Today my DD with her aunt went to some Xmas pop up thing, which had a character meet n Greet with one of her fav characters.
her rang me on the way home whilst I was talking with a friend and said how when they got there the line was massive and she took DD to the front to speak to the lady ( DD has visible tubes ) to ask how long the wait was in which they replied 2 hours. Aunt told DD there was no way she would stand in that cold for 2 hours and that maybe they could do something else. The worker then asked the front people if they didn’t mind if they Let her quickly run in to do the meet and greet, they were fine with this and DD got to go in.
my friend was mortified 😂 she was like I would be fuming and what about the people behind the first family what if they cared ?
she thinks it was very unfair as it was such a long line that everyone had to wait.
would you have minded ?

That's unfair. If your dd isn't well enough to wait you should have arranged with the organisers to come back at another scheduled time rather than let her push in front of little kids who've been waiting 2hrs in the cold, that's out of order

You do understand the purpose of accessibility and equality yes? To level things up. I am sure OP would much rather her daughter was not unwell and could queue for two hours too. I would 1000 times rather not use small adaptions such as access passes if I had a choice not to have a disability. Honestly, shame on you.

Of course nice people don't mind, but as a disabled person you can get an access card so you can show it and don't have to wait in the queue.

It's expensive though, and only accepted by a number of venues who have signed up for this one specific card.

Your friend isn't a very nice person!
