Sounds like yet another "advocacy group" looking for publicity, to me.
Disney is very concerned about safety. If there was DANGER, they would have gotten the man off the boat, even if the wheelchair had to be left behind.
The ADA was put in place to level the playing field,.....not to give disabled people a false sense of entitlement!
My problem with things like this is that Disney is THE BEST company when it comes to accomodations for disabled people! Some disabled "advocates" have said that Disney is NOT the best, but have yet to say who does it better than Disney.
My fear is that if silly lawsuits continue to pop up like this, Disney will one day stop putting the care and effort into accomodating the various needs of disabled people. Such care and effort means so much to so many disabled people. It would be a shame if that was ever to be cut back, or Disney just lost interest because they get sued at every turn.
Until someone can name a specific company of government entity that puts as much care and effort into accomodating special needs as Disney does.....these "advocacy groups" need to go jump in the lake, and leave the mouse alone!!!!!!!!
