Here is the Disney response to the lawsuit - https://pmcdeadline2.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/disney-resorts-autism-action-response.pdf
Will be an interesting read taking them side-by-side. So far I'm of the opinion the judge should site "Door vs. Where the Good Lord Split You" when he throws the case out...but I'm only a couple dozen pages in.
I think that there are possible solutions that Disney should explore, but there is definitely some merit to the lawsuit as it stands right now. Mind you most of the problems are not what official Disney policy is, but rather what has become the operating norm for those with DAS cards and other needs, such as wheelchairs, not being able to do stairs, etc. Where the lawsuit doesn't have merit is that they expect to be able to completely bypass the wait time. So, I am guessing the courts will order Disney to do something to accommodate them, but not require Disney to eliminate the waiting. My thoughts are that the courts will order Disney to eliminate the return times and instead say the card is not valid for the length of the standby line after riding the attraction.
Maybe I'm not following, it does seem that 'Disney specifically denies.... that they refuse to review medical documentation that guests provide them' 193 line 12-14. So do they or don't they? I always liked that they did take the doctors letter and made copy..whatever they did with it. Can we still bring it so they have it In case we get separated?
I definitely think they need to revisit what to do for WC vehicles. You guys definitely wait longer/twice.
For the regular vehicle DAS user, I think it's both - sometimes longer, sometimes shorter if you get a return time just before the time goes up. But I also think the ability to do other things while waiting is kind of an even trade for the extra few minutes. There's just no way to make it exactly equal since the wait times are estimates.

It's standard to deny it. Anyone can forge a doctors note. Many can get their doctor to write one even if they don't necessarily need it. CMs aren't medical experts and the diagnoses wouldn't tell them what the needs are.
