Ripe for abuse, both because it's easy to fake a doctor's note and because there are too many doctors who will just give the patient what they want, whether they really need the specific accommodation or not.
I think limiting the amount of DAS accomodations that provide LL is not a crazy thought. It would allow for the program to continue to operate but would limit the use so that Disney could make their LL sales and keep the customers buying Genie Plus happier(because nobody is happy they had to buy it in the first place). I don't see how this is all that different from when someone who needs accessible seats at a concert goes to get them. There is a limited amount of them, and the customers need to make sure they plan ahead as early as possible to secure them. Now this only works if there is still screening in place to cut down on "cheaters". Is it a perfect system? No, but nothing seems to be.
Hopefully just that, if Disney tech teams can figure out the programming.
I thought there were reports of CMs saying they hadn’t heard of it, or rides where it is not available for single riders, like ToT.
Like I said, nothing is perfect. There are people who file false disability claims that involve hundreds of thousands of dollars. But it would be something.
No more confusing than last 10yrs - DAS wasn’t automatically given for disabilities like hearing, vision, mobility, etc.
I'm not a fan of a hard limit on the number of DAS simply because I think it's legally iffy. However, if Disney were to go that way, I think they would have to allow people to apply for DAS as soon as they have a resort reservation.
I don’t understand. If they figure out the programming, what accommodation would they offer to a person who can’t stand in line for 30 minutes?
When rider swap was only for children too short to ride, families could not get rider swap at rides like HM, even if a small child was too scared to ride. CM's also often had to check to make sure the child really was too short.
It seems a bit early to draw any big conclusions.
Disney seems to disagree with that opinion
There also existed a ‘hack’ for using Rider Swap in tandem with FP+ to basically double FP access. Among other things, one method was one parent using FP to enter and then doing rider swap for the crew, and then the other parent picking an different FP and doing the same. Maximizing meant 3 FPs a day equalled 12 FP rides for the kids for families who had a baby.
:I’m talking about ride specific and even time specific accommodations. If that wasn’t available, however, they could potentially qualify for traditional DAS, if a follow up interview determined that it was needed.
The more i think about this idea the more it makes sense along with some of the other changes made. I also would bucket the allotment to people who have packages/vacations booked vs Local AP. I know its a hot topic but lets face it locals can come anytime they want and Disney would rather shut them out at times vs shutting out someone who is traveling
I'm assuming you didn't see my follow on comments.
To me, and no, I'm not a lawyer, the legality of admitting someone to the park but then not affording them a needed accommodation (because some guests truly do need a DAS, couldn't do the parks otherwise) is suspect.
Good assumption. I was reading & commenting as i came across
The regular guest is not guaranteed a chance to ride everything tho… i do get your point but to me another grey area. All im saying is this and have said it countless times. DAS users (i am one) cant expect the world from Disney and other companies and give nothing back in return and hide behind threatening of law suits because here we are now…
