Exactly. And those of us who don’t “look disabled” (in the eye of those employees) could easily be doubted or even denied with the old process. Every visit started out with stress for me because of this. I have documentation, let me show that once versus being questioned every single time.
Well put
I don't like having my documentation living on a 3rd party website on the internet....for me that is the biggest downside.
I’ve gotten at least three different notices in the mail that my info has been compromised on various sites (mortgage company, work & a CC). Nothing new, it’s happened nearly a handful of times already in 2023. One group filed a class action lawsuit as to negligence against one of the companies.
World we live in, at least they provide credit monitoring. The option is there to shut down new accounts, I’ve it in place. Need to buy a new phone, know from past experience I need to reinstate it for that modification to My contract with same provider I’ve had for decades. Least the part of “the solution” is working.
my point to this is, don’t think there is an opt out to store the info, other than not participating in the program. Despite HIPPA, i’m of the school of thought that any info is out there for those who hackers/cyber attackers with bad intentions and a certain skill set. admittedly, it’s not a pleasant thought. some things should be private and disclosed only to those we authorize. Unfortunately, it is the world in which we live.
when I picked mine up on UO in early January, I had to wait 30 minutes in line in a very loud area at the front of the park. I would have loved to have been able to just walk on in and start enjoying what I was there for, or at least been able to wait somewhere that wasn't loud. I'll have to do that wait at the beginning of every trip (although unlike the old process will only have to show the case number and not explain the reasons, so that's a plus!)
It would be nice to have a dedicated area, away from the fray.
We don’t even get the 14 days out here (I believe Orlando you can activate it for length of stay up to 14 days?) just one day at a time.
That was offered with an AP During early fall & a subsequent one.
if staying onsite believe it still runs with whatever length of stay tix you have. Things change, I’d be sure to check this before a visit.
we did discover a bit of a cog if using single day tix. In Dec, just used old on hand one day PH last trip vs renewing our APs. (Will pick APs back up before our next trip to USO. Plan is to visit USH early this fall for haunt season ’out west’, had so much fun there in the past.)
surprise, we did have to stop @ GS each of those days, since the person with the accommodation was using one day PH tix vs multi day or AP
