Disney says disabled guests now have to wait in line due to schemes for the rich [View all] davidn3600 Sep 2013 OP

It's a shorter wait Auggie Sep 2013 #1

Then many disabled are now being denied access to Disneyland/World DJ13 Sep 2013 #2

The lines are designed for wheel chairs and carts.. pipoman Sep 2013 #3

And wasn't it just the cherry on top that it was the 1% kcr Sep 2013 #6

It's not just the 1%, lots of families "play disabled" on their own snooper2 Sep 2013 #21

Maybe, but it was the stories about the rich paying to exploit the "perk" kcr Sep 2013 #23

a lot of kids with d_r Sep 2013 #8

Because a roller coaster or Mad Hatter's Tea Party is just what they need jberryhill Sep 2013 #57

There wasn't a need to make a complaint as they had handicapped access.. SomethingFishy Sep 2013 #50

A very badly written article. Disabled people will not have to "stand in line". Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #7

That's called a "fast pass" and it can be issued to anyone. Gravitycollapse Sep 2013 #11

This new card (DAS) is separate from the Fastpass system. Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #12

Having this pass made my families Disneyland experience less stressful kimbutgar Sep 2013 #9

With the new DAS system you will still not have to stand in long lines (nt) Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #13

I feel your pain Nightjock Sep 2013 #14

He will qualify for the new DAS. Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #17

From the article: kcr Sep 2013 #24

In terms of wait time at the ride, that's no different from the current GAC. Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #32

What? kcr Sep 2013 #35

Nope, the major rides that have Fastpass use the Fastpass lines. Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #37

Then why on earth would anyone pay a disabled person to cut to the front of the line kcr Sep 2013 #38

Because a GAC card functions as an unlimited, immediate Fastpass (nt) Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #51

So all the people who've claimed they can skip the line have been lying? kcr Sep 2013 #53

you are both saying the same thing. d_r Sep 2013 #58

Well, not saying the same thing, not really. kcr Sep 2013 #71

oh I see d_r Sep 2013 #73

No you now have to wait until your time you go on the ride kimbutgar Sep 2013 #25

You can do whatever you like waiting for your ride time. Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #34

Oh, well, they can just chill out and do whatever kcr Sep 2013 #40

The problem is that people with special needs find it hard to wait in long lines. Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #43

What it truly did kcr Sep 2013 #49

Again, for some reason you seem to be determined to be outraged over this subject. Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #56

Disputing facts means determined to be outraged? kcr Sep 2013 #61

"I really don't give two shits what Autism Speaks thinks about something..." Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #62

I think that there is a point being missed here energumen Sep 2013 #10

Robber Baron Jay Gould said "I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half. " Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2013 #20

The "disabled share the blame?" Appalling. Truly appalling. anneboleyn Sep 2013 #55

Punish disabled people because a few people game the system. That is stupid. liberal_at_heart Sep 2013 #18

No, punish the disabled because of a STORY of people gaming the system NightWatcher Sep 2013 #36

Nobody is being "punished". The DAS still eliminates waiting in long lines, Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #44

People been gaming that system for decades. Iggo Sep 2013 #19

I felt a little guilty whe I took my mom to MGM 15 years ago. Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2013 #22

People game the system because the system is bad. surrealAmerican Sep 2013 #26

Considering the billions the Disney Empire makes, kentauros Sep 2013 #41

Thanks. dgibby Sep 2013 #72

do the 1% actually do Disney? In my day it was more like Caneel Bay cali Sep 2013 #30

Disney forgot about this lady here CountAllVotes Sep 2013 #33

She would have qualified for the new DAS, Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #60

Could she have made it to Disneyland? CountAllVotes Sep 2013 #67

Yeah, unfortunately even Disney cannot stave off death, Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #69

The 1% is why we can't have nice things Taverner Sep 2013 #47

Rather than actually sitting in line, what they're doing is getting reservations. backscatter712 Sep 2013 #64

+1. And Disney has worked with advocacy groups like Autism Speaks Nye Bevan Sep 2013 #66

We are the system, they're gaming us. Democrats_win Sep 2013 #70
