Sounds like a reasonable solution to me. :yay:

People with disabilities will no longer go straight to the front of lines at Disneyland and Walt Disney World under a policy change park officials say is a response to growing abuse of the system.

The current approach to accommodating disabled park-goers "certainly has been problematic, and we wanted to curb some of the abuse of this system," Disneyland Resort spokeswoman Suzi Brown told the Orange County Register.

"We have an unwavering commitment to making our parks accessible to all guests," Disneyland Resort spokeswoman Suzi Brown said in a statement. "Given the increasing volume of requests we receive for special access to our attractions, we are changing our process to create a more consistent experience for all our guests while providing accommodations for guests with disabilities."

The change takes effect Oct. 9 for guests with park-issued disability cards. Disney officials said more details will be released after park employees are briefed on the new rules.

Currently, visitors unable to wait in the regular line can get backdoor access to rides or go through the exit and wait in a shorter line.

I was at Euro Disney and this fat lady and her daughter started cutting in line, they made it about halfway into this mile long line when some French guy started yelling at her for cutting and she slapped the taste out of his mouth and started yelling at him in English that she was pregnant. I couldn’t resist yelling “Then why are you going to ride a roller coaster?” Silly foreigners.

Good!

Those little ####s never pay full price anyway.

I remember one time, one of these so-called "disabled persons" tried to cut in front of me in line when I was waiting for a ride. I did a spinning round house kick, and my foot swung out, I caught him right in the throat.





Knocked him right out of his wheelchair.



And I was all, "BOOM! That happened!"

My dad was 100% disabled and in a wheelchair... If you did that to him while we were standing in line I would have speed demon crotch kicked you while you were in mid spin...:boxing:

You've never seen me spin.... WAAAAAAAAHHH!

You would have tried to demon-crotch-kick me.

You would have been unsuccessful. HWAH!

makes sense. you used to be able to rent a wheel chair and they'd let you right up. now at least they might do a check and use a fastpass system. harder to skip the line

We should tattoo our handicapped with bar codes. They could scan them like my groceries at Wal-Mart. BEEP!

There was a news report on a few nights ago. The big problem isn't with the line cutting. The problem is that the special handicap passes are a bit too easy to get, and non-handicapped people get them and sell them for a huge profit to those that don't deserve it, just so the non-deserving folks don't have to stand on line. One guy sold his pass for $350, another would use his pass to 'escort' a family and take the rides with them for $150.

Yep, there is that... but I do think giving a time specific "fast pass" is a reasonable solution altogether.

When we went to Busch Gardens and to Kings Dominion with my dad and there were rides he could go on with us, we would let them wheel him to the front of the line and the rest of us would wait in line and then we'd all get on together once we made it to the front where he was waiting. It worked for us. I understand that there are other disabilities that make it so the disabled person wouldn't be content to sit and wait for their peeps to make it to the front so the timed entrance pass seems to be a good compromise for those situations.

It’s about time we stopped treating handicap people as special. I’ve always heard that handicap people wanted to be treated the same as everyone else, not discriminated against. Well, allowing them to jump to the head of the line is a form of discrimination, those how have stood in line for an hour are being discriminated against due to their physical abilities, the ability to stand in line. I never understood why the handicap got head of the line privileges when all they wanted was to be treated as equals. Well, they can stand in line like everyone else.

Nothing like standing in line for an hour and a half and then, just as you get to the front, someone in a wheelchair with an entourage of ten people jumps right in front of you.

I understand making physical accommodations for those with disabilities, but I never understood the 'head of the line' privilege.

...and when did pregnancy become a disability?
