Accommodations have to be viewed in terms of how they impact the business’s ability to provide goods/services to guests.
That was my initial reaction as well. I believe the issue is that DAS users have an hour long window, and Disney has no way of knowing when in that window they will return. Even if they give them a longer overall wait time, when they do return, a large amount of users could end up clustered together. Then those users all need to be boarded fairly quickly, in addition to Genie+ users, which causes a backup.
Sure, if I was asking for a recap of 160 pages. I asked for two simple responses. That's all. Sorry I don't have the time to spend every minute of every day here making sure to stay up to date and read every message on every thread. It's a shame some people can't seem to understand that not everyone is like them.
Yeah that's a good point. I think most of the time the DAS users return pretty sporadically, with of course some larger influxes here and there, but I wouldn't know that of course. Thanks for responding with a thought to further the conversation.
I love your optimism! I hope you are right and I am wrong. I have lost faith in TWDC. I expect the worst and hope for the best.
This is also a good and very valid point. That would make it pretty difficult to know.
So is it theoretically possible a DAS user could be in upwards of a half dozen or so virtual lines at once?
Only one ride return time can be reserved at a time (plus the 2 advance reservations).
Ah, yeah. I thought the question was strictly about having multiple DAS returns.
I had no idea it was that long, thanks! Not sure where I heard an hour but that’s what I always thought it was. That does seem pretty unmanageable in terms of trying to mesh DAS with Genie then.
See, now you know that posters here are taking the matter seriously and respectfully and certainly don’t need to hear, “How dare we disabled people get in the way of anyone else’s fun?” That adds nothing of value to the discussion.
Actually it does. The poster's message (the way I read it at least), was a complaint that DAS users are slowing down the standby queues. Believe me, I wish I didn't have an issue that makes DAS necessary for me...
Of course they are. So are people who buy Genie+. So are standby riders. Anyone in line for any reason is. I'm not sure why that means that people like myself who don't have obvious or visual disabilities, but need DAS, have to "suffer"? I'm not sure I understand why they couldn't just enforce the return times. It would be pretty much the same as if DAS users stood in line.
But after the new system is in place, THE SAME (slow??) PEOPLE will be in the SAME lighting lane queue, the only difference is they will be paying for Genie+ instead of using DAS.
