New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

I mean, people crashing into stuff with their ECV’s is a right of passage at WDW. Have they fixed that Hollywood Studios shop wall that partially collapsed after being hit with an ECV yet?

Ok. The point of my post was that the strategy to exit the line does in fact appear to be “push past people.” I didn’t say there was chaos in the parks.

Exiting a line out the back of the queue is not “pushing past people.” I mean, I get this is semantics, but people were worried that other people in the line would get annoyed/start fights over people “pushing past them.” That connotates people pushing past others towards the front of the line. Nobody is going to start an issue over someone trying to exit the line by walking backwards.

The fact you can’t differentiate between cast members mocking and laughing at guests to their face.

What are you talking about? That is not remotely what I wrote.

The thread is called, "Do CM's really hate GAC?" if anyone wants to read it. In the forum CM's expressed their frustrations with misbehaving guests.

For what it is worth, I am glad you and your fellow CM's didn't make fun of any guests' disabilities.

Saturday Afternoon Memorial Day weekend 5:20pm, here’s all the attractions with over an hour wait:

I don’t think this weekend will mean much as a lot of APs are blocked out for Memorial weekend (the lesser cost FL APs). Most likely why waits are shorter.

Right, but again there's a huge difference between CMs stating their feelings while off the clock or backstage. No cast member is laughing at, belittling or mocking guests to their face.

This really doesn’t have much to do with the new DAS system, does it?

 

[nickys]

This is true. I suspect many international guests and first timers were doing day of.

And still will be.

That’s the procedure Disney have instigated. Unless international guests know in advance and manage to use a VPN to register in advance, they will be doing it on the day.

It's also the approximate temperature of the surface of the sun down here right now and the parks aren't very crowded. No more than the average weekend anyway.

Let's say the average WDW world guest is able to hit 5 big attractions on any given day. Than give those who need a DAS five "front of the line passes" a day anything else use the RTQ accommodation. I would be willing to bet those who genuinely need it would be OK with that and those who don't would not.

while I don't know for sure but I would bet a high percentage of local AP's have DAS for themselves, family and friends..

Again, I am glad this isn't occurring.

There is a post on the DISboards thread, with a screenshot from another source, describing one person’s experience at Mine Train, where everyone had to leave the queue… single parent, with minor children. They waited 20 minutes before parent started not feeling well. Made it back to CM, got a return time equivalent to the current wait. So they did not get credit for the 20 minutes already waited. Also said the most difficult part was exiting. Wasn’t sure they would get out before getting sick, because of the difficulty maneuvering around people.

 

[DisneyHead123]

None of this was an issue in the decades before people stopped discipling their kids

Can you clarify what you mean by this? What does parents disciplining their children have to do with disability rates?

I’m going to try this daily for a bit, 11:15 lines above 60 min. The ride that’s cut off at the top is RotR at 65 min, every other ride 1 hour wait or less.

Children, as far as I know, were not smoking yet obesity began to plague that group ever since.

I’d blame lack of exercise more than smoking, processed foods, vitamin D, etc.

When we were kids we had 3 channels of tv and board games, if there was nothing good on TV we were outside playing games and riding our bikes, there’s now hundreds of channels of tv, endless streaming, YouTube, thousands of video games, combine that with parents worry of what will happen if kids are outside and you get a bunch of kids sitting on the couch rather than running around.

Makes me glad I was a kid when I was.

Man, this tangent just seems unproductive at best and hurtful at worst.

As a first grade teacher I see every day the effects of unlimited amounts of screen time negatively affecting children both academically and socially emotionally. First graders when I first started teaching in 1998 versus now are not even com[arable. The EBD children then aren't even comparable to most so called neuro typical first graders now. I know this isn't a popular opinion but I believe it's mainly due to screen time and this new generation of parenting. The fact that many constantly validate their child's every emotion or feeling is causing a a generation of big emotion children who are unable to process simple disappointments in life .
