Are these sites telling people what to say too?
Many LL lines have a wait over 15-20 minutes, how do people having medical emergencies leave those?
Oh yes. It's probably against the rules to post screenshots here, but I'm not being flippant when I call them script sharing groups. Imagine narratives, complete with fill in the blanks.
Nobody considers themselves a cheater. That’s part of the problem.
i don’t see that being enforced except for really strange cases like the tour guides.Did anyone mention this lifetime ban for lying?
Disney to crack down on guests who lie about disabilities with lifetime bans from parks
If you have ever faked a disability to skip lines at Walt Disney World, you could receive a lifetime ban from the “happiest place on Earth.”www.nbcmiami.com
Disney gets to be the judge and jury if they want to as long as they aren't banning based on race, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation, etc. They can ban me because they didn't like the face I made at Pluto when he passed by.
Yes, Disney does get to be judge and jury in this case.
It could at least be used for some tik tokers, but I agree they don't want to deal with the legality of it, I'm sure. But, I think if the policy was a bit more pronounced at the park and when people are attempting to get it, you might cut down on some folks even attempting it if they have no conditions.
I think Disney will shut the entire DAS program down before they will let it get back to where it was 2 months ago. They could switch to AQR requiring an approval call (maybe some groups getting approved for RTQ that would still require in person RTQ requests) and nothing else available in advance if enough people start calling in with the right script.
They don’t have to prove anything- it’s a choice they can make at their sole discretion.
Agree 100%. In fact, I've wondered if that shouldn't go that way anyway...offer rider switch (at both parks), and AQR. Keep the phone calls, but the point would be that only situations where AQR or rider switch wouldn't work - solo travelers, single adult with all kids, disabled person & caregiver, etc. - could have an approval for RTQ in their app and then request it at each ride.
We’ll see what happens— I hope for the sake of severely disabled guests that they don’t scrap DAS entirely and ex-DAS people refrain from exaggerating and faking to get back in the DAS system, but if they don’t, Disney will be able to argue that they tried to preserve the system in a way that didn’t impact operations but then an avalanche of new requests came in off shared scripts for severe autism, which will further justify (to a judge) scrapping any type of complimentary line skip program under the standards set in prior cases.
Disney has to accommodate without forcing the disabled to pay for it, but it wouldn't have to be DAS.
Sadly I think some would prefer that. They lose access so anyone else should too…
Thank you for that.
Yes, completely agree. That’s what they are currently testing out with AQR.
I feel strongly about it, which is why I really hope Disney does crack down and make an example of some liars soon. They have enough data that they could identify the most egregious cases if they wanted to— a few people losing access to the parks for a decade would really deter people who might otherwise justify lying about the severity of their needs.Thank you for that.
