Aguilar visited the Anaheim park with her two adult daughters on Aug. 22, 2021. When they arrived at the Jungle Cruise attraction, Aguilar, who was physically disabled, was told by employees that a wheelchair-accessible boat was unavailable, the Register reported.
While the attraction does have a ADA-accessible boat that allows disabled visitors to board without getting out of their wheelchair, Aguilar opted to ride another boat with the assistance of her daughters.
After the ride ended, Aguilar’s daughters helped her off the boat. Instead of assisting, the lawsuit alleges cast members laughed at Aguilar’s struggles...
Aguilar ended up losing her balance on blocks placed on the steps, fell back and fractured her right femur. She was taken to a hospital where she remained for 10 days before moving to an Oxnard rehabilitation center.
Aguilar stayed there for five months before she got an infection, went into septic shock and died on Jan. 29, 2022, according to the lawsuit.

The conduct of the Disney Sidney’s alone merits a few million in general principles.
They don’t call it “da Happy Place” for nothing.
Disneyland did not discriminate against her.
Because they laugh at ALL cripples and disabled. Gimp lines.
One problem anymore is that there are many of these giant obese people who are too fat to walk because it tires them so. There are only so many of those electric carts in stores and venues. Obese is now called handicapped. That leaves few carts for the genuine handicapped.
She was massively obese.
Surprised she could get into the ride at all. Not at all surprised she couldn't get out.
Going through life as a ginormous corpulent hambeast is not without difficulties.
I think people push the limits of their activity level expecting others to fix things for them....elderly, like me, and disabled have to be cognizant of what they can reasonably do and what they can't do...
Who’s eating Gilbert Grape?
“I don’t know how you sue people for laughing.”
True. But the employees stood aside and didn’t assist a disabled person when it was obvious she was having issues. I expect that Disney’s Risk Management office and insurance provider are sweating a bit.
I understand but maybe they weren’t supposed to help or encourage someone who assumed their own risk by not waiting for the handicapped boat.
The problem here is that the woman should have never got on that ride.
There are probably more details about this that we don’t know from both sides.
“The problem here is that the woman should have never got on that ride.”
True. (See tagline.)
Medical weed, generation whatever... fire those muddle headed dopes.
Yeah, that was my question. Is she 'disabled' or just fat?
It is Aguilars fault. She refusd to use rhe ADA boat.
