Unfortunately this has proven to be true. I don’t think it had to be. People don’t empty the lollipop bowl into their purse at the bank, and trick or treaters only **sometimes** empty out the candy bowl the person who wasn’t home left on their porch.
Future world rides are always high early afternoon. People entering the parks see those rides first and go on them. They’ll drop to walk-ons by late afternoon.
It wasn't free lightning lane, it was a service that was more optimized to take advantage of time in the parks than anything they have ever designed besides a tour guide, and it was free
Generally if it's at a 20-25 minute wait, that just means the indoor line is full and it's constantly moving but not shrinking
There was a blogger who used to work for another site who would always make a point to brag about how often she used her DAS and really threw it in everyone's face. But what was interesting is she was able to stand in line for food booths, merchandise, and both Epcot and popular concerts. She was able to walk around the theme parks and cover all the new things on a daily basis, yet, for some reason never explained, needed the DAS. Ironically enough the one thing she never covered was her personal use of Genie+.
I’d also bet that she had a legitimate disability and did not lie to get her DAS.
I highly doubt it. They are probably part of the reason Disney felt they needed to revise the program and who qualified for it.
Because everyone knows the unwritten rule with the lollipop bowl and the trick or treating bowl is to take one. That wasn’t the unwritten rule with DAS, or the written rule, or the spoken rule… Disney said use it whenever you want to.
You really think there isn’t an unwritten societal rule that you shouldn’t use accommodations designed for the disabled unless you actually need those accommodations? Really?
No, I mean she probably didn’t lie about her disability. I’m sure she was disabled, but did she really need DAS as a reasonable accommodation in order to be able to experience Disney’s attractions? Probably not. That’s why Disney had to tighten up what qualifies for DAS and why they didn’t just move in the Universal direction of requiring proof of disability.
We are talking about legitimately disabled users using the system as they were told. I called it soft abuse because they were using it in situations it wasn’t necessary but that’s how Disney told them to use it.
i saw something i think on tiktok that was basically a "how to skip the lines" in disneyland just by saying you need DAS and yeah....people ruin everything but DAS def needs to be re-evaluated now because of the seemingly overall lack of integrity that society used to have...i think.
I mean if you don’t think that someone who is legitimately disabled with, for example, heat intolerance, doesn’t know that they shouldn’t really use their DAS pass to skip indoor queues then I don’t know what to tell you.
Have you ever gone 1 or more miles per hour over the speed limit?
There’s been a lot of cognitive dissonance and false equivalence in this thread but comparing using an accommodation designed for the severely disabled that you don’t actually need with going 1 mph over the speed limit is something.
It getting to a point that it was unsustainable and saying it was wrong are different things.
