I just don’t think it should be an extra expense. For me, sure it would be no problem, but some people are on high deductible plans or don’t have health insurance. I’d hope most could get paperwork done without a fee, but again, we live in a country where healthcare isn’t free and everyone...

I’m honestly not sure. I don’t think there is a perfect system because there will be negatives to any of them. I’ve already said what I think about the documentation negatives, but I also realize right now a lot of people are being excluded that maybe shouldn’t be.

And it might be that lawsuit against the others that is preventing them from going to documentation route. I mean maybe the lawsuit says it’s fine and Disney chooses to go that route then?

I am saying Disney shouldn’t require paperwork. That doesn’t mean I don’t think workplaces shouldn’t. I don’t think they are equal places at all. One I have to go to and work every day to make money and live, the other is a theme park I’m choosing to go to for fun. I don’t think the same should...

For my work I had to get paperwork filled out, but for ADA paperwork is was just once I believe. I’m not sure the rules on workplaces but definitely shouldn’t be the same as a theme park 😆.

I wouldn’t call them fakers. Lots of people have medical issues that only come up sometimes. Let’s say for example my husband has IBS. He might need to leave the line sometimes, but not all the time. So in the past he could have qualified for DAS, but didn’t really always need it.

I just don’t think it will fix the issue. I doubt they would open it back up to everyone who had DAS prior, so if it’s staying the small group it is, why burden them more? I honestly don’t think it was the liars causing the overuse, it was mostly used by people with legit medical problems...

Not causing an undue burden on the disabled person.

Interesting as I’ve heard the opposite. That both standby and LL lines have been shorter. Also, again with school. That’s required of all children. This would be singling out only disabled people and putting an additional burden on them for a theme park. I get in schools and workplaces documents...

The issue is it’s causing a burden on only disabled people. Making them get paperwork and possibly pay more to get access to an accommodation. School and camps all children require the paperwork, not just disabled children.

I think the assumption is most people won’t actually need to leave the line. It doesn’t seem like it is happening very often.

Still better than giving everyone and 6 of their friends DAS for every ride on every trip 😉

I don’t know this for sure, but I think the picture was to actually prove the person was in line and about how far. Then I thought when the person came back they would be directed to the LL instead of back to standby. That was my understanding, but I’m sure it’s not the same for every ride.

Yep, this was our exact situation! They wanted to push us into a 504 and I had to fight to get the IEP process instead.

This will still be tons of people. All the people who got DAS prior can probably submit documentation (plus many with mobility issues). This sounds like more of a hassle than not and even more people would apply then are now. Also, I do believe that lawsuit has a section about having to provide...

This gets tough because let’s use autism for example. Not all people with autism need DAS, so what would they submit? Plus as someone stated before, dr’s offices may charge to obtain specific documentation from a doctor (like a note) which could be problematic for some people (don’t have...

Ok so let’s say someone has a mobility disability and can get approved with medical documentation at the other parks. They should get DAS too? They couldn’t before. Heck if they went the documentation route even more people may be approved then before. There are tons of people with documented...

Interesting. I’ve heard opposite here. Schools don’t want to give out IEPs because they are underfunded. Schools are required to cover special Ed services 100%, but don’t get reimbursed from the state and federal government at 100% so they have to pull the remainder of the funds from elsewhere...

I honestly don’t think they did it JUST to free up spots for paid LL. There were a lot of complains from regular standby riders as ri how long the lines were and how so many people on LL. There were also complains of people with DAS that the LLs were longer than 20min consistently because so...

I’ve heard a few things in another group. It’s really dependent on the ride, how long the wait is, and party size.. Person was told at one ride to just go through the LL since line wasn’t super long (rare, at another ride for a return time, and another to try to wait in line and if needed to...
