People could be reasoning that avoiding waiting in lines is not the kind of accommodation contemplated by the ADA since it‘s a subject (unlike design standards) that is completely left out. Or they could be thinking that a return to line system would be sufficient to meet the reasonable accommodation requirement under the circumstance where Disney’s business model is having people stand in lines unless they pay to avoid them.
Even the physical accessibility requirements are a bit of a mess in terms of enforcement. In a lot of jurisdictions a standard has not been adopted so there is little to no review. There are also too many jurisdictions that don’t understand that a local government cannot waive federal requirements. That’s how you get so many stories of small businesses being sued despite having a relatively new facility.
I’m 6’-4” but thankfully a lot of my height is in my torso. It does make me want to duck on SM
Sure. But not in a way that greatly diminishes experiences of the majority of paying guests.
A reasonable accommodation to a guest’s disability that doesn’t fundamentally alter the company’s ability to provide goods and services to the rest of the public. The OP suggested these new accommodations would be struck down by a court.
They're not allowed to ride anything else using the disability accommodations. At universal and other regional parks using this we could ride other attractions via standby if it worked for us.
I’m 6’3 and haven’t had an issue with anything at MK
What does that mean? I’ve waited an extra 5-10 minutes for a chair to be loaded onto a jungle cruise boat. Is that ok?
Only for the attractions built prior to the ADA that are not accessible via the standby queue
Indy was built after ADA
I’m 6’7” and the opposite…eating kneesI’m 6’-4” but thankfully a lot of my height is in my torso. It does make me want to duck on SM
The design standards require an accessible route to the load area but that route does not have to follow the queue.
Just because someone has a disability and needs DAS to spend the day at a theme park doesn’t mean their employer has records of their disability.
This is actually hilarious to me!I’m 6’-4” but thankfully a lot of my height is in my torso. It does make me want to duck on SM
Been there done that lmao. Daddy whats wrong? HahahahI’m 6’3 and haven’t had an issue with anything at MK
Unless my daughter pulls down the lap bar on the Barnstormer before I’m fully in position
That’s not specific guidelines or regulations.
Ya the doctors note feels off. Nowadays everything medical is on a mychart. You should be able to pull up your file with your list of medical conditions without making doctors write notes and should be more legit as it’s your medical file.
