This is not a court of law. I have no burden to prove anything. This is a public square where anyone can express their opinions freely, and others can take from it what they wish. All signs point to the current system not working. If you want to stick your fingers in your ears and shout “LA LA...

The goalposts have not been moved an inch. This has been the argument all along. That’s why this discussion is taking place in the G+ thread, because the problem (or at least one of many) plaguing WDW right now is that DAS is eating too much into ride capacity, which is causing operational...

Nobody has, or needs to provide, that specific number. You’re trying to make your claim unfalsifiable by asking a question nobody could possibly have the answer to. It’s been documented in court that disabled guests and their parties consume a disproportionate percentage of ride capacity...

@Splash4eva will not be satisfied until you provide an exhaustive list of names of every individual who has ever lied on their DAS application, with video evidence and a note from a doctor affirming that they do not require any accommodations. Short of that, we must assume that everything is...

I believe that Disney truly intends to invest more heavily in the parks in the coming years. However, I don’t have faith that those plans will actually come to fruition. All it takes is a recession or pandemic or rainstorm for them to throw their hands up and insist that they need to adjust...

That’s certainly true, but DAS isn’t even targeted at guests with mobility issues. It’s specifically meant as an accommodation for those who can’t wait in line. IIUC, mobility issues alone would not qualify someone for DAS, as the guest would be expected to wait in the queue on a scooter. But...

Right, but this was 30% for the most popular rides, which presumably would be the ones they’d be waiting in virtually. So while the typical guest would spend some of their time in popular queues and the rest of their time elsewhere (e.g., less popular queues, shopping, dining, restrooms, etc.)...

Couldn’t they just use the ETwB mirror effect to transport guests to the castle for the ride?

I think the clear explanation is that DAS is a lot more efficient because guests can wait in 2 lines at once - 1 virtually and 1 physically.

I don’t think it would do that. Standby lines generally do not move any faster than LL lines (and often move much slower). If the LL line can accommodate the touchpoint, the standby line could as well. You might get temporary buildups of guests at the queue entrance at some points (like you do...

I think this alone says it all. If we assume that disabled guests have generally the same preferences as other guests (which I think is a fair assumption), we should expect them to account for the same percentage of ride capacity under a fair system. For 3% of guests’ parties to fairly consume...

They could perhaps have a carve out for literal walk-ons (like shows and flat rides with open seats), but not for short waits, since you’d still be increasing the wait times for people in line (an extra 1 min in a short line vs an extra 1 min in a long line both consume 1 min of your time) You...

I feel like they’re keeping the park pass system around in this form not to limit guests, but to anticipate how many there will be. APs are being used as a proxy for overall attendance. They’re forcing a subset of customers to disclose their plans ahead of time so they can plan accordingly, even...

There are two problems here that share a single solution: (a) people without a valid disability using DAS to obtain an advantage over other guests (i.e. by abusing the system), (b) people with a valid disability using DAS to obtain an advantage over other guests (i.e. by using the system the way...

Particularly if they expect it to part

The complexity with Genie+ is not just about the mechanics of how it works. It’s about the strategy. If you don’t go to WDW often and don’t spend hours researching in advance, you have no way of knowing which LLs run out when. So even if you’re willing to spend the money to reduce your wait...

I can see them building the Dinoland replacement in phases, with Dinosaur going down only after a replacement for PW opens. Because, yea, DAK really can't afford to close any more rides right now (beyond TS)

Eh, she’s not the biggest daredevil and I think the airplane transition in particular may rattle her a bit. I’ll show her a video beforehand so she at least knows what to expect

They aren’t changing Imagination, SSE, or WoL anytime soon. Disney can’t wait to finally wipe their hands clean of this entire Epcot overhaul fiasco. Dinoland, Beyond Big Thunder, and Animation Courtyard are now ahead of anything in Epcot in the queue for attention (not including TT which has a...

I’ll literally be in Epcot the day this changes back. I’ve never ridden SoC. I’m very disappointed. Also, I’m worried my almost-4yo will be scared by some of the transitions in SatW
