Disney to Ban Visitors , Who Lie About Disabilities.
The Walt Disney Company says that there has
been an uptick in fraudulent disability claims at
its parks from people attempting to gain Disability Access Services (DAS), 'New York Post' reports.
.
On April 15, the company said that anyone found to have lied about a disability to obtain these services will be banned from Disney parks permanently.
.
If it is determined that any of the
statements a Guest made in the
process of obtaining DAS are not true,
the Guest will be permanently barred
from entering the Walt Disney World
Resort and the Disneyland Resort, The Walt Disney Company, via statement.
Any previously purchased Annual
Passes, Magic Key passes, tickets and
other park products and services...
will be forfeited and not refunded, The Walt Disney Company, via statement.
DAS allows people with disabilities
to skip waiting in lines.
The company's website previously indicated
that the service was for “guests who have
difficulty tolerating extended waits in a
conventional queue environment due to a disability.”.
The website has since been updated to read, , “DAS is intended to accommodate a small
percentage of Guests who, due to a developmental disability like autism or similar, are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period or time.”.
At Walt Disney World, “in-person registration will no longer be available at theme park Guest Relations locations starting May 20, 2024,” Disney said.
Instead, DAS registrations will
take place via virtual video chat.
.
However, at Disneyland, guests can
apply for DAS via either virtual chat or an
"accessibility services" window beginning June 18.
.
Anyone who currently has DAS will be required to re-apply, 'New York Post' reports.

Perry was found dead at his
home in Los Angeles on Oct. 28.
He was 54 years old. .
His death, which was ruled accidental, was
confirmed to be caused by the effects of ketamine.
According to an autopsy report, the 'Friends' actor had 3.54 micrograms per milliliter of ketamine in his bloodstream.
That's almost three times the typical amount a person would normally use, 'New York Post' reports. .
In his 2022 memoir,
'Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,' Perry described ketamine as a "giant exhale.".
‘Oh,’ I thought, ‘This is what happens when
you die.’ Yet I would continually sign up for
this s--- because it was something different,
and anything different is good, Matthew Perry, via 'Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing'.
Other factors contributing to Perry's death included drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine.
Local police and the DEA launched an investigation in May to determine where Perry got the ketamine that led to his death.

simply a fact, not a 'debunked theory.', Elon Musk, to the 'New York Post'.

Drinking Coffee While Pregnant , May Make Your Kids Shorter, Study Suggests.
The study was published by the
'Journal of the American Medical Association.'.
2,500 children between the ages of 4 and 8 were surveyed around the country.
Instead of relying on mothers to accurately report their coffee consumption as with previous studies.
blood samples were used to find exact caffeine and paraxanthine levels.
Researchers found that drinking half a cup of coffee each day while pregnant may make your child an inch shorter by the time they enter elementary school.
Researchers found that drinking half a cup of coffee each day while pregnant may make your child an inch shorter by the time they enter elementary school.
Though the clinical implications of an approximately 2-cm height difference are unclear, our findings for height are similar in magnitude to those of children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy, Study researchers, via 'New York Post'.
We consistently observed shorter height, which has been associated with increased risk of multiple cardiometabolic diseases in both pregnant and nonpregnant individuals, Study researchers, via 'New York Post'.
It is important to determine whether in utero caffeine exposure has long-term growth implications in offspring, Study researchers, via 'New York Post'.
'New York Post' reports that previous studies have also linked a lower birth weight to moderate coffee consumption while pregnant
