I don’t think they do but we did stay there with points.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We would respectfully disagree, as we said in the video and in multiple comments, there is absolutely zero evidence of abuse of the system. Disney themselves have never said that was the reason for the change. Where are you getting your numbers of 25%? What did you see in the park that made you believed it was being abused? We need to stop fighting for those that horde everything and start supporting each other.

It is horrible right now, more stories are coming out everyday of the failure of the DAS system. It’s just sad Disney’s focus on greed.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Have a great day.

We can definitely understand that frustration. It seems like another technique to force someone into a paid system. Lightning Lanes don’t have those same restrictions.

Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Contact information is included in the description for our videos.

​@@LostGirlinTomorrowland thank you so much 😊

Thanks for taking the time to comment. So let me get this straight. You think these changes have nothing to do with the executives wanting more money? It’s frustrating how those with so little are always so quick to protect those hoarding everything. Also, as we said in the video there is no evidence people misused the system. None what so ever. Only thing people have cited, was from another content creator who counted the blue circles when someone went through the lightning lanes, which is neither reliable nor valid. If someone brought me that study, as a person with a Ph.D., they would be laughed out the building for lack of any use of the scientific method or understanding of how to do research.

He does seem to have a problem with Greed.

Yes and we remember that just recently they were being sued about false numbers they presented to the shareholders. It’s a mess.

@@jacquelinemoeller7146 I hate that they did away with FastPass+ & it actually kinda seems like Disney may have financially shot themself in the foot because they removed most of the insensitive for booking a club level room at their Deluxe resorts. It used to be if you were staying club level, you had the option to pay any additional $50 per person per day to purchase 3 additional FastPasses per day in addition to the normal 3 free FastPasses and the additional FastPasses had no ride tier restrictions & purchasing the extra ones, allowed you to schedule all 6 FastPasses 90 days in advance instead of just the normal 60 days in advance for resort guests. I know not everyone could afford this but for my family we found it well worth it but the food in the club lounges at Disney resorts just isn’t good enough in justify the club level prices without the added incentive of being able to purchase extra FastPasses💁🏽☹️

This was the first time we ever visited the area, so we have no real point of reference to compare it to the past. We will say everything business-wise we saw in the area was open but we did notice a lot of abandoned apartments on our journeys through the city. We really enjoyed the area and thought it was beautiful. What did you think of what you saw in our video, did it look like it was in a state of decline?

It is a good walk to the strip. We would also not recommend walking at night between the lighting, sidewalks, and location between the hotel and the strip.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We would agree it was a hidden gem. We went there not expecting much and it was really good.

We are with you and your frustrations. I’m sorry you have had to go through those attacks. It is sad they defend these poor decisions from the executives, when all they want is more money. We have been doing this for a while so most times when we put out a DAS or disability related video we received some kind of vitriol from some of the audience. It fascinates us even people with disabilities try to put you down. Our only response is we feel sorry they are too proud to ask for help. We are looking forward to trying out the Universal System in the near future.

@@LostGirlinTomorrowland Yeah my guess is if some people feel they don’t need it then they feel like other people are weak and needy. But everyone’s disability affects them differently. Trust me I’ve always felt indebted to my parents for taking care of me despite them never asking me to pay them back. I don’t even have a social platform, I just leave comments so I imagine you get way worse. I’ve seen so many hateful things be repeated like “stay home!”, “If you’re fat and lazy you shouldn’t get das”, “stop whining, get a wheelchair, and wait in line like everyone else” or “If you want equality then wait in line like everyone else and don’t ask for special treatment”. I expected these kinds of talking points from conservative fans who hate Disney thinking it’s woke but weirdly enough I didn’t get any hate for voicing my opinions on clownfish tv videos. Everywhere else even wdw news today I’m met with hate and told to keep quiet. It boils my blood but leaving Disney is probably for the best. Their services suck these days and only appeal to execs. The 200 dollar ticket is only truly worth it if you have das. Knowing Disney I highly doubt they’re going to reverse this change certainly not in the next few years. But like I said we’re fortunate to have universal and even Tokyo Disney has a form of disability pass similair to universal since they’re not owned by Disney. So we can save our money and go there instead.

We can understand that decision. It’s just sad to us how a park so loved has turned to this horrible hyper focused money grab. We hope they change course and like you will have are fond memories, until they make some changes.

Thank you for the kind comment. Hopefully Disney will change course in the near future.

It was easy and I would use it again. We explain exactly how to use the pass in the video, as well as tips to maximize your pass

Thank you. Glad you found it helpful.

We would disagree. Even if there is one it doesn’t make it right.

@@LostGirlinTomorrowland I’m not sure how much sense it makes to disagree with fact until that fact becomes untrue. However, just because these waivers are common doesn’t mean they’re all enforceable. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out

How about you stay home and in your lane Thanks for commenting

@@LostGirlinTomorrowland sad people are rude now a days hope things get better for ya.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We might try Universal when we get back to Orlando in the next few months. There is absolutely no data supporting the DAS was being abused argument. For a long time now all lines have been accessible to wheelchairs, so that wouldn’t get you one on the old system. The executives wanting more money is not a reason to hurt people.

@@LostGirlinTomorrowland yea i went universial a while back ago in felt very welcomed their I don't think we set the disability thing up but my fiancé does have part of his body not able to move a lot but he does try and cast member was nice enough to give us the fast pass lane he likes to try to do the regular lines and my disability is more invisible but I can do the lines so I don't worry setting things up but hope thing get better for all the people that need it.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. If people were abusing the system happy to see the data to support that. Again, the executives needing more money is not a reason to hurt others. I’m sorry you had the experience with your heat tolerance. I’m also sorry that the possibility of you getting injured or worse isn’t enough for you to ask for help.

Got to the end. Props to you for walking away.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. To the first point rider swap does not give someone the same experience. For example, two people go and they do rider swap. Those people are barely going to see each other during the day. If they didn’t need an accommodation they would spend all day together. That’s not the same experience, not to mention those who need their caretakers in case something more severe happens. Again, accommodations like rider swap for some could lead to someone getting hurt. To the second point, as we said in the video lightning lane can be oversold but let me see any data you have saying that was DAS folks not just executives overselling the line for more profit. We have to stop punching down and direct your anger and frustrations to the greedy executives.

Thank you. We all have to start to vote with our wallets even when we love Disney.

Hi! Thanks for commenting! How are you doing post transplant? I love hearing from recipients as I don’t get to see that side to often and it makes it come full circle. Here is my best description of what I do.. I apologize it’s a bit lengthy but it’s such a complex job that incorporates so many variables…. So my background is nursing and stumbled into the world of Donation about 6 years ago. Every day and every donor presents their own unique challenges, and every Organ procurement organization I work with seems to have their own unique way of approaching donors. Overall the general process stays the same though. The journey starts with a referral from the ICU, on a ventilated patient with a catastrophic injury. From there we do our own evaluations in the background looking through the medical records, talking with the healthcare team at the hospital and then make a decision about if that donor would be appropriate for donation. Then we wait till family is ready to make end of life decisions or the patient is declared brain dead. Depending on if the patient is registered determines the order of the next steps and determines how the conversation with the potential donor family goes. If the patient is registered or if they’re not registered and family consents to moving forward we start working. We do a whole donor work up to look at infectious diseases, we also will work to make all viable organs function to the best of their abilities. Once our full work up is completed then we’re ready to start allocation. We put all our data into the UNOS system to match with recipients at transplants centers all over. This is the part of the process where we start to see that lives are changing and the gift of life truly affects so many people. Once we have everything allocated we work with our transplant centers, local hospitals, and our surgical teams to get an OR time. We keep our donor families as updated as they want during this process, some want updates with any new developments some want to just know when the procedure happens. It’s all very case by case and there’s no right or wrong way to approach this … it’s whatever comfort level is best for the donor families. We head to the OR at the designated time , and what my role is in the OR is varied at every OPO I visit. Sometimes I am just a record keeper in the OR documenting times, names and charting anesthesia. Other times we help perfusion and packing up organs and meeting couriers. The OR is a logistics dance and all hands on deck. It’s one of my favorite roles as a coordinator because you see the end result to an extent. Once the OR is complete, we help the OR staff with the clean up process, do post mortem care for the donor and then update the family with the outcome. Sometimes this is more involved with some families. We also update the ICU staff about the outcome and thank them for all their work, they become quite attached to our donors and it’s hard for them as well. That’s the general over view of a case and my day to day varies depending on where we are at in a case and how many cases we have going at one time. I’m planning a series to show a little more about what I do but I what to make sure I can fully respect my donors, the ICUs and anyone else that may be working for me. Maybe a Q&A session or just some shorts to show blips from my day to day. We did do a few videos a few years ago … they may be deep in the archives… but specific questions I’m always happy to answer ❤️

It’s so sad it’s just a money grab. We will be posting an update soon. Thank you for watching ❤️

Totally understandable.

Is there any chance you see the irony in that statement.

@@chrisfoxwell4128 is there any chance you see the judgement and lack of education in your statement about disabilities?? Not every disability is related to walking…

@@chrisfoxwell4128 you apparently think you were so very clever and had some huge “gotcha” with that ridiculous question … you obviously know zero about DAS… it has nothing to do with MOBILITY … there… GOTCHA!

@Reportermel30 , if it was a "gotcha" it wouldn't be clever, and it was definitely clever. Apparently, I'm not the only one that knows nothing about DAS, because half of the whining about it is related to mobility.

We never understood that either. Why make a paid system that only lets you ride each ride once. Also, if you pay for Genie Plus to use as your “substitute” accommodation and all the times are booked for a ride you love. You are essentially excluded from that ride for the day.

Genie plus doesn’t help with rides in Fantasyland.

It’s kind of crazy. Even without the current forcing of DAS users to the system it did not work and had major issues. The free system worked better, it’s crazy how every time the executives add money to included systems, everything gets worse.

Absolutely! I agree 100% and I don’t think that should be the case at all, and if that is the case I should be allowed a refund for what I purchased… but currently it does not seem that they are allowing refunds … Disney is expensive and requiring anyone to make a purchase before they know if they can use it is wrong!

just expect to not have access to it anymore

Wow, I am so sorry that you’re in this same boat about the DAS. Thank you for taking the time to watch and share your story. I think it’s very daunting thinking about how to navigate this process and advocate for ourselves. It’s one of the hardest things to do. If you do decide to go through the process and they can’t make accommodations that will work for you there are a few additional steps to try. 1. As a AP reach out directly to Disneys park experience and the disability services, let them know what happened during your call and why it doesn’t work. Can’t guarantee this will change anything immediately but they need feedback in written form. 2. Reach out to the Americans with Disabilities, and send them essentially the same letter you send Disney and how you’re not getting accommodated. 3. This isn’t the solution and it’s the saddest step of all but taking your hard earned money and business elsewhere. It will take sometime till this all settles and plays out but if we stop giving Disney money this may force them to change. This step breaks my heart the most but I know it’s sometimes the only way to create change. Please let us know when you do decide to do the interview and let us know what the outcome was.

Stay home

@@LostGirlinTomorrowland you can watch 4K pov Disneyland rides from your air conditioned living room for free. It’s fun.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Hope you have a wonderful day.

@@LostGirlinTomorrowland yeah sure you too. Are you interested my work?

​@@LostGirlinTomorrowland yeah you too. Are you interested my work?

Wow, there is a lot of assumptions there. While some may use that opportunity for other experiences, mine is all I can explain. Of note, most of the things you listed meeting characters etc. have lines. So those people are not waiting in those lines, if they did it would have to be something short enough for them. That is a personal preference based on their disability. As for the return to line, not everyone is getting offered that and as we talked about in the video, there are major concerns about that type of accommodations. That system wouldn’t work for my accommodations and we explained why in the video. For me personally, waiting longer doesn’t bother me, as I feel safer waiting outside the queue. And yes the DAS waiting system is broken and complicated by ILL but that’s whole other issue. Thank you for taking time to comment. We will be making more videos in the future about this on going issue.

@@LostGirlinTomorrowland Great points! New subscriber here! I’m just trying to understand it and am not a Disney pro at all. I was at WDW a few months ago and after, realized that someone in my immediate family would surely qualify for DAS (as well as under the new rules) but I decided I will stay away from it in the future since now that I know where the challenges were from that visit, will come up with better personal solutions for us (even if it means more hassle / less rides) and leave this DAS mess to those who may need it more and literally not have any other solutions. I’m not getting there again anytime soon though hehe. I just think DAS cannot logistically accommodate everyone who should qualify (unless Disney gets less greedy with Lightning Lane and Genie +) and I hope everyone who has used it in the past rethinks its usage as well.

Thank you for the sub and welcome. Our response would be if someone needs a DAS, or any accommodation, they should apply. It is not those who need accommodations, this is on the executives at Disney who are making these poor decisions. Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself or anyone you care about. Advocacy is the only way to get understanding for those with disabilities. If you need any help in the future let us know.

I just want to explain to someone why getting the chance to return to a ride 45 minutes later and entering a shorter queue closer to the ride is an accommodation that makes my day a lot better, as I am legally blind, traveling through those lines bumping into those metal poles that are usually appear at a nowhere can be quite daunting. Just to explain I am legally blind and using it is how I would normally navigate but tapping the back of peoples legs 1000 times a day and hacking to say excuse me I’m sorry can be very wearing. So I choose not to use a cane and have someone guide me And having a shorter distance to travel makes my day a lot better. And I also would like to explain that traveling the park in the same manner even with the cane is very slow and can be very tiring. I probably lose 40 to 50% of the value of day pass Just in navigating the park so they say that Disney is giving people with disabilities a big advantage is kind of sad to think that way and the same goes for people in the wheelchair. Think about navigating that park through those crowds in a wheelchair it’s not easy. So now that Disney is talking about taking back some of these accommodations is very sad. And I do believe it’s an attempt to make more money on this genie pass and that is set up a kind of competition between people with disabilities and people with money and they feel that people with disabilities are getting in their way. I guess so poor management has caused this problem and poor financial decisions has also made this worse, and now Disney trying to make up the money on the people in the parks, their most loyal customers. If this turns out to be the way things are going to go I’ll either try to use Universal Park or just skipped amusement parks altogether and skip Disney completely! 34:23

Not very caring of you. First, that is not Disney’s process to show proof. That would be against the ADA, whether they like it or not and they do have to comply with federal law. The hullabaloo is because people can get hurt or worse if they do not get accommodations. And those who need accommodations have the right to enjoy the park just like those who do not.

Well said, Lost Girl👍

Callers have had their or their children's medical paperwork with them to show the DAS Cast Members and they refused to look at it. Children and adults with cancer-denied. People with MS-denied. PTSD- told they shouldn't go to the parks, etc.

Thank you for watching and welcome to the channel.

Thank you for the information and clarification.

That’s insane- I haven’t experienced them shutting down the main que yet but I 100% believe you. It’s sad that this what it’s become and it truly breaks my heart. Thank you for your support, feel free to share this video with any and everyone that has any real question about what’s really happening. I hope in the future that they will roll back these hyper aggressive changes and become the accommodating and amazing Disney we all once loved to experience.

Thank you 😊 I genuinely felt like it’s not getting the coverage that people with disabilities deserve covered. So many creators are focused on positive spin but the line in the sand has to be drawn somewhere. I’ll continue covering it and being honest ❤️

Thank you for more locations to check out. We love baby Billy. The mall was also used in Vice Principals for the date scenes. We watched that show after filming this video.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. It is a Vegas classic.

Thank you. Glad you found the information useful. If you do use any please tag us on social media we loved to see it.

Thanks it was a nice room, just a little small for two people with different schedules. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you for taking the time to comment and you are correct.

We paid about $600 for three nights.

There was no resort fee but there is a parking fee.

We can understand. The only other good thing was being located somewhat in the middle of the strip. Making rideshare slightly cheaper to both ends.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Hope you have a good day.

Thank you so much for the kind words 🥰 welcome to the lost girl family! We have so many fun crazy adventures planned for this summer and we can’t wait to share them all!!

@@LostGirlinTomorrowland you are so welcome!! Do you guys live in Florida or California?? I love seeing all the different videos!!

@aprilburke6053 we are officially nomads with no official residence at the moment trying to decide if we want to go back to Florida or give California a try for a while.
