True. And the vast majority of people will get the same accommodation: leave the line if it becomes necessary and the CMs will work with whatever return-to-line system that attraction uses. Very few will be granted a return time without waiting in line. The CMs' supervisors will be available to handle any escalation if needed, just as they are available now.
This is me and yes, this will be our last trip. Disney is not a vacation for me. It's work. Others love it and I'm happy for them. The DAS thing is the cherry on top of my decision not to go to WDW anymore.
I am curious, and maybe this has been covered in his thread already, but does Disney have to accommodate things other than physical disabilities, legally?
So the people who previously had DAS will be increasing the standby waits and the LLs will be getting shorter?
Agreed. 11 y/os are significantly different in many ways than a 5 year old. Not the least of which is size. When DD was 5 and needed physical assistance of any kind due to her disability (whether actual physical assistance to move or physical assistance to calm/regulate), it wasn't an issue - either DH or I could do it. Now? I can't provide any meaningful physical support. It legitimately causes me injury. I'm still in pain from trying to help her access a less than accessible field trip yesterday. It's not the same thing as a neurotypical 5 year old even remotely.
The ADA is not limited to physical disabilities.
I mean I hear what you're saying, but in the era of social media, 24/7 internet access, etc - there is no such thing as unpublished.
See how GREAT everything is working! And for those who think this is fine and normal, I am sad for you.
I still don’t understand what we’re supposed to be seeing at this time. Should standby be longer and LLs shorter?
Well, yes, Standby should always be longer, but these standby's are nuts.
Well, unless you have light sensitivity, or IBS, or heat sensitivity, or ADHD. Then you MUST get DAS.
Well yes, IF you can get approved for DAS.
NO, the folks who previously legitimately qualified for DAS and now do not, COULD NEVER use standby.
From what I have heard, a typical abuser of the service is a local FL AP. The suspicion is that they simply will ride less attractions; not purchase Genie+ because doing so every time they visit is not realistic and also not waiting on 75+ min waits because it just doesn't make sense for someone who lives so close.
No, a lot of the people who previously qualified for DAS could only sometimes not use standby. That’s why they tightened it up and offered new alternatives for that category of people.
Yeah that's why. It had nothing to do with $$$$$$$$.
But what are the “right things” it seems random.
Well just as you say legitimate DAS users who previous qualified but now do not, could sometimes use standby , I guess I cant assume they could never use stand by.
