[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've never done Disney even though our 5 year-old kid would qualify for DAS under both the current and new system BECAUSE we know it would be such a big waste of money due to the uncertainty of his developmental and neuro issues. We did LegoLand last year for the first time on a very empty day and got to do about 3 rides + enjoying the Lego playrooms before he had a complete and total emotional breakdown. So even if we go to Disney with a DAS, the odds are high that we probably wouldn't do more than 4-5 rides total in a day. And that's if he's having a "good day." My suspicion is that the people who really need a DAS have issues (physical or mental) that prevent them from going on too many rides. They need constant breaks, either to physically rest or - in our case - de-stimulate and reset. So yeah, do a DAS and set a cap. There's so many non-ride attractions to keep DAS users entertained. If anything, we need more arears for them to rest and de-stimulate.[/quote] Except the data said [b]a portion of DAS users[/b] were averaging many more rides than those without DAS, so they weren't prevented at all. Both things can be true, people do actually need DAS and other people have abused the previous system. Changes are going into place to address the latter which should help the former.[/quote] PP here: Yes, "super users" will skew the data to show a higher median for all DAS users. Which is why setting a cap on rides for DAS users + tightening proof of eligibility requirements makes the most sense. It's a privilege afforded by Disney, not a right. [/quote] It would be curious to know the data, but I would probably expect DAS ride usage distribution to look like a barbell distribution. On the left side, you have people who really need the DAS and are taking frequent breaks from attractions. On the right side, you have the DAS phonies who are getting the pass to cram in as many rides as possible. The normal Disney ticketholder ride usage looks like a Normal distribution.
