I don’t think anyone is advocating for status quo.
Disney only recognizing autism as a disability worthy of DAS is extreme.
Disney rolling this out without all the details on how it was going to work was a mistake.
I’ll go back to my earlier question; we do t know what “return to queue” encompasses yet - right? (Assuming it’s not the same as RS) I’m hopeful I’ll go “oh, that makes sense” but not expecting it. It does seem odd that Disney has announced this change without all the details. If nothing else it...
My son’s first trip was at 18 months. That he was under 42” tall was a temporary situation. While your son/daughter will (likely) some day be taller than 42” my son will have his disability for his entire life. Also, DAS was not only used on rides with height restrictions.
We rarely do TS, and practically never a “nighttime spectacular”. Let’s go with your numbers though - does it seem reasonable that a family with disabilities is now expected to spend 65% of their vacation apart?
I had to Google when the “Express Transportation Option” was offered (anyone remember that?) to figure out when I last saw a show at WDW. We went to Lion King in 2017. On our last trip in March we spent, maybe, thirty minutes shopping (to get my son ears). Oh, I guess we did use bathrooms...
This is my concern - we’re also a family of three. The return to queue option sounds like Disney no longer a family vacation. It’s my wife and son together, and me by myself.
There is nothing official on how “return to queue” will work, right? Doesn’t it seem odd they announced without having the full plan ready?
I’ve been to WDW every other year my whole life, and since 2015 DLR on opposite years. In the last twelve months we did DLP, DLR, and WDW.
Without DAS (or...
I did Flyover Chicago (a Soarin’ knockoff) last weekend. Granted, it’s twice as long, but the film put both versions to shame (and I love over California)
I’ve never looked into going to Universal; Disneyland Paris requires that up apply for a “priority card” in advance. I’d welcome the change. Having to justify my son’s disability at the start of each trip is no fun, and stresses him out (and we have a vastly different experience each time)...
