It's not anything like a VIP pass.[/quote]

But you're not standing there adjacent to the line. You can go on another ride, eat, shop, etc. [/quote]
Or you can stand adjacent to the line. You're still waiting the full time.[/quote]

Yes, I'm sure everyone does just that.[/quote]

Well, unless you polled every family that has traveled there with a person with special needs, then you don't actually know.

There is a lot of ignorance about the das use in this thread.[/quote]

Well, according to Disney there was abuse of the system so they had to update it because the demand exploded. It doesn't really matter if you thought people were patiently standing next to the queue to wait out their return time. They certainly don't have to so it seems obvious that people didn't.

"The shift comes as Disney acknowledges that some customers have misused the program; the company has already taken some steps to crack down on abuse."

There are, in fact, people who do wait at the ride outside the line for their return time. Please stop with your ignorance.[/quote]

Most are using DAS to “wait” for longer line rides while riding short line rides. Ie: Use DAS to wait for Mine Train and while that is going on, you can go do teacups, Mermaid, Philharmagic, etc.

You seem to have invested a lot of time and emotion, in the idea that people are getting away with something with das. You might find yourself happier and having a better vacation experience, if you focus on you and your family and how you can have the happiest day possible. And let the other people, who need a Das, worry about their families.[/quote]

Clearly you're biased here. But luckily this change will cut down on the sheer number of people using DAS so that it helps the people most it was meant to help and the various programs improve waits for everyone. Why wouldn't you want that?[/quote]

Here is my problem with you. While there are some cheaters, the old version of the program clearly wasn't intended to only help those with developmental disabilities because DAS was granted for  many other conditions based on truthful descriptions of those conditions. Disney is changing because they decided the old system wasn't working. The changes will cut down on the number of people using the program because they are now excluding conditions that previously were eligible for DAS. The old version was meant to help those people, but the new one isn’t, as least it doesn't appear to be based on current messaging.

So, you're mad at ME because Disney will no longer include whatever your condition is? Do you think I wrote a letter to Disney asking them to look into this?[/quote]

I am not disabled. I am just pointing out that people who were approved for DAS and used it exactly as allowed are not abusers.

Thanks Captain Obvious. But that doesn't mean everyone was honest and ethical. Clearly this is all about money for Disney. If 60% of the LL folks are there with DAS that's a lot of money left on the table because those people aren't using Genie +. [/quote]
