    Aututstic people aren’t the only ones that can’t stand in a long line. There are others that have disorders that make it uncomfortable in the lines where people are. I have PTSD, Anxiety and Bipolar. I have been harrassed by the cast members in city hall, and at the rides because you can’t see my disabilities. At city hall, I even had one idiot try to map out my whole day with fastpasses. Another time I was taken to a separate room where I was accused of making up my disorders. Disney changes their Disability policy at the drop of a hat.

    Having a son in a wheelchair I understand the whole disability thing. However, we go to Disneyland twice a year because my son LOVES everything Disney. So many people took advantage of the old disability pass and I’m glad they changed it. It was ridiculous. My son can’t wait in line for a long time because of toileting issues, and the new disability pass is awesome. We always have 2 passes going at once and rarely have to wait. We do wait at times and that’s okay on occasion. I truly believe Disney does their best and tries to accommodate everyone without having too many take advantage.

      Disney Corporate can and should do more. Spending big $ to fly, stay on property, and eat, play and shop all at WDW, they can up their game. I have multiple disabilities and no, a wheelchair won’t make everything “all better”. I’ve been dissatisfied for awhile now about the experience now compared to the overall experience just 10 years ago. Double the price, add a few million more people and more “partner hotels” so those staying on property pay for more and get less, whatever. If people cheated the old system, that’s on them. They’ll reap what they sow. Btw, I’ve never used the Dissbility system because I didn’t even know it existed for years since I wasn’t familiar with certain services. It would’ve been nice to know, but at the time, I just used extra magic hours when they actually meant something! The current system gives me a fast pass that I would still have to wait for- hence my problem. I can only spend a short time at the park, certain rides I can’t ride and factoring in Disney transportation times, well I can’t hang with healthy people. I look healthy, but I’m not. So even if this wasn’t about those with autism, they are falling short in helping those with disabilities.
