Saying that disabled people can't be criticized is ludicrous...criticized for being disabled? Of course not. Criticized for actions they take or things they say? Sure, just as anyone else would be.

I'm actually seeing quite a few people being approved, but not for physical only disabilities - those still seem to be very rare. And I'm not saying that I think Disney is going back to the way DAS was previously, I'm saying that the DAS Defenders are all giddy because of the publicity this...

Oh please, don't try to use disability as a "get away with anything" card. And if you consider this shaming, that's on you.

I wish I knew where you come up with some of this stuff... And I'm not blaming her disability, I'm just saying that she is looking for publicity, and she's found it.

She was provided an accommodation, and she didn't want to use it. She chose Genie+ instead, and then made the focus of her video a plea for Disney to provide lower cost Genie+ to AP holders. As for your second statement, first, how do you know she didn't speak with a medical professional...

I mean Disney giving in and going back to the way DAS was previously.

Yes, she has her 15 minutes of fame now...and still no explanation as to why she can't wait in a standby line or wait outside the queue while her party waits in line.

Agree, and I already did.

Exactly. And now that the "DAS Defenders" :rolleyes: are getting some media attention using this woman, they're all giddy that Disney is going to cave. I think they've forgotten (or never knew) how much bad publicity Disney got when they eliminated GAC. I think Disney would simply...

No one has said that ADA laws don't apply. I said that ADA Title II laws don't apply to Disney, as they are not a government entity. No idea what the rest of your question is supposed to be.

Which, of course, have nothing whatsoever to do with DAS.

Totally different title under the ADA than what Disney is subject to.

DAS is skip the line, period. There is a good reason for it, as for some, it's a needed accommodation. You can call it a "timed 'line'" elsewhere if you choose to do so, but that's ridiculous on its face, as eating, going to the restroom, riding another attraction, or going back to the resort...

Based on your previous posts, everything Disney now does related to DAS is illegal, so...

So, DAS users skip the line but don't skip the wait. No issue with that obviously, as that's what the accommodation calls for, but it's intellectually dishonest to say that DAS users don't skip the line.

Other than now being on video v. in-person, it's the same DAS interview process that's been in place since 2013. With all of the lawsuits brought when DAS was implemented, if anyone thought the interview process itself was an ADA violation, you can be sure they would have sued over it.

They can respond - they hand them an iPad and have them contact disability services.

I disagree, but that's ok :)

You put out all of sorts of stuff about what is "legally required", but I've not seen you back any of it up with facts yet. Where is it written that "legally, Guest Relations is the place where disabled guests are supposed to complain about access issues."? And if you don't know what bullying...

That's outrageous, I agree.
