I have a daughter with down syndrome who walks slowly when we get in line for rides and people all the time walk right past us to get ahead of us. People are so rude
I never really noticed how abled bodied people can be so ignorant to disabled people until I became disabled myself due to a long term illness, this doesn’t just happen in disney but even in normal situations, but I also experienced it in disney, how invisible disabled people are to those that’s not disabled, I’ve had people walj infront of my mobility scooter, barge pass me,, say sorry we didn’t see you, open your eyes a mobility scooter isn’t that small for you not to notice me in it, but it’s people in general if your not abled bodied, walking at their level, disabled people are invisible, we are human & have feelings too
Thxs to the cast members that do actually see us as people too
For honeymoon me and husband went to Disneyland and got me a mobility rental to make it easier for me. I got hungry while at cali adventure. Husband helped me to a seat so I could eat. We parked my scooter out of the way, behind me. Watched a kid run past and then something made me turn around the kid was on my rental rocking it and smacking it trying to make it work. I called back to him ” Excuse me?” And he booked it off it and I watched him run over to his parents and point at me. The parents were starting my way when my husband showed up with the food. He asked what was wrong?” Because I looked like I was having an anxiety spell and I said loudly looking at him “It’s a good thing I have my key, a little kid tried to steal my mobility aide. They need more CMs around here.” Husband could see them for me and they averted course and bailed.
If I hadn’t drawn attention to them and their kid I am pretty sure they would have gotten on me about how dare I call out to their kid trying to ‘borrow’ my scooter.

I walk extremely slow due to my disability. People are so rude, the comments, the ones who push past me etc. Typically they rush past me just to get one car ahead of me 🙄.
My now adult son has autism and limited speech, and while most of our Disney trips have gone well, one year he wanted a picture with the Sword in the Stone near the Carousel. I got him positioned, stepped back, raised my camera, and then two kids ran up and at the urging of their mother, actually pushed my son out of the way so she could snap them. Mother completely ignored me when I said “Excuse me, I was about to take a picture of my son.” She and her kids ran off when they were done, leaving my son confused as to what he did wrong and me steaming. Over 15 years ago, and it still makes me sad on behalf of my son.
I’m so sorry that happened to you. Many idiots Bring their children to Disney World and force them to do things I don’t want them to do or they teach their kids to treat people badly I don’t know why I don’t know what they get out of it it’s just terrible I’ve been going every year ever since it reopened and there were times I seen kids screaming and crying in line in the middle of July because they were forced to wear a mask outside and I can never Can why a parent and bring their children there with a mask on in the middle of July it’s like just wait and see you don’t have to wear a mask what a horrible memory they will always have a Walt Disney World! And yeah many people don’t deserve to go if they’re going to treat people badly
Human beings sure know how to take the magic of Disney world and the world alike. In my days kids and teenagers alike would get clocked by their parents, if they acted like a fool. People would have never acted like this, because they were tought how to act respectful. This is the fought of how our society is today.
My magical moment: we were watching the night parade when we’re were asked to relocate. We were quite disappointed but moved to the liberty bell. The cast member who moved us asked who my daughter was trying to see: of course PETER PAN! – next thing we knew – in the middle of the parade- he stood tall in stance with his hands on his hips and said “Who is this girl that wanted to meet me?” Her eyes were as big as Mickey Ears and her little jaw dropped, legs quivered. She could not speak a word. All that pixie dust just sprinkled all over our family!!! She’s 24 now and still blushes when she gets to see him!
The other problem we noticed are people who abuse the system, never saw so many scooters and wheelchairs before. Cast members are always on their toes trying to figure out what is real and what is fake. Not an excuse for what happened but there should be a better way to ferret out the fakers from the people who need the assistance.
Please define abuse the system. I have a handicapped license plate because I can’t walk long distances. I also have a severe problem with my colon. I can’t be on an ECV and try to leave the line because my colon needs to be relieved ASAP. Last trip my hubby’s back became enflamed 2 days before we left for our trip. You can’t get a cortisone shot that quick. So he had to get an ECV. He couldn’t move without severe pain even with drugs. He finally gave in after the plane ride. I am sure people thought we abused the system, even CMs. People do cut the lines with people on a ECV. Really kind of stupid because in most cases, you aren’t getting loaded the same way. I remember when we were at Winnie the Pooh and it was down. And while we were there still it came back up. Now if you are familiar with the ride you have to transfer to a wheelchair to use a DAS/LL. So hubby went into the wheelchair and tried to wheel it. I used the wheelchair for support. The CM after scanning us said to me “You’re the one with a DAS.” My reply was yes I know. The reason that you are seeing more ECVs is because they are affordable to rent. People with mobility issues just want to enjoy the park as much as the next person. You really can’t look at me and know I have a colon problem, nor can you look at hubby and decide how bad his back is. Okay you might once he stands. Yup we are old.Just saying
Yeah I know one of my friends when they went to Disney the Father claimed he was disabled just to get on rides quickly and avoid waiting. There should be a better way to stop abusing the system.
Cause people like me who are autistic or other disable people actually need the accomodations so they can enjoy the trip rather then just skipping through lines for fun
My wife is in a wheelchair. And as if being a butt level all day behind walls of people wasn’t enough. We see people try to “skip over” her all the time, or rush to get in front. Or straight up cut through in front of a rolling wheelchair. Sometimes, you can’t stop on a dime and it’s hard to feel bad if I “clip” them with her chair…
Comments for Disney Guests Shove Past Woman In Wheelchair to Meet Peter Pan

Not surprised. My daughter was knocked out of the way for a table at Pecos Bill. We had to eat standing up on their abandoned toppings bar.

Well that is quite pathetic…
