Almost everyone on the planet has challenges in life, from physical to emotional to financial to psychological to interpersonal; very few of us waltz through life on a carpet of roses and I would wager that everyone on this board considers a Disney theme park visit an escape from those real life headaches.
We'd all love to be able to not have to plan a day out based on wait times and Fastpass availability and dinner reservations and Fastpass return windows and fireworks times and an Info Board full of 60+ minute Standby waits. I get that having a physical disability makes it harder to visit a theme park, and some folks are stuck planning around medications and medical equipment battery life and muscle stamina, and I don't think anyone has ever argued to prevent the disabled from enjoying whatever ride they want to enjoy.
But what's so wrong about Disney creating a system that allows the disabled to enjoy whatever ride they want, but only one at a time? If I have to wait 60 minutes in Standby to get on Space Mountain, why wouldn't you have to wait 45 minutes at a Tomorrowland Terrace table with a GAC card (or go on any rides or theaters with short waits in those 45 minutes) before returning to Space Mt. and going through the 10 minute Fastpass line? I honestly can't figure out why that would be upsetting for a disabled person.
Again, my post said nothing about more than one ride at a time. One cannot argue with...oh just forget it.
You're absolutely right about one thing. Until you are a disabled person, you honestly will not be able to figure out what does and does not upset them. Everyone here is entitled to an opinion on the GAC and any other topic. This thread will keep going, but I'm out of this one. We've always played by the rules laid out by each of the parks and will continue to do so as those policies evolve, one ride at a time.
Have a Magical Day!!!
