I'll play devil's advocate here. photomatt is unnecessarily combative, I agree. However, his idea would actually allow Disney to continue to accommodate a wider range of disabilities through DAS. They would have to conduct DAS interviews farther in advance, for sure. But if they limited the...

I don't think anyone is saying they shouldn't access those rides though.

Ok, but which rides do you think the fakers are inclined to use their DAS on?

I agree with a lot of what you said but, for a family of 4 for a weeklong trip, it’s not a $30 add on. It’s an $840 add on. And I can see a lot of people wanting to avoid that.

DAS with some extra hurdles would be a big improvement from a logistics side though. Most people wouldn’t go to the effort to jump through the hoops for every single ride. It would suck for the disabled people though.

Yeah I don’t get it. It’s been a year since I’ve been there bid but by and large LL’s are all practically walk ons. Maybe 10 minutes for a popular attraction.

Many people did this. I’m not sure it’s relevant at all to the discussion though.

I don’t think that’s some major issue. Ride the rides the kid likes. Enjoy the rest of your day. I’ve easily ridden the same ride 3 times. It has been a while. But it usually occurred during extra magic hours, after midnight, when the park’s clock was ticking down and everything was...

I’m not making that assumption at all. I’m pointing out that the rides that get the longest lines are the most affected by DAS. And that nobody, nobody, who is a standby rider would ever ride those rides several times in a day. And if they did, their day would be absolutely miserable...

Maybe. I’m not saying you’re wrong. But they are the ones with the data, and that can mean many things. Maybe they saw an opportunity to create an easy scapegoat for something they already wanted to do. Maybe the data told them some changes they made were causing problems, and this was a way...

It makes lots of sense for rides that get long lines, which are the ones DAS affects the most. You want to ride Rise of the Resistance 4 times? Then get a multi-day ticket because nobody else in the parks can pull that off without having a miserable day. But you can have a great one and do it...

What percentage of park guests are waiting in standby for Slinky Dog 3+ times in a day? It has to be less than 1%

The intended benefit is to be able to experience attractions that you can’t wait in line for due to a disability.

That’d be a good way to do it probably. You’d still need to tap in for every single ride in order to implement it. But it would help push more people to the less busy rides which is always good.

I doubt they’d have any legal issues with the re-rides The percentage of guests who ride something with an hour+ wait more than twice per day in the standby line has to be approaching zero. But I also doubt it’s a big issue with DAS. Being limited to using DAS twice per day or even once per...

Would you have considered it preferable to the changes that were actually implemented?

It doesn’t prove anything. It provides the intended benefit, fully, while disincentivizing cheating. This is stating the obvious, but cheaters can wait in line for 2 headliners at the same time. Put in my DAS for slinky dog while I’m in line for tower of terror.

I think it also speaks to why Disney didn’t bother with solutions like that. They were going to face the same backlash regardless of what they did. I’m not here to insult anyone’s disabilities and I’m sure many people are able to much more safely and comfortably enjoy the parks with DAS-like...

I agree. Over a year ago I pointed out on another forum that if they really thought DAS abuse was rising that the first logical thing would be to install tapstiles at all ride entrances, LL and Standby, and prevent DAS users from riding other rides while they wait for their DAS reservation. It...

This data point seems like it would be best presented in a 7 day rolling average
