Ok, so I'm a huge fan of the Disney Parks, as a lot of my classmates have figured. I have a bunch of shirts that I wear frequently that even show it! But today, I found out about something that, as somebody with Aspergers Syndrome, is deeply dissapointed by.
After getting calls of abuse of it's Guest Assistance Card (People have claimed to have disabilities using it, but really haven't.), both Disneyland and the Walt Disney World resort have announced that they will instead use a card given to families of people with disabilities that will give them a time to come back later, and have them wait in a short line, instead of having them moved to the front of the line when a GAC is shown to a cast member.
Now, like I said, as somebody with Aspergers Syndrome, I am just angered by this decision. I am prone to anxiety attacks easily, and if I'm stuck in a long line for a certain period of time, I can have anxiety attacks. It's worse if I have a dinner reservation at a certain time. Now, imagine if it was somebody with a family member who has down syndrome, a form of Autism, or even a family member in a mobile wheelchair who takes their time to get to the ride. It would cause even more stress to their vacation, and things would be hectic. If Disney actually goes through with this plan, I can say that there will be many unhappy customers who may lose their business, this, sadly, includes me.
