Nobody is saying that some can't try. But reality is that there absolutely will be people where going into the line and then trying to get out after waiting 15,20+ minutes is not going to work. People on ECVs or wheelchairs for example. We all know that most queues are very narrow and trying to get out quickly, because you are having a medical issue, trying to past others ECVs, is not reasonable. Even trying to get past people when you are mobile is not easy.
Can you point me to that cite? I think i asked before and maybe missed the response

Yes - this wording isn't new. It was there under the previous DAS system also.Did anyone mention this lifetime ban for lying?
Disney to crack down on guests who lie about disabilities with lifetime bans from parks
If you have ever faked a disability to skip lines at Walt Disney World, you could receive a lifetime ban from the “happiest place on Earth.”
Are these sites telling people what to say too?
Many LL lines have a wait over 15-20 minutes, how do people having medical emergencies leave those?
Oh yes. It's probably against the rules to post screenshots here, but I'm not being flippant when I call them script sharing groups. Imagine narratives, complete with fill in the blanks.
Nobody considers themselves a cheater. That’s part of the problem.
i don’t see that being enforced except for really strange cases like the tour guides.Did anyone mention this lifetime ban for lying?

Disney gets to be the judge and jury if they want to as long as they aren't banning based on race, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation, etc. They can ban me because they didn't like the face I made at Pluto when he passed by.
Yes, Disney does get to be judge and jury in this case.
It could at least be used for some tik tokers, but I agree they don't want to deal with the legality of it, I'm sure. But, I think if the policy was a bit more pronounced at the park and when people are attempting to get it, you might cut down on some folks even attempting it if they have no conditions.
I think Disney will shut the entire DAS program down before they will let it get back to where it was 2 months ago. They could switch to AQR requiring an approval call (maybe some groups getting approved for RTQ that would still require in person RTQ requests) and nothing else available in advance if enough people start calling in with the right script.
They don’t have to prove anything- it’s a choice they can make at their sole discretion.
Agree 100%. In fact, I've wondered if that shouldn't go that way anyway...offer rider switch (at both parks), and AQR. Keep the phone calls, but the point would be that only situations where AQR or rider switch wouldn't work - solo travelers, single adult with all kids, disabled person & caregiver, etc. - could have an approval for RTQ in their app and then request it at each ride.
We’ll see what happens— I hope for the sake of severely disabled guests that they don’t scrap DAS entirely and ex-DAS people refrain from exaggerating and faking to get back in the DAS system, but if they don’t, Disney will be able to argue that they tried to preserve the system in a way that didn’t impact operations but then an avalanche of new requests came in off shared scripts for severe autism, which will further justify (to a judge) scrapping any type of complimentary line skip program under the standards set in prior cases.
Disney has to accommodate without forcing the disabled to pay for it, but it wouldn't have to be DAS.
Sadly I think some would prefer that. They lose access so anyone else should too…
