I know what you're saying. My first visit to DLR was in 1956 and I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in my big toe. Where's my shyster?

That qualifies for class action status.

That would probably put Disney out of business, I don't know if it's possible to find someone who has not been effected by Small World.

You know, someday in the future I'm sure I'll go to a Disney park again... and all of this talk of Disney-caused ailments is causing me distress now... I'm sure that means Disney owes me something just because I'm thinking about going there in the future.

Yes, I've heard that you can join a class-action lawsuit as a plaintiff if you were Potentially a victim, rather than an Actual victim! :cool:

Okay... my ailment is not Disney related but...

I worked on the Taylor Swift concert last sunday and then had to have an emergency appendectomy on tuesday, does that mean she caused it?
Can I get disability from her touring company since the doctors are telling me I can't work for about a month?
