Today’s post focuses on the top five attractions with the highest number of attempts in each park among survey respondents. A place on this list does NOT guarantee that people were able to experience these attractions, however info on the percentage of users who requested accommodations and whether the CMs attempted to help is included with the list as well. Bolded items are those where a majority of guests who did ask for accommodations were offered some form of assistance.
NOTE: A continuing trends in the data is that Walt Disney World Resort has generally higher percentages of Cast Members offering some form of a “Return to Queue” type accommodation, be that Reunification, Queue Re-entry, or Return Times than Disneyland Resort. Please keep that in mind while reading through this post.
As always, please note that this information comes from anonymous survey results, and I make no claims that it is 100% accurate. This site is not endorsed by The Walt Disney Company or any of it’s subsidiaries. This is a blog run by a Disney Parks fan, who also happens to be disabled, and the RTQ Database is an attempt to make sense of the changes to the disability accommodations, recognize trends occurring around the
“alternate accommodations” being recommended to disabled guests, and help guests understand what some possibilities of what kinds of situations they may experience.
