Let me spell it out for you ... 1. Person requests an accommodation for their disability 2. Disney requests evidence of the disability 3. Person sues Disney for discrimination 4. Disney defends itself in court 5. Courts will step in and confirm that an entity has the right (under the ADA)...

I saw them. But the portions I quoted were prior to these statements and were clearly you suggesting Disney was powerless (under the law) from preventing people from skipping attraction lines and could not require any evidence of disability. ----------- ME: "It was much better before. It was...

Of course. Now in many instances, the disability will be obvious (which doesn't really requiring disclosure or demonstration/documentation), but the person entity/person expected to make the accommodation should be reasonably certain the disability before accommodating it.

Contemplates it? Sure ... in very, very narrow circumstances. The obvious inference being that in the circumstances where it isn't explicitly stated (and narrowly tailored), like motorized scooters, then the ADA does not prohibit a person having to answer questions or provide evidence of their...

Bingo . And I'd go further and state that if the DOJ tried to mandate that an entity (like Disney) couldn't ask for reasonable evidence of a disability before providing an accommodation, and it was challenged, the courts would step in. Except in very narrow circumstances (motorized scooters...

This you? ...

I'm old enough to remember when we needed to get to the Magic Kingdom shortly after it opened so my mother could go to City Hall and get us reservations for the Diamond Horseshoe Review for that afternoon. Somehow society didn't fall completely into chaos because we didn't have to repeatedly...

Is this where you pretend over and over again that you don't understand the simple definitions of commonly used words? "Hey, the law requires assurances, not proof!!" "Hey, the law requires the assurances be credible, not reasonable!!" -------- This whole discussion is bordering on ludicrous...

Nonsense. Of course, the DOJ's written guidance is not the text of the bill or the understanding of the legislature that passed it. Just to be clear ... you're asserting that however the DOJ decides to interpret a law goes, right? So, in two months, when Trump's DOJ leadership comes into...

You asked me to. You asked me where in the ADA a reasonable proof standard was enunciated. It's used in almost the entirety of the ADA, but in the motorized scooter section, it specifically outlined and it discusses that a verbal statement (absent contrary visible evidence) satisfies the...

... and according to the ADA, this "verbal representation not contradicted by observation" standard applies only to the public accommodation of motorized scooters ("power driven mobility device") and is not a rule that applies to other forms of public accommodation (like the need to not wait in...

Yes, only it used the term "credible assurances" instead. Different words; identical meanings.

You've never heard the term "proof beyond all reasonable doubt" before? Dictionary.com ... Reasonable - "agreeable to reason or sound judgment; logical" Proof - "the establishment of the truth of anything; demonstration" Let's put them together ... That which establishes the truth of...

"May be satisfied" ... for motorized scooters. The fact that it is expressly stated that way in the "motorized" vehicles section ... and not in the general public accommodation section ... suggests (under the law) that verbal representation alone is not enough to satisfy the general credible...

It uses the term "credible assurances" instead of the term "reasonable proof." Do you want to explain to everyone the legal distinction?

Title III, Sections 36.105(a)(2), 36.105(d)(2)(ii) and 36.311(c)

Businesses can ask for reasonable proof that the disability exists before providing accommodation. And in the case of a theme park, "accommodation" doesn't need to be skipping to the front of the line with no wait. Disney went decades without requiring documentation (for those without...

No, it isn't. I'm an attorney and I've counseled corporations on ADA compliance.

Disney ran a free fastpass system for 20 years because someone with an accounting degree suggested that every minute a guest spent in line was a minute that guest wasn't in a gift shop or restaurant spending additional money. And that is the only reason Disney implemented a fastpass system.

The obvious thing he doesn't mention is that every time he "delivers more value" to one customer, he's devaluing the experience of the customers who didn't pay more. Sold a Lighting Lane to someone? Everyone else just waited a little longer in line. Separate-ticketed nighttime event...
