Wait Your Turn

That’s what Walt Disney World plans to say to disabled guests starting Oct. 9 when the park’s former policy of allowing those with disabilities to skip to the head of the line goes away. The move was prompted by what the Associated Press says was abuse of the system. Those with disabilities will still receive special accommodations though. Instead of an automatic skip, they’ll get a ticket with a return time that will speed up ride access for them. What do you think of the new policy?
