Hence the second layer where you sign an affidavit to Disney outlining the penalties if lying. It’s similar to when people sign documents under penalty of perjury, most of the time it’s not checked up on but just the threat of such a severe consequence gets most people to be honest or think twice
No this forum has been excellent.
100%! Drs just want to help and so I feel they would easily sign a form if their patient brought up that it would help them.
Honestly I'd be curious if there are many doctors that would be willing to put anything on legal documentation of that caliber.
How would Disney prove or disprove it though? Let’s say in my example I do have anxiety, so I’m not lying on the document I signed and it’s noted on my medical chart. I just think it will be too easy for a lot of people to get completed by their drs, whether or not they really can wait in line. I guarantee in my example of a mobility issue they could also get their Dr to sign a form. Doctors just want to help in a lot of cases. If their patient says I need xyz and they know that patient does have a medical issue then why wouldn’t they sign? But honestly we can poke holes in any theory as nothing is perfect. Although I would prefer a specific document over just everyone submit an IEP or anything in your medical chart showing you have a disability.
Probably the same as completing FMLA paperwork or ADA accommodation requests for workplaces. If you have medical issues they are not hard to get filled out (I suppose as long as you have a doctor you’ve been seeing for awhile). But again, just because someone has a disability doesn’t mean they can’t wait in a line.
I mean if they discover a case where the doctors note itself was forged.
I would rather provide direct doctor notes to Disney than do the IBCCES thing. It's a marketing group, not a medical one. The forms required tedious back and forth messages within the office's systems (b/c we can't just do straight up email) with our daughter's ped over the course of a week to get all sorted. Thankfully that's all free for us, but many don't have such access.In all fairness doctors do sometimes throw documents around like that like candy.
Honestly I don't think there is any perfect system. I do wonder why they decided not to do something more Like what universal does though
What would the process be? Have another doctor examine someone against their will and decide if they don’t have that issue?
I mean - they're going to have to deal with different languages and different regulations with the current process too. For ex, UK visitors haven't been able to do pre visit DAS calls before because the regulations in the UK prevent it (or that's been my understanding from UK guests anyway).
I understand this however the system isn't perfect and a little uncomfortableness to not have to wait in the physical line if they aren't capable may be worth it. I don't understand just exactly people want from Disney.
How does it work in Paris?
I’m talking of a case where someone actually forged their own document and/or the doctors signature and never actually spoke with the named doctor
oh sorry! I missed that point.
You upload documentation to Disney and they will issue you a card. For US citizens, one of the following qualifies:How does it work in Paris?
No worries. It’s a pipe dream but that’s where a notary would help really filter the fakers out. A public notary usually isn’t willing to risk the consequences by skirting the rules
Some people's disabilities include issues that impact their ability to share information verbally and/or repeatedly that goes well beyond "uncomfortableness". Autistic people can shut down in these situations, those with selective mutism, or who communicate in ways other than oral speech, etc. So what are they looking for? All of their disabilities to be accommodated. People having access to effective communication for themselves (their preferred method of communication, not how a business tells them to communicate) is covered under the ADA as well.
