One has to think those vocally dismissive toward these changes (before even seeing how they work out) have been taking advantage of the system and know, deep down, that they don’t need to skip lines. So the anger comes from the realization that they may have to wait in line like the rest of us. You are welcome to go through the stages of grief though perhaps not here.
News flash: no one LIKES that outdoor queue at TRON in July. But rational people understand it’s part of a summer theme park trip in Florida. We go in summer because the trade off (now) is light crowds and the guarantee that it’ll be warm enough to swim in the outstanding Disney pools (one of the few areas where Disney hotels still excel).
If your only impediment is “Florida is hot and stormy in the summer,” you can just go in January and be happy.
DAS is for those with disabilities rendering them unable to wait in line any time of year. And I have full faith that those individuals and their immediate families know who they are and, further, that Disney will continue accommodating them as they’ve always excelled at accommodating the disabled (certainly better than competitors).
When my kids whine that they are hot, we get ice water (free unlike some theme parks…) and head to an air conditioned ride next. Pool break every afternoon. There are simple, common sense modifications that we make that, for some reason, others cannot?
DAS is for individuals for whom simpler accommodations do not suffice. It’s just like special education in schools. Every child with special needs does not immediately get a 1-to-1 teacher even though that might make things easier. You start with smaller accommodations, increase if necessary, and sunset when no longer necessary. Some kids do get 1-to-1 support and they get it. Just like those who actually need DAS will get it. Others may just need a cup of ice water.
