It is quite difficult to get past the wild allegations.
If I could, I can't imagine the parents will get a return of GAC or "near immediate" access. If the parents can show, in practice, that
DAS is such an abysmal failure that it means Disney is not willing to individually evaluate the modification their child needs, then perhaps. (I am not saying DAS works or not, I'm not qualified to say.)
But even here, the question would then be, what modification is reasonable under the circumstances. Disney doesn't have to provide every desired modification, just a modification that permits the full and equal enjoyment.
It's easy to see that the parties in the lawsuit are targeting the "full and equal enjoyment" - they go into great detail about the joy on their child's face, the full feeling of bliss,meta.
They seems to be making the claim that the only way they can get that is by bringing back GAC exactly the way they used it before - as an unlimited, anytime, ride any attraction as many times as you want without more than a few minutes wait....
Even at busy times like Christmas, even if it means riding multiple times on high demand attractions.
They
were given individual accommodation according to the lawsuit - things like extra Fastpasses they could use any time and being given the first DAS Return Time at Guest Relations.
That is just not what they were looking for - the only thing they thought met their needs would be to reinstate the GAC, the way they used it.
As an example of giving access, but not being able to give full enjoyment -
Disney now has pool lifts at all pools. This makes it possible to put someone like my youngest DD into the pool.
But, she gets cold very quickly and doesn't have "full and equal enjoyment" of the pool because it is way too cold for her. That is directly related to her disability - she does not have enough fat to insulate her body well to conserve body heat, she can't move effectively in the water to generate body heat and the cold (to her) temperature makes her muscles tight. All of those things limit the time she can spend in the pool (she may be able to be in for only 10 minutes) and she does not have full and equal enjoyment.
Making the pool the same temperature as a hot tub would give her that same "full and equal enjoyment" as other guests because she needs water that hot to be comfortable in the water.
But, that would interfere with other guests' enjoyment because it would be way too hot for them to enjoy and, being that hot would limit their ability to stay in the pool.
One thing to remember:
Per ADA, Disney DOES NOT have to "change the nature of the experience." For example, if someone is terrified of the dark, Disney does not have to turn on the lights in Space Mountain or Haunted Mansion.
Also, if someone does not meet height requirements (by disability or otherwise) they are not permitted to ride.
If you cannot be safely strapped into the restraints due to missing limbs, body shape, etc, no amusement park is required to provide an "accommodation" to allow you to ride it.
My example above of the pool is changing the nature.
Newish here, what is RNRC? I have this problem on many hanging coasters, is this one?
I'm 5'2 at a stretch
Rock N Roller Coaster. It's not a hanging roller coaster, but it has multiple inversions, which for me causes my head to bang around the head rest. I've only ridden it once because it gave me a really bad headache after just one ride.
A good example of why it is not possible to give everyone full and equal enjoyment.
