I am a disabled veteran with physical disability and PTSD. I am one if those that Disney has excluded due to change of definition to Genetic disability. The military has determined 100% disability but not Disney. Then the exorbitant cost for LL pass is out if reach on veteran disability pay.
Thanks for screwing every disabled veteran, disabled civilians and children.
This is the end of our APs and our 40 years of coming to WDW. I am sure you won’t miss our contributions.
Here’s my problem with your inflammatory statements sir. I am also a disabled veteran w/ physical disability and severe PTSD and every single time I have used this program, to include a few months ago, the process could not have gone smoother and the cast members could not have been more accommodating.
I simply don’t go anymore. It’s sad, but Universal’s program recognizes my disabilities and accomodates me, so that’s where I have to be. I wish Disney would simply accept the same disability certificate as Universal and other parks. They don’t have to change their screening system or even get in the business of qualifying these people as the screening is externally handled – just acknowledge the certification and allow it as part of DAS.
I believe Disney has made the right choice. Some people NOT all totally lied and took advantage of a program that assisted so many. Tho I would like to see some more changes in this program to include maybe some seniors with severe disabilities also.
I am a mom of a developmental Disabled adult from birth. I have trained my child to communicate and try to do his best to fit in with the general population.
I have only applied one time for DAS when it was truly needed other wise we use LL.
I wish the best for everyone to have a most enjoyable time at Disney and your friends & family.
Disney left a HUGE hole in their disabled access policies. Now that I am older and had a stroke, I find myself being unable to use their DAS services thanks to the abusers of the former policies. Disney gets a big F for their current solution and poor treatment of needy guests. The only good side is that you can go to a ride and get a return time to on it with roughly the same wait time as the line for some of the rides. Others have line paths wide enough to maneuver an electric scooter as the line progresses. In reality it wasn’t that bad for my last trip to Anaheim. I also got to stay on Small World Holiday 5 extra times in a row. Yes, I went 6 times without leaving the boat.
About 14 years ago i was on dialysis and our son was young. I had a portable machine and did dialysis in my room daily during our trips to Disney World. At that time Disney offered my family and me a pass that allowed us to go to the front of the line do we could skip waiting and spend our limited time riding rides before I would get too tired and go back to the room for 3 hrs of dialysis. It was great. I showed a drs. note and got a pass. Too bad dishonest people have made things difficult.
