Heaven forbid you be confined to a closed space in order to ride a ride, that’s just crazy right!

Dude I really don’t think it’s in ANYONE’S interest for Disney to literally hold people hostage.
They aren’t a hostage, they can leave but then they lose their spot in line. You know like the rest of us, but with much nicer accommodations, which they deserve because of their disability.

I hope you know there’s a major psychological difference between moving through a line for a while and waiting in a small room for the same amount of time. It’s not even in Disney’s interest to keep people in a room, they’d rather you spend money on food and drink while you wait.

This is the wrong thread, however confining people to a space makes 0 sense for a variety of reasons…. 1) for Disney, they’re not out in the park spending money 2) they’re trapped in a room for literally no reason.
This also is not feasible just for the fact that Disney does not have the spaces for it. Regardless, this idea is ludicrous and something they will never implement.

I wish they were getting rid of the carnival & replacing it with a better themed dinosaur area. Then use some of AK's expansion space for the South America ideas.This is why replacing Dinosaur instead of expanding is a bad idea.

Why doesn’t it just work the same way as child swap does? Or like the old fast pass system? There are plenty of practical solutions. While I appreciate the access to health care issue in the states, the ‘you can’t possibly ask me to prove my disability’ is a uniquely American problem. The idea that you can abuse the system by just demanding a more advantageous experience is ludicrous. I’m sure people with genuine need to avoid having to wait in lines would rather show a form of proof, than have thousands of other people falsely claiming need.

That sounds like an issue between the patient and their provider. If the provider is not willing to back up a diagnosis then the patient needs to talk to them not expect Universal to waive a requirement that all accommodations need docs.

If someone can afford a Disney vacation and claim they need DAS, healthcare access is not an issue.

Studios still needs a lot of expansion. They need some for C/D rides too. Can’t TSL expand out back to have some of the rides like the TS playlands have around the world like Army Man Drop.
Animal kingdom has the luxury of space so I think they should go ahead and replace Dinosaur with Indy but long term, expand on it more with either an Indy Coaster or update the Done yard to an Indy dig site?
Animation Courtyard needs a major update and the old animation studio needs a high capacity ride. DHS should also have a water ride. It needs a PotC Chute the Chute ride. While not the best place thematically I’ll push once again for a Tangled boat ride. Queue is the forest outside Rupunzels glen, soldiers are searching for Flynn and in the queue the big set piece is the Captain of the Guard on Maximus deputizing us to join the search. First scene is Rupenzel and Flynn agreeing to exchange the crown for a trip to Corona. Second scene is the guards and Maximus cornering Rupenzel and Flynn in the canyon with Maximus destroying the dam causing drop #1. Immediately post drop we enter the flooded Snuggly Duckling during I have a dream for a huge scene, we see Flynn and Rupenzel leave at the end. It’s now night in the Forrest and we have Gothel teaming up with the Stabbington Bros to get Flynn, the forrest then gives way to the giant lake for the other giant set piece, At Last I See the Light. At the end of the lake we enter the Coronan boatworks building and start climbing a huge lift. As we climb we enter the castle and are treated to vignettes of Rupenzel and Flynn being chased guards and Gothel/Stabbigton Bros. The crest of the lift features Gothel trying to pull Rupenzel off a cliff and Flynn holding her back and brandishing a knife that goes to cut Rupenzel’s hair and send Gothel into the abyss as we drop. Final scene is the King and Queen embracing Rupenzel wearing her crown.

Seems like the Imagineer Forums might be better place to post this sort of thing.
I dislike the confidence people have in their armchair ideas, and the oversimplification they tend to treat the real-world realities that go into attraction design and immersive storytelling. These things are much easier said than done.

I don't think Indiana Jones belongs in Animal Kingdom. The movie series isn't about animals. They just happen to be in it. What's next Sleeping Beauty and Snow White because there are forest animals in them??? Every Disney movie has animals in it, but that doesn't mean they belong in Animal Kingdom.

What do you work for Disney?
It seems like you want to run damage control for their bad ideas??? Indy in Animal sucks, Moana in Epcot sucks and Tiana in Frontierland sucks.

I don’t disagree, but the overarching theme for DAK is conservation, and Indy sought to conserve civilization against the Nazi’s, Russians, and Thuggees.

He mostly just wanted to conserve different countries artifacts and have them in Museums. So everyone can see it and it's not profited upon by evil millionaires and billionaires.
But I guess you could say he helped the people and their civilization in Temple of Doom though.

Both parks lack adequate capacity. Just updating existing facilities doesn’t fix that issue.

No, I don’t work for Disney. I’m just a fan, like you.
I just stated my opinion: I dislike the armchair imagineers who are quick to throw out big ideas without having all the information as though their high-level story treatments were superior (or even possible).
Which bad ideas have I defended?

Child swap works the same way (in essence) the party waits in the physical queue, while one member of the party waits with the child. That member is then able to use the Lightning Lane to experience the attraction.
What is really the difference between Legacy FastPass and the current DAS system? You pick one attraction to receive a return time for, once that has been redeemed, you can get another. Not really that complicated.
The uniquely "American" problem here, is the ADA. Disney themselves can not legally ask for proof, they can go the Universal route and use a third party. However for guest service reasons, I think Disney would rather keep it in house and risk having an "abuser" here or there.
I just can't believe we're having this conversation when the larger encompassing issue is the underbuilt theme parks, and the poor execution of Disney Genie+. Not guests who have disabilities. The sheer amount of people using the Lightning Lanes via Disney Genie+ or ILL is far greater than those who have a DAS.
