Now, if my wife no longer qualifies for DAS (wheelchair bound, MS, heat intolerance, chronic pain, Trigeminal Neuralgia, PTSD, legally blind, etc...) and we don't purchase G+/ILL then we will wait longer than those in the standby line for many rides. This past December we had to wait 15 extra...

I was directed to him after going to Guest Relations. He wasn't very understanding. He didn't appreciate my (not abusive) persistence and even intimated that he could have me removed. Come to think it, I've had a few frustrating days at WDW. Oh well. The good outweighs the bad.

My late Mother took a foldable tripod seat before she had to use a walker. MK allowed the seat in but DHS didn't. The Head of Security told me it was up to his discretion and he wouldn't allow my Mother to use it in his park. So I rented her a scooter for the rest of our vacation. If you take...

It's not just at Disney. And of course, the world is full of wonderful people. But it only takes one to mess up your day. We had a chair thrown at us at the tables outside of the Plaza Ice Cream Shop. All the tables were full so I asked my wife and daughter to wait under the shade of the...

Do many of you know how hard and unwelcoming the world is for a wheelchair user? Curbs can be an insurmountable obstacle. Tight switchbacks are hard to navigate. Stairs, forget it. Steep inclines are a nightmare. And able bodied people can be the biggest problem with navigating the environment...

Will TBA has a wheelchair accessible line? To ride SM we would be in the standby queue until the stairs and then we'd be lead by a CM through the exit to the unloading side where we would wait until the CMs were ready for us. Same with BTRR. Enter through the exit. Of course we haven't been...

The lack of clear language is what has really made me angry. We need to know what to expect so I can mitigate any problems that will arise.

I don't think I know what rider switch is then. Someone waits with the person that isn't riding. Then the one that waited rides by entering the LL queue. It requires someone not riding in your party. Are you proposing that I ride with my daughter while my wife waits outside and then I ride with...

I'll try. Thanks!

Rider switch won't work for my party. I have to pick up my wife from her wheelchair and place her into the ride car for those rides that don't have a wheelchair car. So she doesn't ride if I'm not there. For the line leave/return "accomodation", I have to leave with her because she is legally...

Easy Buddy. I am one of those DVCers. Purchased a loaded contract at the Boardwalk in 2014. I've been 14 times to WDW. All with my 100% disabled veteran wife. She's in a wheelchair and suffers from MS due to her service to this country. Pain, anxiety, and shame haunt her while her disease robs...

How many abusers are going to actually pay for G+? These are people who don't want to pay which is why there was an increase in DAS usage at the same time G+ was implemented. I imagine that there will be slightly more G+ usage, people will have fights in the standby lines with "leave and...

I want more clarity on leaving and returning to the standby line. Fist fights are going to occur. People are not cool with moving out of the way now. Hell, they lose their shizzle over disabled people "cutting" in line with DAS or getting to board a bus first. I emailed...

My wife is wheelchair bound. I have to pick her up and put her on most of the rides. So if she has to leave and me and my daughter have to carry on then my wife can't ride. How is that a solution?

When do we get a Spin and Marty ride?

There is no way the standby queue can accomodate two wheelchairs or ECVs having to pass each other to let one user leave. Those lines are no that wide. What a dumb idea.

From the pictures this looks like an efficiency upgrade. I have a lot of experience with the old procedure and each driver did it a little different. From driving the ecv/wheelchair into position to securing the hooks and then tightening the belts it could take a long time. Now the passenger...

This. Someone's disability is no one else's business. Being disabled, even slightly, is no fun! My wife is a 100% Total and Permanent Disabled Veteran and wheelchair bound due to her service connected injuries. I never realized how difficult it is to maneuver through this world in a wheelchair...

Who's obsessed with whom?

Maybe something happened with a third party guide that has resulted in legal action against Disney that we don't know about yet? Maybe Disney's legal team reviewed the tacit allowance of third party guides and decided that it needed to be clarified to avoid any future entanglements?
