One time we were at MK and there was a woman in her 20's who was totally wheelchair bound. She was extremely small. We were waiting to get on Peter Pan at the wheelchair entrance when she was getting off with I believe her sister or mother. The CM screamed at them to hurry up. My goodness, the sister/mother had a hard time lifting the woman as she was so tiny and could not help at all. DH rushed up and helped the two women so they would not fall. The CM was extremely rude to them and yelled again when the woman was being put in the wheelchair how they had better not go on Haunted Mansion as the ride would not stop for them.
Now, we have been on HM many times when the ride stops to get disabled people on/off and/or slows down. We talked to the women and told them the CM was wrong and if they would just wait until we got off Peter Pan, we would walk over to HM with them and ride it with them and help. WE did and they had a great ride. We also gave them information on which rides would safely stop/slow for them to get on/off around the park.
Sometimes it takes a person who has a family member with a disability to realize when others might need help.
