close Disney May Not Be Magical For Autistic Guests: 11th Circ.

Quote:
The Eleventh Circuit revived 30 consolidated lawsuits alleging Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S. Inc. fails to properly accommodate guests with autism by making them wait for rides, ruling Friday that a bench trial should decide whether those visitors have access to the same experience as nonautistic patrons.

The three-judge panel found that, although Disney's Disability Access Service program offers significant benefits — such as not having to physically wait in line — the plaintiffs provided evidence that indicates autistic guests still suffer from "virtual" waiting...

What is virtual waiting?
