Yep... Just wondered why Disney would make thing hullabaloo about it only being for developmental disabilities (and de facto autism) while we're slowly learning that's not the case...

Yes, but I still see a major problem with exiting the line and returning to your place. People get mad when you leave and try to get back to your group now. What happens when a lot of people with this pass do the same? I have seen people being blocked and called names before when returning. If the numbers are large then this might be a problem.
Are they really going to have enough CM's to escort the people back to their place in line? That's the only way I can see this work. Maybe I have the whole concept wrong, so please let me know if I'm worrying for nothing.

I really can’t speak to the exit process. I’m pretty sure when you rejoin the line, you don’t rejoin the normal queue and walk through everyone. You would meet up with them at a designated meet up point. I keep suggesting they would potentially use the exit queue for it to allow for adequate space. This could also minimize the hypothesized hostility.
I have literally know idea how they plan to choose the meetup point, I just don’t see why exit queues couldn’t be utilized.

Many attractions don’t have exit queues.

Ok so maybe attractions that do can use that

In almost all cases they will send returning guests through the LL queue.

Then why don’t you just say that?

How does this work in Disneyland, where Disneyland Park only has 13 attractions with a lightning lane? (More than 40 rides in the park). The exits are often the mobility user entrance with so many lines not being accessible, and already often busy (as there isn't much room in any of them for more than a party or two, esp in Fantasyland.

I hope this isn’t true. But I’m getting more and more on my feed about people being denied and the cast member suggesting Genie +. Which is a bit of a murky grey area to wade in I would think.

The biggest problem I agree with in that TikTok is the questionable ability to manoeuvre a wheelchair or other mobility device backwards out of line. If that poses a problem frequently, I think that’s what will need to be addressed first.
Other than that though, it seems like that child’s denial makes sense. Her issues waiting are bathroom related emergencies as well as heat. It sucks, because there will undoubtedly be cases like that one where emotionally, the child deserves a bone thrown to them. I have no doubt this will be one of many semi-viral denials where there’s a child involved with a condition or several conditions that have people questioning why Disney can’t just throw a bone to a child going through hardship. In a practical sense, they are giving the child the ability to get out and get back into line if a bathroom need arises, and given that most queues are indoor or shaded I imagine that they’re deferring to the CMs at the front of the ones that are not (or have lengthy outdoor portions when they’re longer) to deal on a case by case basis instead of the blanket ability to avoid the queue of the past.
I feel for the family, but it does sound like the new accommodations will do what they need them to do, just much less comfortably.

Genie+ is a product sold to everyone. If you don’t get your preferred accommodation, it’s available for purchase by disabled guests.
I doubt any CM is agreeing that the offered accommodation is insufficient and then suggesting Genie+.

Except tracking them before the transition really completes and failing to compare to actual like to like references is just noise.
Week to week is not the comparison that tells you something… because there are other major influences… which is why the real matter is avg and peaks over many samples comparing to their historical peers (yr to yr on similar dates/windows).
Snapshots of MDE randomly at one point in the day is none of those things.

Tik Tok has become young people's version of old people's Facebook.
I can't take news from there as truth. Even people's firsthand experience.

I agree! If you have bathroom issues /anxiety/adhd/heat or sun sensitivity/bad back/thyroid issues etc etc and you aren't OK with the RTQ option buy genie plus. It is the entitlement for me.

Genie+ is also markedly different on each coast. Disneyland Park has 1/2 the number of lightning lanes/ILL that MK does, despite having more rides.
Now thankfully when we travel to DLR we have typically found the high concentration of rides can help wait times, especially in the morning before locals are out of work. even in their off season (when they have no fireworks during the week), though, rides in Fantasyland - where there are no lightning lanes -can back up quite a lot because they are slow loading and low capacity - yet genie+ isn't an option for any of them.
There is no genie+ for character meets at DLR either (whereas there are for the princesses in MK). And that princess line in DL's Fantasy Faire is regularly an hour or more, and genie+ isn't an option.
So while I can see people saying genie+ can be a substitute at WDW, it's much different at DLR - yet the two are being treated as though they are the same.

Since we are using anecdotal screenshots in this thread… here’s Sunday of Memorial Day weekend at around 1:00 pm local time.
It's more that Disney is providing an accommodation for the needs (eg this child may have a bathroom emergency therefore return to queue is sufficient). It's annoying and inconvenient, yes, the fact they leave can then rejoin their family to ride is absolutely a sufficient accommodation.
If that's not good enough, then G+ is a good option to consider as it makes things more convenient. I'd consider it similar to an airline - someone who has bladder issues may want to consider purchasing a higher fare class that allows them to pre-select an aisle seat near a bathroom as opposed to settling for a middle seat.

Like I said, I’m not necessarily taking a firm stand it’s legally wrong, but I feel as if it’s murky area Disney would want [it’s cast members] to avoid
