In reading supplemental information, Rise of the Resistance, Ratatouille, 7 Dwarfs Mine Train have all been confirmed as being for individual purchase. And for busy dates, I can definitely see those rides selling out before the off site guests are allowed to purchase.

For sure. But that's a minimum not a maximum. I'd imagine flight of passage will be in there also. Will they add a second ride per park? A third? Inquiring minds want all the details!

It's $15 per person per pay and I bet everyone has to have it. They know the average person doesn't go for just one or two days like Universal.

I think this is actually great and if done correctly can be cost effective. Forego hopper options, do less days in the parks and enjoy each park to its fullest. I am thrilled of this new option.

I remember when Pirates had almost no line. Don't know what the deal is with that, but it's either bigger crowds than previous years, or FP options made it more popular.

We may be getting a disability pass for my hip, anyway. The doctor doesn't want me walking on it or standing a lot on the hip until it's replaced. I got the right one a while back, and now the left one is hurting a lot. He did an x-ray and said we need to follow the procedure of shots first, then I get to go to a specialist and then I have to be on a waiting list. If we can do it between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I would be happy to have it done. We have a trip in October with the kids and grandkids.

I am still 80 pounds lighter than I was two years ago, I have kept the weight off. I thought that would make my hip issue go away. It sure feels better than it did, but it's wearing out, and even my slimmer self is feeling the pain.
They wont give you a disability pass for mobility alone. As long as you can wait in line in a wheelchair you have to. Just be prepared for that.

IMO they did that years ago but I don't begrudge them from charging what the market will bear.

And instead of a bigger price increase for a system that may have worked for one subset of guests, but was overall overwhelmed.

Gonna go to Universal? Halloween Horror nights is back on this year-cannot wait. And Islands of Adventure has one of the best coasters in the country right now in Velocicoaster! Spent more time out of my seat than in it-mostly very back row-best for airtime and being held in only by the lap restraint.

UO top tier pass still has free valet parking, free prime parking, built in after 4 express pass, and a free ticket to their premier halloween event-along with a lounge for passholders. Disney has...??? for passholders?

Yea I’m a UOAP holder. I flew to Orlando for the velocicoaster passholder preview. I have only been on twice but it’s amazing. I still love hagrids though.
I’m not so much of a HHN fan to be honest. To me it’s just “ok”. I’d rather spend the money on the Orlando informer meet up ticket

You can get a disability pass for any reason. My daughters qualified due to their emotional issues.

But if you stay at a deluxe hotel at Universal it is free for up to 4 people. Disney offers nothing

I would not want to stay in a hotel room just to get the fast passes. It is torture to stay in a hotel room esp with 4 people.

You don't stay in the hotel room if you do not want to. I have booked many times the cheapest deluxe throw away room just for the unlimited express pass for two days. You get the pass for checkin day and checkout day but do not have to use a room at all.

I just drive back and forth from MVC, HGVC or DVC room. As an AP holder, parking at the parks is included. You get the better and bigger accomodations plus a cheaper way to get unlimited express pass for up to 5 individuals. Though when Lowes had their You First loyalty program, we always got a deluxe suite when booking a regular room.Best hotel loyalty programs IMHO. That made staying overnight acceptable.

Read their own website. It is very clear that people who can sit in a wheelchair or on a scooter with no other issues, must wait in line. But it is up to the cast member’s discretion. I hope luck is with you.

They did qualify for the disability pass and they could walk. People who are using a wheelchair or scooter with no other issues may not have a disability.

The Disney website says: “Disney Parks’ goal is to accommodate guests who aren’t able to wait in a conventional queue environment due to a disability (including non-apparent disabilities).”

They ask you why you can’t wait in line. You explain the issue and they say yes. It is the same at Disney and Universal.
