I was trying, and possibly failing, to point out that FP+ does help quite a bit over the traditional FP system especially used in conjunction with the DAS. I was saying that with all the work we've done on past trips, plus FP+ which I got to use with my dad on his trip last Oct., there is some hope of a trip being possible again.- When the DAS was first announced, there wasn't FP+, so it was a lot harder. To the other posters who pointed out that our situation is no different than anyone with a toddler- it's totally different, but if y'all choose to walk around completely devoid of any compassion or empathy, that's on y'all. The fact is that everyone is not the same, and trying to navigate situations is a lot more complex for some than others. I don't want to get into the whole my disability is worse game, because its completely pointless and harmful. But it would be nice if judgement and blanket statements could potentially be suspended for short periods of time, long enough to at least admit that one solution does not fit all. I'm not asking for anyone to fix it, or make it better- just to try to comprehend that the DAS isn't always effective for everyone.
People can have compassion and empathy without agreeing with you.
No one is acting like everyone can work the system the same or that it's not more difficult for some. It's the expectation that anyone is owed something more because of their limitations that people don't agree with. There is no magic at Disney that's going to make everyone's issues go away, or make everything workable. But they've accommodated what they can and need to without a significant impact to ALL the guests at the park.
And for whatever reason, it seems Disney is the only place where people expect these over the top modifications.
