And that's the key...it's not what the standby guest is likely to do, it's what they are able to do, if they so choose. That's why I don't think it Disney should (or even could, legally) limit DAS use the way LL is limited. As you said, it's an accommodation for the standby line, so there is no...

Not really - their argument was that if they didn't like DAS alone (the provided accommodation for the plaintiff), they could use FP+. Now they'll simply argue that if they don't like the provided accommodation, they can use LL. That they would have to pay for LL is irrelevant, in that LL is...

Yes, but it was free for everyone, just as LL is paid for everyone. FP+ was not considered an accommodation in and of itself.

I'm not sure that it would really harm them from a business perspective, other than with people who won't come back if DAS is eliminated and replaced with different accommodations.

Oh, I'm right there with you until I get my first dose of strong coffee!! 🤣

But in the example, the guest with IBS needed to leave the line 3 times, and the other 2 times they didn't need to leave the line. That would certainly indicate that they didn't need an accommodation the other 2 times. That's very different than needing the accommodation 5 times and it only...

It isn't (or at least, shouldn't be) about being "better than being allowed to use DAS for all 5"...it's about are the guests being accommodated? If they're being accommodated the 3 out of 5 times they need to be, then the accommodation works, and there is no reason to have the guest and their...

It isn't just about making the LLs move faster, which is better for those who do have DAS, it's also about making the standby lines move faster. And even if it was only a 10 minute delay per ride (which I think really underestimates the impact, based on my experience), that's well over an...

Exactly.

Some people believe they are discriminating, but so long as they are offering accommodations they are not discriminating. As has been said many times, no one is legally entitled to the accommodation of their choosing, nor should they be.

Accommodations aren't meant to be one size fits all, even though that's what DAS evolved into.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Disney did get rid of DAS...I would hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

But what you fail to acknowledge is that it wasn't just liars and fakers who didn't need it, it was all sorts of people with legitimate disabilities who can be accommodated by other means. And can we please stop pretending that families without disabilities need to be separated from their...

Exactly. Having a disability doesn't mean that one needs a DAS.

As you note, they can get their accommodation (waiting outside the line), so they don't need the DAS. DAS was being way overused by people who *might* have to leave the line rather than what it was intended for, which was people for whom the line itself exacerbated their disability. And I've...
