    This topic was covered extensively on a different Disney Board.

    If this is the new treatment for releasing adhesions I think Disney should ask for insurance reimbursement. Then I'm sure they wouldn't mind sending her to the front of the line as many times as she would like.

    You know anything is possible but this whole thing smells a little(or a lot). People will sue over anything, after all lawsuits are no longer a way to right a wrong they are a way to make a living for all to many.

    I'm pretty sure in the end Disney will cave. After all as I heard a comedian say once "a jury is made up of 12 people not smart enough to get out of jury duty".;) BTW that's a JOKE so don't take it too serious.

    Now I feel terrible...yes, I must confess that I am two timing you all. Maybe even more than two. I am so ashamed.

    I guess I should leave LP forever.
