Disney has decided to make it harder for the disabled to use their park. I wonder how much bad press it is going to take before they rescind the changes. Or do they have no shame?

I mean, it will still be better than most parks for disabled people, TBH. The Harry Potter one is an accessibility nightmare.

A friend of mine went over to Japan recently and had such a bad time at Universal because he couldn't fit into the ride seats. Disabled isn't just people in wheelchairs or with canes or walkers, it's also people who don't fit the "normal" body standards.

But Japan doesn't have enough obese people to justify large seats. USA has the most extremely obese people in the World and much more than Japan.
However not all fat people are obese and disabled. Saying otherwise is fat shaming.

ayrt didn't say their friend was obese (or even fat for that matter). For all you know, they could be a fit person with "high" BMI. Or they could just be extremely tall.

ayrt also didn't mention nationality.

Being fit/extremely tall doesn't make someone disabled though?

(Anonymous) 2025-01-13 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
SA

Of course, being fat doesn't automatically make someone disabled, either. IDK, the wording is weird.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-13 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Extremely tall is common for people with Marfan's Syndrome which is a nightmare when trying to get appropriate disability aids - wheelchairs, canes and beds in particular. (I have a few clients with this issue.)

(Anonymous) 2025-01-13 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
When people mean Marfan syndrome, though, they just say it, because "needing a cane" is not something they share with tall people in general.

ayrt
you're grasping straws.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-13 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
If you are so fat you don't fit into a regular seat there is no way you are actually fit. And I say this a s a fellow fat person.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-14 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I have a friend who is a gym rat bodybuilder type and he can absolutely fit into a regular seat despite being muscular.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-13 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Is this something new or just the previous changes still rolling out? I remember seeing a few disability rights people I follow making posts about it about a year ago or so.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-13 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
what do you expect from a company based on the idea that beauty=goodness?

(Anonymous) 2025-01-13 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
The parks are already overcrowded and oversold, so anything that thins the crowd even a little is fair enough in my book.
