That would be great for me. I only recently came to define myself as having a disability, but long before I accepted the label there were access issues I had that I didn't feel worthy to ask for. "Not making trouble" is a powerful part of a lot of people's acculturation.
A big one, for me, that people tend not to think about is that it would be great if areas with long lines (e.g. to get into ballrooms) had seating opportunities other than the floor. You can't provide enough seats for everybody, but "some" is better than "none". If there were a way for people who can't stand for long periods -- many of whom do not have wheelchairs or other visible outward signals -- to maintain a presence in line without standing, that would be good.
