Title: This is just wrong
Post by: runner1960 on May 15, 2013, 12:08:32 PM
A recent story on Yahoo about some elite moms hiring handicapped guides to get to the front of the line at DW. Sure glad Disney is investigating this and will hopefully have it under control soon. I thought that if you used the handicapped entrance you still had to wait while the rest of your party went through the line. Am I wrong ?

I went to DL with my daughter in a stroller, and we got A rider swap pass each time our group would go through the ride...they would wait in line, and upon riding would ask for the pass, they would come switch with us, we would go through the express line, but still had to wait, it is not a cut the line or immediate access pass...just gets you on quicker, as if you had been in line with your party.

No clue how the disability pass works, I know at SFStL they allow them right on, no wait.

My daughter requires a disability pass.  What ever time others have to wait in line, that is our time too.  We go to a ride operator and they'll give us a time to come back.  SDC is really good about helping us out.  I can't believe someone would take advantage of another's misfortune.

Unfortunately, they do take advantage of it.  I've been in the handicapped line when a dozen people showed up with a person on crutches wanting all of them to ride together.  Yes, a few should be able to ride together - that's half the fun - but not a dozen people!

I even feel bad because I'm not disabled, but I like getting to ride with her.  Some people are just twisted.
