Be Our Guest is definitely not a cafeteria, it's one of the most amazing restaurants Disney has ever built. Hence the reason why people will wait up to an hour to dine there just for lunch and reservations for dinner are booked 6 months out.

It's not like a lot of restaurants where they have to seat in a specific server rotation because they can't fill the restaurant to capacity. BOG is always full, so they just seat by reservation time to whatever table opens up next for that party size. If you request a server, then they will make...

AKL has definitely been testing for awhile. If that is the 1st resort you are staying at, then that is why you were able to get Magic Bands. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if part of the testing was to allow the guests to get the MBs on their own without any e-mail instruction, so this...

Yes, that is correct. If a restaurant is going to undergo any type of refurb work, they will block the days out of the system 6 months in advance to make sure nobody is able to reserve for those days. If a refurb is cancelled, then they will open the ADRs again in the system.

When you go to Be Our Guest, request Frankie, Ratana, Shelley or Kristin G. as your server. They are some of the best from across property!

I feel your frustration. But remember, you are the one who agreed to be part of the test. Disney is not forcing any guests to do it that do not want to. Guests are NOT testing the final product. Therefore, the system is NOT expected to run perfectly. Testing is done to determine what aspects of...

Interesting. The only way I can envision a CM getting fired for something like that is if he/she abandoned their job responsibilities to go out of their way to speak to him. Executives and celebrities come through the parks all of the time, and as long as you continue with your job and are...

I can already see the greedy executives sitting in their offices thinking to themselves... "D23, what a joke! These fans will buy into anything we throw at them!"

There in lies the problem, there is a difference between something being mandatory as mandated by the government, and somebody "claiming" that something is mandatory by law. This is where there is a separation of personal opinion and what the actual law entails. Disney's only commitment is to...

This thread is going to continue on forever, but I think the way to approach the abuse is by looking at the root of the GAC problem. 1) It was a blanket for all disabilities. 2) It diverted disabled guests from inaccessible queues built before ADA went into effect. (And yes, I know about the...

So something interesting in the Magic Kingdom 2 days ago... a family with one of their members in a wheelchair approached a CM in front of BOG with some type of voucher. It was not the red GAC card, BOG FP+ blue test card, nor was it a No Strings attached card. After the CM had talked to the...

As a stockholder and a fan, it makes it even worse. I love the fact that my stock has been climbing over the past year, but it's at the expense of the staggering parks and resorts division of the company.

Johann is excellent server and works very hard at her job bringing the magic of Disney to your dinner table at Be Our Guest. She was one of the original opening team servers and has been delighting guests ever since! :)

T-Rex and Rainforest are two of the busiest table service restaurants at WDW on a consistent basis. I know Disney has themed restaurants, but the atmospheres at T-Rex and Rainforest just blow everything Disney has out of the water. I'll give Disney credit though, they definitely stepped up their...

Once the NGE support teams give the system its finally green light and leave it in the hands of CM's, the true test of NGE will be before us. CM's are not computer programmers and everything they are creating for NGE is based on new systems that have never been done before in the parks. If...

I'm not going to keep posting in this thread forever, but I think people need to look at the situation from a more scaled back approach first: If there was no GAC, and Disney World still had all other current modifications, handicap accessible queues and ride vehicles, FastPass, and other...

You clearly missed the whole point of my post. GAC is a voluntary service not required by Disney, therefore an individual who chooses to participate can voluntarily disclose medical information in the form a doctor's note. I never said a CM is qualified to read medical diagnosis. I think they...

The company is providing a service based on medical needs and already going above and beyond what the ADA requires. If anything, an ADA activist should want a system in place so that non-disabled individuals can't take advantage of it. There was a great example posted in regards to Target...

Let me rephrase that then, since we want to nit-pick... nobody can ever get in trouble lawfully for fraudulently faking a disability (even though my friend got a ticket for parking in a handicapped parking spot because they weren't handicapped). However, Disney should still require a doctor's...

I'm all in favor of a doctor's note explaining why you can't stand or sit in a wheelchair in line. This will help narrow down the GAC to guests who physically need it because now a doctor will clearly define what their limitations are. Just like "luv" mentioned earlier, now Disney can keep a...
