones and such.
That would be huge. We get by now and don’t have issues returning to our party. Overall people are really nice about getting back to family.
The new DAS rules for the interviews went into effect on May 20th. Those who did the video chat before May 20th and were approved were grandfathered in with the old rules. We won't see changes at WDW until June 19th or 20th.
Literally exactly this was said to cast during the training on this new system. And if it's a party of 3 with 1 adult and 2 kids, it's probably going to get what it already is, talk to the CM's. If that hypothetical party of 2 or 3 need to go, either the CM will probably figure out how to get them back into at least the lightning lane upon their return or if they need to leave at the exit before getting on then probably just back door them. Those things already happen for parties like that most of the time. It's not a guarantee, but its already a reasonable thing to ask for in an emergency. Just communicate nicely. And if the CM says no in that situation, go complain nicely to guest relations and probably get a LL out of it.
