The conduct of the Disney Sidney’s alone merits a few million in general principles.

[FlingWingFlyer]

They don’t call it “da Happy Place” for nothing.

[drSteve78]

Disneyland did not discriminate against her.

Because they laugh at ALL cripples and disabled. Gimp lines.

Ordinarily I'd side with the family but they were told the ADA boat was unavailable and the family chose to have her ride anyway. The family were the ones to assist in embarking/disembarking. They note there were blocks on the ramp(?) but no one else had a problem with them because they weren't disabled. I'm sorry they lost their Mom but I fail to see how Disney is at fault here.

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.

5 months of rehab for broken femur sounds like something else was going on.

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 am heavy myself, but not that heavy....

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...

“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.

[dforest]

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.

[MayflowerMadam]

“The problem here is that the woman should have never got on that ride.”

True. (See tagline.)

[Clutch Martin]

Medical weed, generation whatever... fire those muddle headed dopes.

Note to KTLA: I can see why you chose not to use a pic of Ms. Aguilar.

Yeah, that was my question. Is she 'disabled' or just fat?

[moviefan8]

It is Aguilars fault. She refusd to use rhe ADA boat.
