| Disney makes disabled guests wait too long for rides, lawsuits allege |
| 2020-02-29 |
| [MSN] Lawsuits against Walt Disney Co. are moving ahead in California and Florida, challenging how the company allows disabled people to access theme park attractions. It's been awhile since I went to Disney World, but when I did, they moved us to the head of the lines. I think that was why they brought me. Maybe things have changed. |

| #5 Ya know, everyone has to wait in lines. And don't push them too far -- last week one of the wheelchair accessible Jungle Cruise boats sank. |

| #4 We used to joke about renting a wheelchair to always move to the front of the line. We joked about it, others did it. Its actually an industry; deal I read claimed there are channels which a visiting group could rent a handicapped person to do just that. |

| #3 I once saw a person at a bus stop who appeared to only be pretending to be blind. She had the cane, she had all sorts of reflective tape and really overdid it. Also kept 'looking' at things. But when she dropped a dime and the bent down and directly picked it up... but she did move to the head of the line. Now there may be a condition like that but... OTOH there was a guy who really was blind. every day he would take not one, but three busses to get to work, and three to get home. Amazing guy. |

| #1 I believe 'move to the head of the line' was abused. SO now, two weeks ago, nearly all the rides in Florida had sort of a reservation system in place, if you claim disability at the front office. It's a reasonable system. |
