The thing is, you cannot live life without accidentally being touched somewhere you don't like, it's impossible unless you run around in a large hamster ball. Accidents happen, it is best to just accept this fact and move on with your life. It is generally very easy to determine if it was an accident or not and this was clearly an accident(if it even happened at all). If someone accidentally brushing up against you ruins your vacation and causes physical harm, perhaps you have bigger medical needs and probably shouldn't be vacationing at WDW where it is almost guaranteed for this to happen.

This case reeks of lawyer...no offense to the member of this profession...who probably agrees. :p:
Heck, it usually costs extra to be groped! :rolleyes:

Why did she wait 2 years to file? Could she not decide if it was a grope or not? Or did a squirrel get in the way?

After you get the drink, don't forget to open up the emergency exit and slide down!

Maybe Disney could countersue for the "extra magic" she received???

Not a bad idea, maybe it would give some of the litigation hungry nutballs a bit of a pause to think about it. (or would that be paws?) :rolleyes:

Since I live right near Philly we've been hearing about this case for the last day or two nonstop. I got so pissed when I actually saw the first report (although, Quinn was doing sign language for Donald, so that was kinda cute :) ). There are so many things I want to say, but they're all jumbled up at the moments (blame it on preparing the onth-end financials). It just irks me that this incident (IF there was one) "ruined" this family's whole vacation. Really?!?! I had five of six family members really ill last vacation and it didn't ruin our vacation; we just made the best of the times we went to the parks and took it easy and relaxed back at the room. UGH

And, hey, Freak....Epcot is my absolute favorite park...always has been (thanks for standing up for it, Shorty!).

It could really be a fun pleading to draft:

[INDENT][font="Times New Roman"]1. Defendant The Walt Disney Company (hereinafter "Disney") denies each and every, all and singular, the allegations in Plaintiff's Complaint and demands strict proof thereof.

2. In the alternative, Disney states that the alleged conduct was not actually an assault, but an attraction intended for the enjoyment of Disney guests.

3. By way of affirmative defense, Disney would show that the perpetrator of the alleged conduct was a waterfowl in the Anatidae family of birds, commonly known as a duck, and that Disney cannot be held responsible for the conduct of wild birds.

4. By further way of affirmative defense, Disney alleges that the only boobs present on the date of the alleged incident were the Plaintiff and members of Plaintiff's party (hereinafter "SG's").
