[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People really took advantage of the DAS program. I don’t blame Disney for changing it.[/quote]

I do. People taking advantage of it is no reason to completely take away DAS from physically disabled people. It’s crazy to me that someone with like cerebral palsy or cancer or MS or whatever can’t use this service anymore because they don’t also have autism.[/quote]
It doesn't sound like the new policy removes all access to physical disabilities.  DAS is just excluding people whose issues can be solved with a pass to leave the line and return or a[b] mobility device (e.g., scooter or wheelchair) so they don't have to stand[/b].[/quote]

Part of the problem is forcing people to use mobility devices when they don't need them under normal circumstances. I've seen several stories about amputees who are perfectly "mobile" but who have difficulty waiting in long lines, especially in heat, as the day progresses because their prosthesis becomes less comfortable and more painful being denied DAS because they could just get a wheelchair. That seems wrong to me.

They can get a scooter. There is nothing “wrong” about that. [/quote]

Huh. You don't think someone with a genuine physical disability that causes significant pain deserves some accommodation? By the way, ECVs cost $65 per day to rent, but I guess those slacker amputees should just deal.[/quote]

[b]If they’re walking around a park all day on a prosthesis, there’s no reason they can’t stand in line with the same prosthesis.[/b] Or sit on the chair/cane. Or lean on the ropes like the rest of us. If they can’t walk around the park all day and can’t stand in line at all, they get a scooter or a wheelchair. 
Quit playing the victim here. There are options. You just don’t like them. [/quote]

Come back and tell us all about what amputees can and cannot do when you become an amputee yourself.

Read the rest of the post you quoted. There are plenty of options. Sounds like you just don’t like them. [/quote]
