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.

Don’t pee on my face and tell me it’s raining. [/quote]

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]

NP - I have been to Disney World a lot, and frankly your response above is exactly why the experience has degraded.  Your happy day tactics, do in fact impact my ability to have a happy day.  Anyone who has been to the parks at all has lived through huge families rolling grandma up in her wheelchair (or worse her scooter), so that everyone can board, or groups of teenagers with one of them in a wheelchair with a "boot" and then you see a different person from the same group with the "boot" later, or yes, even kids on the spectrum and their families.  As many have mentioned above, no one's kids wants to wait in lines, and if yours is experiencing distress, it is because you have chosen an inappropriate vacation.

Dying kids in a wheelchair getting their "Make a Wish" trip - yes, come on down to the front of the line.  Anybody else should understand what is involved in a trip to Disney and either adjust or choose a different trip.[/quote]

Was your last trip more than ten years ago? Because Disney no longer grants DAS for the scenarios you describe.[/quote]

What do you mean 10 years ago. The changes take effect May 20 this year.[/quote]

People using scooters and wheelchairs are not granted DAS under the existing system or the new one (unless they have some other qualifying condition). That changed years ago.[/quote]

+1. Mobility issues have been excluded from DAS for years and years. People are told to use wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, etc. Lines are wheel chair accessible and the few that are not give individual return times without DAS.

Also, point of clarity, VIP tours don't wait in the LL. They go (almost) straight to the front. They are able to cut in front of LL users. [/quote]
