It's not about diagnosis, it's about need - it doesn't matter how rare a condition is, it matters how that condition impacts the ability to wait in a standard queue and how Disney can address those needs.

Agree 100% that there will be various accommodations to offer. But we also know that guests will give the CMs all sorts of reasons why ONLY the DAS will work for them or why they MUST have 6 non-immediate family members adding if they get the DAS. The CMs will need to be firm on sticking to...

It seems to me that the key to whether or not these changes will be successful, both short and long term, will be the CMs who are taking the DAS requests. There really isn't room here for "pixie dust", either in granting a DAS nor in making the group size larger. Disney will need to clearly...

You're probably right, I didn't even think of that.

No one is dismissing physical issues. But the issue you described (boot) is resolved by a mobility aid. And it's not Disney's responsibility if a guest has unruly kids.

Yes, I mistyped - thank you!

We still have no idea what accommodations for heat issues will be - if, for example, it is Rider Switch, then I would think it's unlikely that there would be any limit on party size, since all but one or two guests would be entering via the standby line v. the LL. The assumption that DAS is the...

Could have been me, because that is the answer Disney will give for mobility and/or stamina issues. The lines are ADA compliant for mobility devices, which is the only obligation Disney (or any business) has. Disney isn't obligated to provide the mobility device, just to allow it and to make...

Same - they already have the ability to do this, and it would certainly address a lot of concerns about families having to split up.

Not when you include the time it takes to ride the attraction plus what it would take a non-DAS user to walk to the next standby line. Not to mention that Disney has always stated that DAS users may have to wait longer.

In many, if not most lines, they are.

We can agree to disagree.

I agree, to a point. However, in the examples I gave above, we're still talking about reputation, just from a different point of view.

Fireworks cruise for Magic Kingdom.

And perhaps that's the problem - we all need to stop looking at Disney as a place that will always do everything better and start recognizing that they're a business that has as its first obligation the obligation to make money for its shareholders. As such, they shouldn't be expected to do...

They shouldn't need (nor do they want) your diagnosis - they want (and need) to know your needs as they pertain to waiting in a standby queue.

Or get an ECV so that no one has to push anyone around. Seems reasonable.

I have no doubt that Disney knew exactly what kind of pushback they would receive - it’s the same level as when GAC was discontinued 11 years ago.

This. Some people won't come back, but I'm guessing (just guessing) that it will be small percentage. A much larger percentage (again, just a guess) will continue to come back and utilize the new accommodations, whatever those might be. The DAS long ago became, for many, many, people, a way...

Agree 100% - the less that’s out out there, the less info the fakers can leverage.
