I never said that NO ONE was doing it. I am saying that many on here are assuming that ALL DAS holders are doing this. And of course that is not the case. There is zero empathy here from some about those who deal with legitimate medical issues. From calling people "entitled" to assuming that everyone is abusing DAS. It is gross. We know that there are people who are faking it, but stop lumping everyone in that group.
For all my visits to both WDW and DL the over all majority of CM’s are wonderful especially compared to “real world” destinations.
It is not an advantage when everyone is free to re-ride whatever they want. DAS holders don't get on rides faster than anyone else, they still wait the posted standby wait time for that ride. Is there still a confusion about that?
I think his point is that there is an advantage over everyone else in the sense that a non-DAS person has to actually wait in the lets say 50min line for the ride, go on the ride, then go back into the 50min line to wait in order to ride again. Thats 1hour and 40min of waiting in line, to go on the ride twice. If you are a DAS holder, you get your return time, and then for the first 50 min, you can go grab something to eat, you can go shopping, you could go ride a ride that has no wait time, and then report back for your first ride. Then you can make the decision to re-ride the ride, and for the next 50 minutes find another ride with no wait time, go grab a spring roll, or go grab some pins. For the person without DAS to ride a ride twice your taking that 1hour and 40 minutes out of your day and dedicating it to that re-ride. Whereas for the DAS holder, you can do the same double ride, while still having the ability to do a lot of other things in the park.
I see some already answered it, but I thought it was the answer to the “my autistic child fixates on one ride and needs to ride it back to back” issue. I don’t know how the prebooks work, but could they be used for the same ride?
Yes they gave them out if you pre booked but again why?!? It was part of the reason the system was crippled
If this person posted experience after experience of that nature, I might question it. For a one-off? CMs have bad days too. My thought is if I wasn't there I have no idea.
My point is this tho. How clueless could they have been to not realize this was hurting the system and why did they not get rid of them asap… its like they intentionally did this to implode the system
“Was every GAC holder a power user? No. But was ever a power rerider holding a GAC? Yes, unless the attraction happened to not have a wait.”
I have no confusion about how DAS can be used to maximize access to attractions.
And again, aside from those who are faking it, we are talking about people with legitimate medical issues. Many of which take that time between rides to deal with their medical conditions. That is why I, and others are saying to not lump everyone together. Just because someone has DAS, does not mean that they are getting on a bunch more rides than everyone else.
It may not be an advantage in terms of riding the same ride but people using DAS don't have to wait in the actually line and are free to do something else during that time. That gives them the option, if capable, to experience exponentially more of the parks than those without it.
Prebooks were limited and could not be used for the same ride. They also did not include the E ticket rides. I belong to a DAS group and the majority of people actually said that they didn't even end up using the prebooks because the time didn't work out for them. That is another point about those with disabilities, they can't always make that hour return time the Genie+ has because they can have flair ups or other issues in that time frame that need to be dealt with.
GAC is in no way comparable to DAS. I don't know why it is even being brought up since it has been gone for well over a decade.
To incentivize people to do the online registration in advance instead of tying up guest services in the parks. This has been confirmed by insiders.
Yes, that’s correct.
