The land is not 14.1 acres.
I have a family member, my mother, who is in a wheelchair and we have little issue assisting her onto most rides and experiences. She only has one leg. But again, we transfer and assist. As a family, we are consistently appalled at the number of people at WDW claiming disabilities and riding around on massive scooters. They take over a bus, and little kids wait in the rain for the next bus because Jumbo took three seats and standing room for four more for their power scooter. But watch Jumbo step off the scooter when something doesn't accommodate them. I applaud Disney's plan for transfers rather than accommodating the ever exploding scooter population in this new land, as does my mother, wheelchair bound. (We use the monorail when we can and otherwise bypass the bus system at WDW and call for a taxi so as to get where we are going faster; again the line of Jumbos waiting for the bus usually takes the space for a wheelchair. We also don't want to tie up the world loading, but that's just us.) We've never found any place as reasonable or accommodating as WDW for true disabilities, but life is a balance and we don't want to ruin everyone else's experience. If people would be more reasonable, less demanding, and less self-centered, I think you'll find accommodation abounds. Just my two cents.
I have no words to adequately respond. Well none I will use here.I have a family member, my mother, who is in a wheelchair and we have little issue assisting her onto most rides and experiences.

Can we , at least, add a preemptive requirement that no Star Wars attraction should require 2 hands to enter, secure, or operate such an attraction (since Luke now only has 1 hand)?

You had me pretty much in your corner except for the jumbo bit. People's sizes won't tell you what their limitations are. There are probably some that are faking but I doubt that most are.I have a family member, my mother, who is in a wheelchair and we have little issue assisting her onto most rides and experiences.

I've been mostly in a wheelchair since an accident last August and it's hard. This experience has really opened my eyes. I look alright and can walk a bit but I'm far from where I should be. You just never know.
You are so much more restrained than me. I rewrote my response 3 times and feel that I'll still get points for it. Oh well, I like to live on the edge.
And I oddly never get points for stuff I expect anyway...
I really am not restrained,, but all my inner response would do is end the thread.
Agree - it has become politicized. Let's just lock it.This thread may need to be put out of its misery. dooo iiiiit
because [...]took three seats and standing room for four more for their power scooter.
It uses the same entrance, but the entrance is not the exit while crowd flow is being controlled.
The exit will be the path the leads to Africa and lets out by FOLK
