Disney Updates Line Re-Entry Information Ahead of Shareholder Meeting

Disney has seemingly updated its line re-entry wording on the American theme park sites, making it easier to follow for those who may have been denied DAS (Disability Access Pass) but still need accommodations because they can’t stand in line.  Someone still has to stand in line, but the person with the disability does not need to.

This update comes after Disney has agreed to allow a shareholder proposal asking for a third party to evaluate the current system to be presented for a proxy vote at the Shareholder Annual meeting.

What did Disney change?

Not much. It does seem that they made it clearer and easier to follow for those who want to use Line Re-Entry or Meet-Up accommodations.

Interestingly, Disney did this update right after they tried to get SEC permission to deny the shareholder proposal. It turned out they no longer needed SEC permission to deny a proposal to the ballot, but they did agree to allow it afterall, possibly from the bad publicity from attempting to deny it.

Here is the updated wording for the Line Re-Entry and Meet-Up accommodations

To leave and Re-Enter a queue

1. At the entrance of the attraction, talk with a Cast Member to learn about exit options should you need to leave the queue.
(HELPFUL HINT: If you already know how to exit the queue, then you don’t need to speak with a Cast Member prior – just join the queue.)

2. In the event your specific need requires you to leave the queue, simply exit while the remainder of your party stays in the queue.
(HELPFUL HINT: If you need someone to help you – they can leave with you while the remainder of your party waits in the queue.)
(HELPFUL HINT: If you are traveling alone or with party members who can’t be left alone in the queue, please contact Accessibility Services prior to your visit.)

3. When you are ready to return, go to the front of the attraction and let a Cast Member know that you are using the Attraction Queue Re-Entry accommodation and need to regroup with your party in the queue.
(HELPFUL HINT: You don’t need to discuss your reason for needing to leave the queue.)

4. The Cast Member will help you meet your group to ride together.

To Meet Up with your party that has been waiting in the queue

1. At the entrance of the attraction, the members of your party joining the queue should ask a Cast Member at what point they should let you know it’s time to join them.
(HELPFUL HINT: Other members of your party must join the queue, and you should make sure your party can call or text you to meet up.)

2. When your party lets you know that it’s time for you to join them, go to the front of the attraction and tell the Cast Member you are using the Attraction Queue Meet-Up accommodation and need to meet up with your party in the queue.
(HELPFUL HINT: You don’t need to discuss your reason for waiting outside the queue with the Cast Member at the attraction.)

3. The Cast Member will help you meet your group to ride together.

This should make it a bit clearer for those who may need to use this service. It also makes it easier for the person who can not stand in line. Like the DAS return times, the individual can wait elsewhere and return for the attraction at the front of line.
