I've been told that Disney only has to have handicap restrooms, companion restrooms and handicap accessible entries to the different attractions. They don't have to offer any type of program like the GAC or DAS card. The parents are only mad with the new program because they can't flash the card to get on the ride immediately.
That is very true Mandy, they only have to follow the ADA guidelines. The GAC or DAS cards and such were all extras that Disney provided, and the old system was ruined by the people that thought they were better than everyone else. The unfortunate thing is, some disabled people were involved with that too, since they were the ones being hired by that 1% of the 1% to get them through the lines in the first place.
Phil I agree with you 100% and I would step aside in a minute to let someone that goes through that kind of hell everyday enjoy a Magical moment. The thing is trying to distinguish who is legitimately disabled without asking and they are not allowed to ask. Yes , if it was a perfect world, everyone would step aside whenever someone with a disability came along and would offer their place in line or offer to help, but the world is just not that perfect.
I have also been yelled at and smacked for offering a helping hand to some people that I know could have used the help, but were too stubborn, or too proud to accept it.
It is a shame that it has all come to this, and hopefully things will work out sooner or later.
...and I am not ready to admit that yet.
