That's it, for us Disney has always been our place where we feel "taken care of". As they've taken more perks away over the years ( not just changes to DAS, but overall ), it's feeling less and less the case. But I also don't want to be an alarmist, and we'll see what happens once these new...

I don't necessarily disagree. Just that *for us* it's about how we've always had this place to go have fun together. That might no longer be the case if it's always "anyway, see you later at this place or that place". I don't know. I'm not demanding anything and I understand where it's coming...

I mean sure, in fact, we actually travel in very large family groups ( grand parents, cousins, etc ). And we've registered DAS with our kids. But that's the thing, we've always toured the parks with our kids ( even as adults ), while other members of the family did their own thing and we get...

Exactly. We have three ( now adult ) kids. They have significant others. If we say "hey, your mom and I are going to go ride XYZ, see you guys later".... kind of misses the point of the family trip.

Thanks for the concession there, we have a friend with Lupus AND we're pretty sure my wife has it ( if not some other auto-immune disease that manifests as a similar thing ). And from one day to the next we're not sure how it will flare up. There are definitely days where she can do more than...

Same here, my wife and I were able to plan things out in such a way that it could work for her with FP+. And even trying Genie+ as a solution, money aside, it's not at all an adequate solution. ( i.e. You can barely ride anything that has any waits if the parks are the least bit busy ).

Plus, it's a misconception that wheelchairs and scooters get you much of any advantage. ( well at WDW anyway, Disneyland is a bit different ). People think wheelchairs get "front of the line to everything" ( they don't, except maybe the busses and living with the land ). That it's "nice to not...

Really? Because they made a big deal for us when we wanted more than 6 people listed. And when they did make the exception ( we were 8 ), I was able to book rides for all 8 of us.

It's a terrible option. First off, Genie+ spots sell out quickly, ESPECIALLY for attractions with long wait times. Ending in needing to wait in line anyway for many of those rides. So for someone with a disability that doesn't work well with waiting in long lines, this option sucks. If you're on...

For sure, I'm all for "making it more fair", we don't need advance reservations or things like that ( nice as it is, I get it ). And for us, we've always seen it as being able to wait the same time as everyone else, but just not *IN* line as opposed to "front of the line" access which many...

Same. We've always gone to Disney AND promoted/hyped up DIsney to people because it was a vacation destination where anyone could feel "safe" and "taken care of". My wife could feel that despite her health issues, she could still not only go, have fun, but do it with her family. These changes...

On the flip side of that, my wife has always "not wanted to be a problem" and has powered through, and one year she was really struggling and not getting on a lot, and going back to the room a lot until a cast member said "You really should be on the DAS" and they did an interview at guest...

I don't know if their policy *today* states immediate family, but I do know my wife had to pretty much beg and plead to be allowed to have our 3 adult kids AND their spouses included on our DAS so we could actually ride together. ( 8 instead of 6 ). They DID allow it, but they also made a big...

Honestly, we would have no problem with submitting medical information, we have lots and would be fine submitting it. But this news stinks. My wife has a GAMUT of health issues from anxiety/panic issues, to PPPD, to sun sensitivity issues due to her medications, to diabetes, not to mention...

Hello, my wife has two mobility devices. A fold up wheelchair and a walker with wheels. She uses both depending on the scenario. I'm looking to find out what airlines tend to do with that if we need to travel with both. I *assume* one gets checked as luggage, which is fine. I am really just...

Hello, we are coming in to the All-Stars at the end of the month. It is a hotel room only booking, so as such I can't pay the remaining balance online ahead of time. It does say that we will pay the balance on check-in, which is fine. I'm just wondering, I've done the online check-in already...

More than likely yes. Having made plans for our large family groups in the past ( but not having to have added a person last minute ), we've often had to wait a good while anyway. The only times we were seated "immediately" was when we had signed contracts for group dining with Landry...

Fortunately, this is a wednesday, so at least there's that :D ... Also, I do plan on passing by earlier in the day ( and not showing up right at dinner expecting to be seated ). So fingers crossed Of course, until then I will keep checking the official site to see if I can move it normally.

It's got more to do with ADRs being already made an we just found out an extra person is coming. Anyway, I'll see what I can do.

Probably asked before, but if I'm a group, and a person joins us last minute... do you think the person at the podium would have an issue? Especially with a big group. If I show up with an ADR for 12, and tell the host/hostess that we're actually, 13. Will they tend to accommodate? Or tell us...
