COURT RULES THAT REASONABLE IS, IN FACT, REASONABLE

And Puts A Ding In The Rent-A-Gimp Business

by Bob Walsh

Up until 2013 Walt Disney World had a very open ADA policy.  People covered by ADA got UNLIMITED front-of-the-line privileges.  If you had a gimp in your group you could ride, then come to the head of the line and ride again, then come to the head of the line and ride again, all freaking day.  This got so bad that Disney started getting serious negative feedback from their "regular" customers.  It got so bad that a cottage industry developed where groups of people would actually rent a gimp so their whole group would get to jump lines all day.  

So, back in 2013, Disney changed the policy.  Donna Lorman, who has an autistic adult son, sued.  She DEMANDED that he, and persons in his company, continue to get UNLIMITED head-of-the-line privileges.

Early this week U. S. District Court Judge Anne Conway ruled that Ms. Lorman's position was, in fact, unreasonable and that it created a situation that was clearly ripe for abuse.
