Stupid Guest Tricks

And I for one am going to be grateful for the reform. First, I won't get jeered along with those who are really abusing the system. Secondly, it won't be a front of pass things those who feel they are entitled to. I welcome the reform and the WDW system is great. It made things actually go faster for me as I am wheelchair bound and not able to do much activity. And then those who can do more than I are accomodated to their level needs. It is very well planned and organized.

Calm down. Obviously there are different levels of people with diabetes. Many can stand in line and walk around the park like everyone else. If you've read any of TourBunny's other posts, you'd understand that she deals with a lot of idiots who lie to her and try to get special passes from her when they don't really need them. You may not think that's a big deal, but when you're in her position, you start to feel like you're being taken advantage of; like the person getting the pass feels you are stupid for believing their lie.

She's just venting for Christsakes... Give it a rest...

That's ok, there was one day I had a guest with a Guest Assistance Card when I worked at Space Mountain that had a typical stamp on it, and then they wrote in the card that:

Guest is extremly disabled, please escort directly to the front of the line.

I ended up conficating that card from them and I made them wait in the line. I told the guest that I cannot accomidate what was written on the card, but if you would like I'll call my manager and have them "take care" of the situation, but I would have to hold onto the card until he came. She left and I still had the card.

So a lady came up to me and wanted to know where she could find guest relations cms that weren't rude. After we did some asking, she was all upset about the new SAC and wanted to go higher than park management. She told us that "in order to get one now you have to be crippled." The best line was "You've taken away my reason for coming here!" Then she limped off. <sigh> oh well, one less person in the queue I guess.

"She told us that "in order to get one now you have to be crippled."

Well, yeah, that's kind of the point. If the only reason she came to Disneyland was that she could abuse the system, I am glad that she is gone.

But not because it makes my day any more enjoyable, but it makes the day of an able bodied guest more enjoyable. They are the ones most impacted by the abuse, not the disabled.

PBH,
i'm so sorry if i offended you! all the other running to my aid :thank you!
i wanne let you know that i have cancer in my bones, type2 diabetes, arthrites(as part of the cancer) and collites (digestiv disease).
so i'm not exactly the healthiest either. noone ever knows about that until now. if my management would know they would put me in the phoneroom permanently with all the other people that can't stand for 8 hrs on their feet. so i don't have that put in my medical record so they won't put any restrictions on me. i'll just make my way thru my day with a lot f painkillers. i for one enjoy the action, giving tours and just beeing in city hall making fun of people beeing pathetic to us...
so i'd realy be the last person to dicriminate agains a disability, i've just been lyed to so many times that one just cannot afford compassion any more without ending up in the loony bin.
so basically, ya, i don't care anymore. city hall seldomly gets anybody that doesn't want to cheat, try to get free stuff or just see what they can get away with. that kind of scars us for life. we are not allowed to think for ourselfs so anything that we tell people was scripted at one point or another. i'm going to make an official post about the new sac system to hopefully clear up some rainy cloweds over naturally confused other cm's so just read it and enjoy.

Thank you tourbunny! I am thankful that you understand that a disability is more than just being in a chair. And I understand that you have been lied to out the ying yang. I've seen it and I've experienced the abuse and been the brunt of the anger of the able bodied guest.

I guess what management needs to be trained on is diversity in disabilities, but still should never make a decision as to which disability deserves a pass or not (chair vs. no chair)

And I never allowed my physician to officially totally disable me. Like you, I still want to work, even though my doctor says that I don't have to because I am officially totally disabled. UGH! Never! As long as I have a brain and can self accomodate in order to do my job, I , like you, will continue to do my job.

And i totally sympatize with the abuse you all are suffering, no one has any reason to be discourteous to a CM, even when being denied a SAP. And usually its the ones who scream the loudest are the ones who abused it in the past.

But I am not screaming, just voicing my concern over a new policy that while cutting down on the abuse, allows discrimination on the basis of disability. But again, the new policy does not affect me in the least as I am chair bound. But that is no reason to ignore what is wrong with the system.

Nice to be able to call you friend, tourbunny! After all, we are both bunnies-lol!

THAT'S RIGHT! US BUNNIES HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER! so all is well and we can callourselfs friends just like you sayed.
happy times ahaead!

Well bunny sis, I'll see you next time at City Hall gettingmy very own blessed SAP(SAC). You'll know me because I'll be the one in my very own motorized recreational vehicle (reminiscent of cousin eddie in Christmas Vacation)!

After two years of being confined to a wheelchair and dependent on my husband for everything, including my mobility, I've got my own four wheelin scooter.

Its a beautiful champagne color with a matching leather high backed captains chair that reclines to let me rest. I wanted a three wheel since I felt it to be more dainty, but the four wheel was available now and my parents thought it would be more stable and it is.

Now I can ride down to the grocery store, pick up a sandwich at Subway and get my hair done, all things I had to schedule around my husband. And when the day is nice, I get tool around the hood!

Whoo! Hoo! you have no idea how excited and liberated I feel...
