I do not trust the app with the waiting times what I was referring to is what if I get a return time of 90 minutes and then walk by that same attraction only to find out the waiting time is less than what they just gave me.
A lot of what you listed either does have a waiting time (Like the train when you said it doesn't) or things my son just won't do nor sit still in (like the Lincoln theater thing we tried that once didn't work) nor does he want to stand on the street listening to the Dapper Dans, I thought for sure once he would do the Jedi Academy as he LOVES Star Wars but once it started he darted.
I realize what Disney is and isn't going to do, and the reason I am freaking out before we have done this is because I know my son and I know what does and doesn't work for him and this doesn't work for him.
I have an annual pass and if we can no longer visit Disney because of the changes they choose to make I expect a partial refund. There are thousands of other things they could have done. They chose this one. I am NOT the only person upset with this and am not the only person saying this isn't going to work for my child.
Earlier in this thread I suggested downloading more than one app, so you can compare - with DL, the wait times app I like is "MouseWait." I plan on looking at more than one app to see if there is a major difference in the wait times - if there is, I will ask them to double check or pick a different ride to ask for.
If you walk past within minutes, then I would stop and speak to the CMs at the attraction or at the nearest kiosk.
I did in fact list things that sometimes have waits, but generally never longer than 10-15 minutes, which is about how long you would wait in a FastPass line anyway. For most things, like Tiki Room, Mark Twain/Colombia, and Train, if you need to wait for the next show/boat/train, speak to the CMs working it. Especially if you have a DAS in hand with your son's picture, and say he is autistic and has ADHD, can we please wait off to the side (for the train, that may be where wheelchair parties wait, for the boats, there is a place off to the side they save for wheelchair groups, and I am sure the CM who works Tiki Room will work with you (like have you wait by the exit, go in there (which is what wheelchairs do anyway) so you can leave if you need to.
If he will not sit for a show, and he will not stand for a show, how have you handled waiting in the long GAC lines thus far? I am not being sarcastic - it may be that your present system can be adapted. Because I have a GAC, and I know how long it takes to get on Pirates or HM or Peter Pan, even Jungle Cruise.
Will he use a stroller, special needs stroller, or wheelchair, to help give him a private space?
What I can guarantee you is that Disney is not going to refund any part of your annual passes. I have family who works in Ticket Sales, and she explained the contracts to us, which my wife and I read entirely before signing. Even if we are in the hospital and can never go to Disney for an entire year, we have to pay. I actually think our estate must pay even if we are dead. So I can tell you that there will not be a refund issued.
