Disney World changed its rules for those with disabilities

Disney World has changed its rules about people with disabilities. In the parks, people with physical disabilities were allowed to go in front of the line or through another entrance. Unfortunately, too many took advantage of the system and they dropped it altogether.

What many people do not realize is that waiting in line with a wheelchair or mobility device is very hard. People with a legitimate disability are not out  to scam the system or have special rights. It’s just nice to have a place to make a vacation a wee bit easier to handle.

But I guess that is too much to ask for.

Some people wanted to fake having a disability to get ahead. It is a real shame that this made them feel great. Then there are  the people with disabilities who thought it would be cool to scam the system to get money by being ‘tour guides.’

Thank you for making life more challenging for those with disabilities who just want to have a vacation without the stress of crowds and burning in our wheelchairs as we wait in line. Also in line we get strangers to stare at us, bump into us and often make fun of us.

Disney is no longer the happiest place on Earth...
