Another outage in my area. Must be a day that ends in “y.” 😡

My son and I were supposed to go to the first week of June. He is autistic and in the past has easily qualified for their disability pass. His symptoms are severe enough that going by what is stated on their new policy he should easily be eligible for their DAS.

So yesterday we get up at 9 AM to do the Zoom call with a CM. I explain to her his issues and why he would need a DAS. My son is on the call as well. After about a minute on the call he is denied a DAS. Confused I ask questions about why he wouldn’t be eligible but she starts giving me suggestions on how to deal with waiting in lines. I try to explain to her why those won’t work and she gives me a sarcastic “have a magical day” and ends the video chat.

After the chat I have to explain to my son that he might have to wait in long lines during our trip and he then has a meltdown. It took a while to get him through it. I decide that we should just see about getting a refund, even though we are only a little over a week away from leaving.

So I call customer service and explain that I wanted to see about getting a refund without penalty because he was denied a DAS. After talking with her supervisor they agree and give me a refund. Considering the length of stay and hotel we were staying at it was a considerable amount of money.

So if you are neurodivergent and have used a DAS in the past good luck. Maybe you’ll have better luck than I did when you have your chat with a CM. But for us our Disney days are over.

@tantramar I understand them trying to limit abuse but there are a lot of families out there that should be eligible that will end up being denied. And judging by their response I’m thinking they don’t care. Just less people in the parks using DAS.

@tantramar Indeed. I can honestly say they used to do an outstanding job dealing with him. The CMs would see him with his headphones on and fidget toys in hand and take time to make him feel special and welcome. The old Disney was always super accommodating to the neurodivergent community. Now it’s all about filling up rooms and nickel and diming customers to death.

@tantramar @WrenArcher The route to my destination today was almost all back roads. Any pee emergency would have been done on the side of the road. 😂

A picture of a sharecropper house I took on my drive today. Even though it’s now abandoned families were still living here just a few short years ago.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Fediverse Moms. You all are awesome and I hope y'all have a great day.

Today is my first Mother's Day without my mom. I'm holding it together right now but later when we visit her grave to put some flowers out I know I'm gonna lose it. Love and miss you Mom. 😢

After sitting in my doctor’s waiting room for an hour I’ve learned that old people have zero smart phone etiquette. Got a couple on phone calls and are using their speaker instead of putting the damn thing up to their ears. Got a few watching videos with the volume blaring. FFS people!

I’ve started yelling “NOT FRIENDLY!” at people when it looks like they’re going to approach me.

I learned it from the dog people.

@dgar I find pointing at them and screaming “stranger danger!” works as well.

Fell asleep last night on the couch watching Fallout, which is fantastic by the way. Woke up at 4 AM. Then dragged myself to bed for my last hour of sleep.

Gonna try and finish Fallout tonight. If you haven’t started watching yet I highly recommend it.
