I think an under appreciated aspect of this change is that an increasing proportion of adult park goers have a diagnosis and are requesting accommodation.
If only a small proportion of guest present with a lower level of needs, the park will be required to accommodate them.
If the proportion of guests with this same level of needs reach’s a significant percentage of total park goers, then accommodating that level of needs will affect the running of the park and the ability of Disney to accommodate others.
This will lead to Disney offering a lesser level of accommodation to individuals they used to be able to help, essentially because they have to treat everyone with similar needs equally and there are a lot more of them now.
I think it is going to tip the balance of whether WDW is worth it for some families and that is sad.
