点评:First, we are a special-needs group that meets at Disney World's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party every couple of years. Due to changes to Disney's "Disability Pass," it took 2 hours to get everyone signed up and ready to go out to the party. As a mother of a son with Down Syndrome, it's hard for him to wait in line; it invites a meltdown, and as my son is 28 and weighs 200lbs, you definitely don't want a meltdown. I always looked at Disney's special needs pass as one of the few benefits of having a child with Special Needs. Apparently, so did a lot of able-bodied jerks, and now Disney makes our special needs community sign up online, talk with a "person" online, and verify that they do have special needs by asking a lot of unnecessary questions.
Second, the bus situation is a nightmare. We stayed at Shades of Green, and you need a "bus pass" (and you'd better have it before you get on the bus). Then, on the way back to the resort, they actually stop the bus at the guardhouse, and security climbs on to make sure you have that bus pass! What are they going to do, throw you off the bus?
Disney is so concerned about people paying that ridiculous parking fee that they are making it extremely inconvenient for their guests. Not to mention the cost of tickets, merchandise, and food. 20 years ago, Disney was a great place to take the kids, enjoy the day, and eat a meal. Now, with all of the restrictions, new rules, and limitations, it's nothing short of a hassle.
翻译:首先,我们是一个特殊需求群体,每隔几年就会在迪士尼世界的“不太恐怖的万圣节派对”上相聚一次。由于迪士尼的“残障人士通行证”政策有所变更,我们花了两个小时才让所有人完成登记并准备好参加派对。作为一个唐氏综合征儿子的母亲,他很难耐心排队——那样很容易引发情绪崩溃。而我的儿子今年28岁,体重达200磅,这种情况下发生情绪崩溃绝对是大家都不想看到的。我一直都把迪士尼的特殊需求通行证视为拥有特殊需求孩子所带来的为数不多的好处之一。显然,很多身体健全的混蛋也这么认为。现在,迪士尼要求我们这些有特殊需求的人士先在网上注册,还要在网上与“工作人员”交谈,并通过回答一堆毫无必要的问题来证明自己确实存在特殊需求。
其次,巴士服务简直是一场噩梦。我们下榻在Shades of Green酒店,而乘坐巴士需要一张“巴士通行证”(而且最好在上车前就准备好)。然后……在返回度假村的路上,他们真的会让巴士在警卫室前停下,然后保安会上车检查你是否持有巴士通行证!他们还能怎样,把你从巴士上赶下去吗?
迪士尼如此在意人们是否支付那笔离谱的停车费,以至于故意给游客造成极大的不便。更不用说门票、周边商品和食品的价格了。20年前,迪士尼还是一个带孩子去玩、享受一天时光并享用美食的好去处。而现在……在诸多限制、新规则和约束条件下,这简直就是件麻烦事。
