Disney World Promotes Fair Accommodation

9/23/2013

Fair Accommodation
        Whether it's a  handicapped parking spot or enjoying the attractions at Disney World, it amazes me how hard people work to abuse every system on the planet.
        Disney has to  adjust how they allow people with disabilities and their companions access to
attractions because: 
        "The move was a response to the phenomenon of disabled “tour guides” who  charge money, sometimes hundreds of dollars, to accompany able-bodied  guests and allow them to avoid long lines"
        Disney had been permitting people with disabilities and their companions to move to the front of the line because of conditions that prevent people from being in a long line. This was such a wonderful and heartfelt move by the Disney Corporation; nice try, folks!! Naturally, there are times when SOME people want to be selfish and self centered.
        Every other comment I have and the vocabulary I want to use, well, this will be a short blog entry. Shame on everyone who is a scammer!

Would you believe that Bill saw two scammers like this at Kennywood this summer? Yep. Bill told Diane and me after a ride that he saw a man get out of a wheelchair and say to his female companion, "OK. Now it's your turn to ride in the chair for a while." Maybe that isn't the exact quote, but it is similar. Yes, shame on them because they were cheating and riding the amusement rides. I didn't see them myself, but I hope that someone reported them.

My mil wanted to give me her placard when Bill was in the hospital so that I wouldn't have to walk so far from the parking lot every day. I am happy with myself because I emphatically replied in the negative because I CAN walk that far. No way could I ever do that because it would deprive someone who really needed that space. I hope that she never offers it to anyone again. I did give her a lecture.
