I realize that, that's why I said the court agreed with Disney.

Security lines at the airports can get very long. I haven’t heard what accommodations they make for people with autism or anxiety. Maybe someone here can weigh in?What are the requirements, legally? I am just curious. Such as what does an airline or a theater have to do? For ADA , I know about requiring ways into a pool, having ways other than stairs into buildings impaired, but not sure what it is how specifically these requirements are met in other instances. I did find a bit of case law on it and Disney argument which the court agreed with was this.
From the link below:
In court documents, Disney argues that it’s impossible for them to prevent these meltdowns and that they have no legal obligation to do so. They claim the court’s decision to move the suits to trial “assumes that Disney somehow has the ability, let alone legal obligation, to prevent meltdowns with instant and unrestricted ride entry.”

The idea of what is legal has been tossed around back and forth in this thread many times already, but IMO, Disney's accommodation has always served a further purpose. To some degree, Disney's interests are served if the most people possible have a positive experience when visiting the parks.What are the requirements, legally? I am just curious.

It is not in WDW's interest if people are suffering in the queues. Someone throwing up, or fainting, or having a panic attack is going to be disruptive.
Disney can't prevent all meltdowns of course, but Disney also wants to sell WDW as a happy place to be.

TSA Cares offers some options. A little like WDW, people call and discuss their specific needs. I don't know all they offer, but private screenings are an option. Some staff have extra training and expertise.

Big difference waiting in one 15-20 min line vs waiting in much longer lines all day.

It's going to be a fiasco because a lot of former DAS users will buy Genie+ (if they still patronize Disney).Then, there will be the "waaaghs" because former DAS users are making Genie+ run out faster.

They do have the capacity if they made it similar to every other park and limited how many can buy it. Limit it to 10% of guests per day and price it accordingly

Sigh, yes.
But this thread keeps going in circles. with people saying the same thing over and over.
I know, it happens on many threads, but this one is starting to remind me of the covid thread.
This is a big change, and there is much to discuss.

It's a finite supply of accounted for capacity.

I don't know why Disney wouldn't sell tiered tickets with Genie+ and/or Individual Lightning Lanes included in the price instead of the shuffle stupidity.. The tickets are already tiered at base and park hopping. Buy once and done and maybe have a few extra each day in case a few guests decide they want to add on.

Clearly TSA Precheck> Genie+.

What if they increase the number of Genie+ sold to accommodate the former DAS folks. Is it possible there will be the SAME number of folks in LL queues and the only difference is most are now paying to be in the LL queue?

Even if this is what happens the capacity will still be more equitably distributed because DAS users use so much more capacity than even genie+ users can.

When the DAS changes were first announced, changes to G+ were also mentioned.
that's part of why i am reading this thread.
If G+ came with prebooks, it might mitigate the DAS changes to some degree.

That’s likely happening once the hotel reservation changes take effect at the beginning of ‘25.

They don't have the capacity to give out pre books.

They won’t do that for all the reasons in the 1,000+ page Genie+ thread.
My guess is no. Genie has always been separate from das.
Well they didn’t limit waits to 15 minutes lolWhat are the requirements, legally? I am just curious. Such as what does an airline or a theater have to do?
