As an actual permanently Disabled person i have found for years that the Disney corporation has discriminated against disabled people for many years, i live only 11 miles from Disneyland and have been going there since before i remember and after i became disabled and electric wheelchair bound it was more important to my emotional and physical health then ever to have a place to go where it was park like with trees and hope and happiness to provide positivity for my life dealing with several life threatening illnesses, and I go alone with my mother waiting for me outside the gate, its just me in my wheelchair as i only have enough energy to last 3 to 4 hours total, but when Disney started literally "cracking" down on disabled people i no longer felt welcome and it became a place of negativity for me to the point where i went less and less then i stopped altogether and havent gone back in years and now i have nowhere to go and spend my days laying in my bed. Now i have been paying attention to all that has been reported so far and i feel that this is almost a "war" Disney has started against the sick and injured, why, why is that? To say to the public that only people who are Autistic are to be considered "disabled" shows an outright ignorance of even the most rudimentary medicine i can only come to the conclusion that they dont want someone making a noisy "fuss" in a long line that might annoy other people in line. But now i am hearing horror stories how Disney is sometimes not even allowing Autistic people to be helped out so that they dont have to be in long lines what is that all about? There are hundreds of "hidden" illnesses that make people with them have a very hard time dealing with day to day life. I could go on for hours about people being told to "well wear diapers then" or "practice being immobile in a long line at home first so you can get used to it" etc etc but i dont need to clearly Disney Corp is blatantly Discriminating against the Disabled for their profit and feel they are too "big" for any one to do anything about it, I call on everyone who is negatively affected by all this to find out all the things they can do to put a stop to this contact local, state and federal offices that protect the ones who can protect themselves not so I or others like me can go and spend a lot of money at this corporations venues I dont want to go anywhere near these places anymore but to stop this sort of inhumane treatment of those who still have a wish or a dream that life can be hopeful no matter how ill you may be.

seems to me that just about everyone younger than 40 has some sort of psycho-emotional disability nowadays. If you can't go to disney then you can t go.

Oh my the DAS procedure alone seems so ... unfriendly to those are not neurotypical! Why can't they work with people with disabilities to make things easier. The other day I went to a protest for Turkish stray dogs - on my way there, I noticed how you have to go up these HUGE steps up and no ramp, so my expectations were at a minimum. In the area itself there was no shade, no place at all to sit down, and no toilets!!!!! No toilets! The world needs to hire people like us to tell them to think about every single detail. 😿

I did the call twice and was denied twice. I have an actual diagnosis with paperwork for ASD and ADHD, I am 100% disabled vet with sugar instabilities, mobility issues, PTSD and told them and the nurse they had me talk to all about that. It seems because wam an adult that was diagnosed later in life and have no coping training and have just had to limp along when over stimulated or having a meltdown and didn’t have an action plan I was made to feel like I was faking it. So instead my family and I decided the only way for me to deal was to buy the Genie+ and Lightening Lane. So $800 later we were finally able to get through lines without my anxiety making it impossible. Disney should be ashamed and I will be surprised if lots of people don’t start suing.

I am disabled. I have sensory issues. ADHD. Let me tell you waiting in a line for a ride is only a very small percentage of the issues of going to a theme park. The gift shops are crowded. The food lines are long getting into the park is a process going through security, the heat in Florida can be overwhelming. We started paying for the genie plus and it has worked out wonderful but if your health issues are pretty severe, I would say going to the theme park should be the last thing on your list. As I am aging, I am looking at other vacation spots that would be more relaxing.

It's July 15. I requested a cast member interview at 10:24 this morning. At around noon, I had to use the restroom and when I came back to the computer it logged me out of the system because I didn't type a word while waiting and I had to start over. About every 20 minutes, it makes you type the word "YES" to stay in the line. Then, about every hour or so, it says "Error, use the back button" even though there is no back button to hit. I refresh the page instead, and the chat box comes back up... just in time to type "YES" again. It is so frustrating, and I am fully expecting a denial of service even though I have been granted DAS in the past. Honestly, all I care about it having the line reservation that doesn't expire. It never gave me any real advantage except that. It is now 5:24pm and still nothing. So, seven hours I've been waiting.

I feel like Disney makes the call process difficult on purpose. To force people to buy genie plus. If Disney really wants to make this process user friendly, they should have a call back option

Thank you for sharing your experience. We will be visiting from Europe with our semi-verbal child who has a diagnosis of Autism and A.D.H.D also. It's helpful to hear another Autistic person giving their views, especially for a parent who's child cannot voice their struggles with such busy places as Disney parks! 💙

I had no idea how many people are "disabled." Or that "disability" is in the eye of the individual. With like 10% of the country disabled, and the other 90% sincerely believing they're disabled, why not operate like Tokyo Disney and make EVERYONE WAIT IN LINE. That's one of the reasons why Disney Japan still has the magic while original Disney is worried about offending a 50 year old man who insists on using a woman's restroom. Or one disabled person claiming another person is "not disabled." Sorry, but if you have the intestinal fortitude to go on "Tower of Terror," you are fit enough to wait in a modern, air-conditioned, line.
