That might explain why the six girls kept swapping their time in the chair. :shithappens:

Was at disney world in January with my family. We had our austitic daughter with us. She was never discriminated against. This lawsuit is just greed pure and simple. Its sickening to see parents using their child's disability to get money like this. As well as the slimeball lawyer representing them

Yeah, I agree. Just greed.

I also agree that having to do a wheelchair a WDW is not fun. My wife broke her ankle just before a trip so we had to rent one.

It wasn't "fun". She was able to get up and walk short distances (well, hop) and Disney couldn't have been more accommodating.

But one humors bit. The hill as you are going toward Splash Mountain. I jokingly told my wife I was just going to give her a push and let her go. I gave her a push and then grabbed the handles of the wheelchair, just as a fake-out. Well, I grabbed the grips with a little pull to stop the chair and the grips slid right off and she went on coasting.

It took a second to register, and the had to run and grab the chair. The wife loves that story now, she didn't find it too amusing at the time though.
