New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

I’m sorry, are they not meant to make business decisions in a business environment based on business documents?



This isn’t about being severe or not. This type of phrasing is so dramatic.

They’re not deciding if you’re “disabled enough”. They’re determining if you can be accommodated a different way than DAS or if that is the right fit for you.

With autism there is absolutely anecdotal evidence of them effectively saying, you're not autistic enough.

Ok but reading your last sentence.

I mean.... that is an absolute advantage. Just like buying LLMP is an advantage over Standby. Or people who pay for a plaid have an advantage. I don't think DAS is/was intended to make it to where you could accomplish a full day of parking in a shorter amount of time. It was so people who cant stand in a physical line didn't have to. That's it. Someone with DAS should not be able to ride more than any other person waiting standby.

Disney feels different and even with this “new” version of DAS & enforcement they encourage and fully allow anyone with DAS to enjoy other attractions shows rides entertainment while you are in your DAS VQ….

Where is this evidence (other than hearsay on fb pages or from a friend)?

I'm sorry, a theme park is not a factory or a warehouse.

A theme park serves humans that the business itself calls "guests".

WDW is a multi-national for profit fortune 500 publicly traded company. It is a business, and needs to operate like any large business does, whether its in the service industry, or production industry.

With tens of millions of customers every day, you are not working on a bespoke business model. You work on figures, trends, averages and tendencies. The way any large business does. Its absurd to think any other way, not on the scale of business that WDW runs.

Sad but true. Thanks for your correction.

And yes, Disney's theme park business has been operating like this for a very long time.

Its too bad Disney's movie business does not operate this way.

They aren’t saying a person isn’t autistic enough; they’re saying that based on what they hear in the interview the person can be accommodated short of receiving DAS. For example, they may be able to wait outside the line and meet their party at the merge point.

In the GAC to DAS case, the court recognized that the plaintiff had autism, but concluded that he could be accommodated short of receiving GAC. This is the same sort of situation but with DAS.
