Great! The new DAS seems like a good deal then for folks who can get it.
disney doesn't break down the das into person x can only do 30 minutes for the most part but can on a good day do 45 minutes for y ride but not z ride. 30 minutes is their standard measure of time for the most part. and there are lines if 15 minutes that aren't worth the risk for us
I guess I'm confused... as I have never attempted to get DAS. In the call with the CM do you not describe what types of lines you cannot wait in and why you can't wait in them? I know the customer facing side of the app doesn't show the reason DAS was approved, but surely Disney is keeping records of all of these calls on their end.
i'm not going to give a roadmap, explaining anything more at this point would be giving one
I know exactly what you mean, if you can't wait the 30 minutes indoors to one ride, how is ok to wait 45 minutes to do another? You mean if tracking showed guests waiting longer than 30 minutes for other things elsewhere. That currently isn't done as nobody checks into standby with anything.
I think that people that are willing to lie will have no issues repeating that lie. It takes a special kind of person to actually claim that they have a disability when they don't.
Not looking for a roadmap for how to get DAS. I guess I just assumed from the call that the limitations of the person requiring DAS would be presented in some way... If that is the case it would be pretty easy to flag that user if they do something that is outside their limitations for a review of abuse.*
Don't worry, the road map will be spread all through the inter web soon enough.
You discuss the need that requires waiting outside the line. For some that may be a time based need. For others it won't be. Limitations vary from person to person, and not all are time-specific.
This has come up a bunch of times in different forms. The problem with this method is that triggers for different issues will vary substantially. One line might trigger anxiety, claustrophobia, meltdowns, etc. while another is just fine. Also, a person may be experiencing a flare up with something or having a hard time in the morning but feel much better in the afternoon. What any of us can do on our best days tends to vary from what we can handle when we’re having a rough time.
I am hopeful that Disney will redo things when they get into this and see what needs to be done so that those who actually need this service will be able to get it. I think they have a lot of information to go over and will actually redo things so it is more just while keeping the cheaters out.
This assumes that the disability experience is always **static** which I think many in the community wish it was, because that would make planning and accommodating disabilities INFINITELY easier and less anxiety-ridden. My son has an alphabet soup of developmental diagnoses... and I can read his cues - b/c I know him so well - when it is a good time to try a 45 minute line and when even a 15 minute wait is a no-go. On paper it sounds like it is easy to detect cheaters, but the reality of your idea just isn't that simple.
Ideas like this keep getting posting in this thread. It is pure speculation.
Exactly, that is the most angering aspect of it. Nobody thinks about the consequences.
the very cynical part of me at the moment just can't help thinking that people's fear of missing out is surpassing their empathy.
I think you are spot on. And it's unfortunate. I don't even think it's cynical anymore.
Absolutely correct. If a fake DAS user gets DAS, they will simply use DAS as is, DAS being far superior to Genie+ and even better, its FREE!
I'm not disagreeing with that. I was responding to the implied coorelation that all children under the age of 12 would have to be considered for accommodations based on heat intolerance.
