During one of our trips years ago, we decided to get a wheelchair for my daughter who had hurt her foot (we were in MK). We just couldn't have made it the entire day any other way. She was about 16 or so. However, we DID NOT want to get put to the front of any lines, and we would tell the cast members this, but they insisted. We felt terrible and it really almost ruined our day.
I think that if there are some people who are in wheelchairs and really DON'T
have to go the the front of the line....i.e., they can sit in their wheelchairs while their family waits in the regular line, and then they can join their family when it is the appropriate time, that would be great. This should be a courtesy that should be implemented.
Again, if a family doesn't want to take advantage of immediately going to the front of the line, then they should tell that to the cast member and the cast member should respect that.
All in all, there are some people who spend their whole lives in wheelchairs, and there by for the grace of God go I and if going to the front of the line is a little but of sunshine in their lives, then I am fine with that.
But some people who just use them in the parks to make the day a little bit more comfortable, then, let their families wait in line...while they sit in the wheel chair waiting for them until it is their proper turn.
