"My kids are 19, 16, 14, so awkward teens that do not want to talk about this over and over again at each ride entrance."
I wouldn't jump to conclusions - no one here has shared the in full issues of their children, nor would I expect them to do so.
In the case of disability access, yes, that is certainly what should be expected. I don’t think disabled guests should be expected to give anything.
As long as they are ADA compliant are the legally responsible for this accommodations? Also who gets to decide if the what they are offering is worthy or not. I am asking because I really don't understand.I wouldn't jump to conclusions - no one here has shared the in full issues of their children, nor would I expect them to do so.
As for the final comment - it's Disney's responsibility to provide accommodations. Can't speak for anyone else, but we already do everything possible as an individual family to accommodate DD's needs. So that wouldn't be a part of discussions that I'd have online about this, because we're already doing everything we can there. The only place to discuss for us is on Disney's end.
But it would be the same problem, just because someone has a disability doesn’t mean they can’t wait in a line…. So does Paris not have an issue with their lines. Maybe less annual pass holders who use the service or less disabled people overall?
As others far more qualified than I in this thread have said, there's ambiguity in terms of how the ADA applies to waiting in lines as it's not specifically spelled out. But in general, yes, Disney is required to be ADA-compliant.
The question then is whether a line-skip program is required.
It’s off-topic.
Legally responsible to provide the DAS program as it exists now? I posted several comments giving my own opinion on this throughout the thread and don’t want to repeat them because I tend to go on too long lol.
Works fine at Disneyland - certainly doesn’t take 10 minutes to screen a family.
The US has some of the best laws in place to accommodate those with disabilities. The law is clear on what that implies with physical handicaps, but so much in with autism etc. I have no idea what the legal obligations of a business are to accommodate this and what would be considered reasonable. For the heck of it was curious what the situation would be for someone attending a game at Metlife stadium in NJ.
Do you know the cost of getting a notary to some doctor's offices, in some cases it's not even possible
A notary is only concerned with making sure the parties signing are who they say they are. They aren't concerned with the contents of what they're signing
Correct to me it’s more to verify it’s a doctor signing not a third party signing on their behalf or in the extreme cases, a person forging an entire doctor’s note
I’m aware of the differences, I’ve experienced them both. I prefer the consistency of the process at Disneyland but both have pros and cons.
This whole idea is silly, but there’s no logical reason to have the doctor’s signature notarized. It would be trivially easy for someone to check if a doctor’s note is forged. Probably easier than checking with the notary. In any event, DAS is not diagnosis based and never has been, so this whole thing is moot.
I don't think that it is unreasonable that people don't want to talk about their medical condition to several cast members a day, in full hearing of other guests.
