    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    This will mainly seem harsh to people from the US. Someone from a country like the UK, where private ownership of handguns is banned, would barely turn a hair at this story.

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    NEW TIKTOK “HACK”: start poking the person in front of you in line in the rear and they will let you go ahead of them! You will get to the front in no time!

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    In that situation I would be tempted not to bother with the work and time involved in changing the DAS party, and just enjoy attractions with no wait or a short wait (Nemo, Moana, the Land, Three Caballeros etc.) and focus more on enjoying the time with my friend. I always have a great time in...

    Ordering off the Kids

    I believe that when you pay the adult price, they give you a double portion of the kids' size?

    I wonder whether the DL versus WDW rider switch discrepancy is due the DL queue areas being older, smaller, and less accessible so less suitable for a “return to line” system, compared to WDW.

    Songs with the word wait, about waiting, any words that mean the same sort of thing

    I posted Pink Floyd “Waiting for the Worms” but edited to delete the video as some may find it disturbing.

    I expect that the suggestion would be for the grownups to take turns being the ones to go through the LL with your son. Most families spend years taking turns in this manner with child swap for the rides where one child is too short to ride. You don’t need the entire party to ride together to...

    Let's speculate about Polynesian some more!

    How many deaths have there been on the "death buckets" so far?

    Let's speculate about Polynesian some more!

    I do think Walt would have liked the Epcot with Horizons, World of Motion and Universe of Energy better than the one with Guardians of the Galaxy, Frozen Ever After, and Nemo and Friends. Hey, what are everyone’s thoughts on retheming Spaceship Earth to The Incredibles?

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    I'm thinking it will go like: "I'd like to add 3 people to my party". "OK no problem, we see you were a party of 1 before with DAS, but now you're a party of 4 we'll change that to rider switch".

    Also because while the idea of giving "a bit extra" sounds nice, as soon as you give "a bit extra" it very quickly becomes a "TikTok hack" and encourages more people to abuse it. Which is why Disney seems to have come to the conclusion that the way to go is to offer accommodations that are...

    A question for any Owner Locker Owners

    We have the unlimited plan with two lockers as we go quite regularly. And we are big coffee drinkers so we leave a big tub of Folgers in there and even after many months I have never noticed a problem with the taste (not that I have the most discerning of palates). TBH it probably does not make...

    ooops, I didn't mean to send that to you

    A word of warning.... if you receive a text from a stranger out of the blue and reply that it is a wrong number, don't let the person draw you into a conversation about this being a "beautiful misunderstanding" and "you seem like a kind person", "maybe we can be friends", etc., because it's a...

    I would be very surprised if ADHD is addressed the same way under the new system. For one thing, plenty of pushy parents badger doctors into writing ADHD diagnoses for their kids so they are allowed more time to do tests like SATs, and this should not automatically lead to DAS being granted. And...

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    One motivation for bringing in the third party is probably because so many CMs have DAS, and one reason for this when it’s a CM as opposed to a third party making the decision may be that it’s harder for a CM to say “no” to a fellow CM; it’s natural to want your fellow employees to like you...

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    The single change most likely to curb abuse is to put an end to (for example) parties of 6 getting to go through the LL all together based upon one member of the party obtaining a DAS. If they have to do a rider switch instead, where 4 members of the party have to first ride using the standby...

    It wouldn't surprise me if the "scripts" by which DAS can be successfully obtained circulate like wildfire among Disney CMs, and I would expect that going forward, CMs' requests for DAS will be scrutinized especially closely. And if a CM claims to need an accommodation for DAS that they have not...

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    I suspect another issue is that parties including a DAS user will tend to be disproportionately large, due to the “hey, do you all want to come to Disney with us? We have DAS so you won’t have to wait in any long lines!” effect, where some people don’t want to “waste” any available slots in...

    No, the CM was correct and that is the current policy. I am certain that disability rider swap will need to be pre-approved as part of the DAS interview, and it will be not like random groups approaching the CM at the ride saying "my friend has IBS, we need a rider swap".
