    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Yes, people with true disabilities still have them outside of Disney. It's something we have to deal with on a daily basis. A lot of us must have accommodations in our own homes that others might not realize.

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Apparently, accommodations are on the ride CM to decide. The accommodation is not a given and the ones being offered may not be reasonable for certain conditions. Here I thought speaking to an expert might help both sides of the discussion - just goes to show what I get for thinking. I did not...

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    In my post, I did not claim that CMs are making anyone buy anything: Now, CMs are not making people buy Genie+, it's a suggestion.

    K, I called the ADAA because I figured that agency could give me answers. We are not experts and can debate for a quadrillion yrs but our thoughts are not laws. The woman I spoke to told me that Disney cannot make people buy an accommodation, ie, Genie+. Now, CMs are not making people buy...

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    My point was, especially if going to WDW in warm/hot weather, it's almost impossible to practice standing in line because besides the heat and humidity there are crowds. That said, it seems that children on the Autism spectrum are getting DAS which is great.

    Fakers won't have to do this because they'll have developed a neurodivergence in order to get DAS.

    They're treating those with disabilities like they're stupid. As if we don't or haven't already done these or at least some of them?

    Someone posted on another board that an autistic person in the process of registering was denied DAS and : Told to practice waiting in lines Told to work on coping skills Told panic attacks and anxiety needs to be managed Told their autism wasn’t “as severe”

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I can remember when people said Disney would charge for an FP like experience and when it was said that Disney would allow more benefits depending upon Disney resort level stay. Others were outraged because Disney would never do anything like that. There were very heated discussions. Where are...

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    "Disney is doing fine attendance-wise." At some point if guest satisfaction is not made a priority, that will no longer be true. The parks are the earnings star: "If ever there was a business which has found the magic formula for making profits it is Disney's theme park division. Last year...

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    And this is why Disney's attitude towards guest happiness is not the priority anymore. Disney can take take a crud on people's heads and some will say, "Oh but it's Disney's crud and it's really not crud, it's Mickey bars with extra chocolate.". It's like a bad relationship where one side has...

    Says to me they took the easy way and hey, it's their business. Problem is they will have caused some Disney fans distress. It isn't a good look for a company that is supposed to be family and disabled friendly. Stories of denial will make the papers and we're already seeing it online. Surely...

    So DAS users who buy G+ will just make G+ times harder to get? I mean if the users took up what 75% of the LL and now a lot of them are buying G+, seems like that will put pressure on G+.

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    With the new rules, you're right. That said, if lots of former DAS users buy G+, it will run out even faster. Since this is my last trip to WDW, I think I might give G+ a try and see how well it works with DAS.
