If that is the case, then I would blame the desperate need for more maintenance. When we last visited I don't think I'd ever seen the rides go down as often as they did, and it was very often. That backs things up substantially across the whole park because now people are going to ride other...

I think a lot of the backups with HM have to do with the increase in wheelchair/ECV users that need help transferring. They need to completely stop the ride and that backs things up a lot. I wish they could retro fit it so that the loading is similar to the skyliner, though I'm sure that would...

I meant it more in the way of reading a bullet point and then saying "for example this is what happened in X situation and what we needed to do to mitigate the situation". But I see your point, as has been stated by you and many others the lack of clear communication is what is leading to these...

A lot of things are up in the air right now. Historically the answer would be no. Now? I would say it doesn't hurt to have it, but don't expect to be able to use it. If nothing else if you're feeling tongue tied during the interview it will give you some reference points to expand on why he...

I like these representations best:

Apologies, I just re-read your post and must have misread the first time because I thought you were indicating that Disney would not want to overinflate their time.

Oh I love the spoon theory! I think the most accurate analogy that people will understand of the time a disabled person has vs. non disabled is the rich vs. poor. A rich person's time is not the same as a poor person's time. This is because the rich person has the resources to make their time...

You're painting people with disabilities with a very broad brush and assuming their time spent waiting on a DAS pass would be similar to those without disabilities. For example, we would definitely use some of that time getting DD to eat, but not because it's a pleasant experience. She has...

That's why having the numbers would be so interesting. What was the FP+ power users to those that didn't realize FP+ existed ratio? And what was the average usage number of FP+ among those that did use it. Comparing that number to G+ could very well show that G+ is a vastly inferior upcharge...

The fact that Disney has to put such low expectations on a paid service is what's mind boggling to me. I wonder what the average FP+ usage was per guest per day, that would be a very interesting comparison.

Agreed, it's honestly the biggest boon about the whole thing for DD but I've seen how bad the lines get when a ride has to temporarily shut down. This happened on our last trip, SDMT went down at some point and when we went to check-in they warned us LL was an hour wait (standby was 2-3 hours...

I honestly can't tell if you're missing the boat here or if you're just trolling. You previously implied that unlimited LL access was over kill and now you're implying LL access is worse than stand by. The fact is that those that are using DAS are gaining access to the ride through the LL...

Disney can not legally limit DAS (which is a way of making a ride accessible to those with certain disabilities) without also putting limits on those who are not using DAS, that would be discrimination. Those using a DAS pass are not just walking into the LL when they want to ride. They must...

Thank you for the explanation, went back through my posts and edited what could be misused. I suggest everyone else do the same. :thumbsup2

Okay, the timing of the post seemed directed at me or the person I was responding to, no harm no foul. This is a forum about disabilities, some sharing and connecting via shared experiences I would think is expected but completely understand too many details can be dangerous and it's easy to get...

My post is pointing out that people don't always know when they are 'oversharing' or how it could be used to get DAS. It's more helpful to point out when a post crosses a line then to make a vague inference that 'someone' but not who has overshared. Is there a way to tag someone?

DAS is usable at any ride with a standby line or VQ if the VQ is already reserved, there is no limits on how many rides the DAS user can use the pass on in a day. From Disney's website for WDW: Guests registered in the DAS program can make return time selections in the My Disney Experience...

I really wish people would stop with the generalized finger pointing of oversharing and just say what they feel is over sharing so we can go back and edit posts. Makes it easier on the mods and less stressful on all the posters wondering if it's them. If it's me, tell me, and then tell me what...

Had the same experience when DD and a friend went to a museum that involved a lot of walking so DD was in her wheelchair. After several hours of walking the friend said something to the effect of "I wish I could ride in a wheelchair like DD". DH pulled her aside and explained why she needed the...

Twice exceptional is noted in her IEP but most schools don't understand how to handle that. We've looked into specialty schools but at 50k a year we make do with public, and to be fair it is a very good public school. They have her in an 'advanced student' cluster with similarly intelligent...
