The problem is Disney is offering a paid service in Genie+ and those who purchase it aren't getting what they paid for when DAS is taking the majority of availability. The point in the changes is to lower the DAS to open more availability for Genie+ users. Abuse is not quite the right word for...

It's not 50-70% of all ride capacity. It's 50-70% of LL capacity. They are not equal.

It's possible that happens but we also don't know how the return to line is going to work.

The majority of other parks limit the party size to 4 for those with disabilities. The fact that Disney let everyone in the group to join the DAS guest goes above and beyond whats necessary

They can't. Ride capacity is a set number per hour. You can't just increase LL as then nobody in standby would be able to ride anything.

Standby is going to increase a lot. I could a 60 minute wait becoming 90 minutes easy. IMO that's not they are trying to fix. The point of the changes is to open up more availability for those who purchase Genie+.

By taking some DAS users out of the LL queue it opens up more availability for Genie+ users. Then more attractions wouldn't run out as often

That's part of it but they also want to make those who buy Genie+ be able to get more out it. There are people that use DAS the probably don't need it that could use a wheelchair or scooter instead

Not with the changes coming for DAS. Now with a limit of 4 guests and no pre books DAS is less attractive for those who don't need it. As posted earlier by another poster, prior to the new changes DAS had better benefits than Genie+ and was free.

IMO what they need to do is be like most other parks and raise the price of Genie+ to the point that most people don't buy it.

Not directly it doesn't take capacity. You can't tell me if they cut that DAS number down they won't add it to Genie+ capacity. I worded it poorly but was trying to respond to your argument on how do people know what the minimum accommodations for those with disabilities are.

In general no it doesn't but at other parks there isn't any where near the amount of people using boarding passes compared to Disney. It doesn't impact operations as much. For Disneys sake it is having a major impact on Genie+ capacity. When DAS is taking up 70% of LL capacity its a problem.

It's both.

It doesn't cause the other difference is at those parks including Universal, the majority of guests understand waiting in long lines is part of going.

The difference is the demand for it isn't as high compared to Disney due to there being no benefits to having it. At most other parks having a skip the line pass isn't a must as it's expensive and limited. Look at how much DAS usage has risen since Genie+ started.
