And @Vegas Disney Fan didn't. Neither did we. Because the disability needs throughout the day take so much time. We have never left midday, often leave early instead as DD's disability causes serious sleep issues. But even on days we have spent a full day in the park, we didn't do more than what typical people can do because of the significant needs to be met.
Ok but that is not what he said. Or at least how I read it.
Then you read it wrong, I give up, I don’t know how to say “similar yet lessor” any clearer than I already have so I give up.
The ironic thing is we were able to use FP to manage 90% of my GFs needs, it wasn’t until they monetized it that DAS became far more necessary. The issues surrounding DAS overuse were largely a result of Disneys greed with FP.
And there's very little reason to lie to get one, unlike DAS in the parks.
I wish Disney had kept FP+, but I suspect the increased number of people who have recognized disabilities, along with an aging population, would have resulted in limits on DAS even absent monetization of the system.
I think it's your use of "similar" that creates confusion and makes it sound like you were saying you could do as much in shorter time as someone else did in a full day. "Similar" means just that, similar or put in different terms: nearly the same, closely resembling, could be mistaken for each other. Similar doesn't mean "less."
Respectfully, I also think there's a massive misconception that those with DAS are going from ride to ride to ride constantly and getting so much more out of their day than other guests are.
There really isn’t an “average” park goer. Bob’s family of 4.5 kids from Colorado doesn’t actually exist outside of the boardroom and spreadsheets.
I also think there’s a misconception that we’re using DAS to avoid discomfort, there’s a massive difference between being uncomfortable in a hot line and ending up at your hotel watching your GF shake and throw up for several hours because her body literally can’t handle the heat anymore.
Of course there is a average park goer. Any large group of customers or grouping has an average participant. Its just a statistical breakdown of your consumers and how their demographics break down.
I didn't claim otherwise, did I?
Yes exactly. DAS was designed to be able to skip the physical wait of the line when a family was unable to wait in a physical line. It should not help nor hurt ones daily goals.
I'm aware of what DAS is designed for. My child is who DAS - even in its current iteration - is designed for. It doesn't help or hurt our goals.
Sorry you feel this way - but it's wrong by every means. Statistical patterns are a very real thing and not made up. People don't need to be equals to behave very similarly - especially when aggregated.
I didn't realize I was speaking to you. I thought I was replying to @Tigger&Pooh
Good to hear your GF qualified for DAS.
