This seems a bit naughty
My hubby told me tonight that a colleague has just returned from Orlando and when he was in the queue at City Hall, MK, they were waiting to get a queue pass for his son with Cystic Fibrosis. The couple in front of him were waiting too, with their son, and he heard the man say to his wife "just say he's got aspergers." When it was their turn at the desk, they said their son had aspergers and were asked to complete a form, then were given a pass.
I was under the impression that in order to get such a pass, you needed a Dr's note or letter to explain the condition, rather than just being able to complete Disney's form. My hubby's colleague also said one day they forgot to take the blue badge with them for the car, so just waved the clock bit at the parking assistant and was just waved through for free. Has anyone else heard of this? |
Unfortunately yes. They're not allowed to ask for proof of medical conditions, so there will be people that take the p.
|
Agreed. There are unfortunately some people who take advantage, though Disney designed the advantage to be a little less attractive than the previous scheme. The new scheme means you can hold your place in a queue without having to physically wait in that queue whereas the previous system enables you to simply jump to the front of every queue.
We have used the DAS on our last two visits as a member of our family has a health issue that means they will pass out if they stand still for any considerable length of time. We did notice a slight difference in that we were asked what was wrong this year whereas on the previous visit they didn’t ask anything. |
As above you will find many still abusing the system.
Disabled Parking isn't free at the theme parks so I'm confused about forgetting the Blue badge and just waving the clock and driving through... |

I've already had the form sent to me by them which we have to send back 6 weeks before we travel along with a photocopy of my wife's passport and a photo copy of her blue badge |

The disabled parking permit is very good and just fits onto the internal mirror so it can be clearly seen. Also if you did travel back there within a year they supply another one free of charge. Just back to what the OPs colleague said, I'm surprised that they parked without paying at any park |
it spoils it for everyone :angry:
i am disabled but i dont class my self as disabled i que up like everyone else i dont get a parking spot near the front i think they should start asking for proof before they hand out the passes |
Really naughty things like that make my blood boil 😡

When i went in august we took a letter anyways to explain to them why a DAS was needed, and the lady took it off us and read it.
however people do abuse the system too, we wasn't told to fill no form in though. x |
