You should familiarize yourself with what companies are required to provide for accommodations. Even under these new plans, Disney is likely being more generous than just what’s required.
What does history have to do with their current policy?
Your conveniently ignoring the fact that Universal has a system that accommodates all disabilities and is not being abused.
This is a Disney board, I don’t know about Universal (first time it’s been brought up to me?), it’s silly to presume their system is free of abuse, and the general view is their ride designs and queues are decidedly unforgiving to those with disabilities (or even the obese).
Universal’s system requires providing documentation that is assessed by a 3rd party for approval.
Remember last year when I told you I needed a doctors letter to avoid the metal detectors as Disneyland Paris because they'd told me in advance that my card that gets me through airport security wasn't enough for them? I think your response was something akin to "Remember what they say, never trust the French"
Im speaking directly about CM abuse which has been claimed by multiple accounts on this forum… so all i am saying is if a CM of Disney is abusing and lying about a Need for DAS Disney should easily be able to prove that…
That is allegedly why they are making changes. Word is out.
Honeslty…because you are not being rational about it. This is obviously the first of several steps to come. They are not going to have an “autism only” disability policy. There is more to come.
And I’m telling you that it’s not easy for them to prove that like you seem to think.
Carousel of Progress? That’s a great attraction.
It’s only a few months old and it’s being challenged legally (albeit the same system being used by a different company)
And i can tell you from 1st hand experience at both my last employers it was…. We can agree to disagree here. Definitely not something i truly care to debate nor argue about.
What i fine absurd is why anyone would challenge this with a real valid disability
I never said my "concern is not waiting in line." There's just a lot of misplaced assumptions as to what Disney can/should/is required to do, and I'm merely chiming in to address the most obvious misassumptions. I'm generally ambivalent about this except for Disney's need to pare back obvious abusers (either those faking diagnoses or monetizing their accommodation) and bringing more equilibrium back to the guest experience.
You can hear it now. "Hey guys...want to know how to experience Disney World as a VIP for free? First, contact your doctor or school nurse..."
Yeah, this is the first time I've heard Universal is a favorable place with disabilities, given the comparative lack of ADA accessibility, the rides that are uncomfortable to larger body types, and their more rigorous disability verification policy.
That’s already happening
But your argument regarding your first hand experience is the opposite of what is going on here. If you tell your employer you can’t perform a job function because of a disability and then they discover you don’t have that disability that is an entirely different scenario.
