If you still can't see it, there's a woman sueing WDW for $200,000 with the claim that Donald Duck groped her breast during an Epcot visit 2 years ago. She also claims that she suffered severe physical injury and after 2 years she still has nightmares, nausea and other various maladies. It's a crock, of course, and she won't get very far with the suit.

The risk of rediculous law suits will force Disney & others to denie guests contact with their characters. Yet another example of how a few can ruin it for the many. I can only assume that this woman included the human CM escort in her complaint since it's been many yrs since the characters have appeared without their 'handlers'. We know the duck wasn't waddleing around alone.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros "The really sad thing here is that eventually the characters won't be allowed to interact with the guests at all." Technically, they're not allowed to now. They can stand there with their arms out in the 'hug me' position, but the first physical contact has to come from the guests. It's a subtle thing that most people don't pick up on, but it's very very rare that a character touches a guest before the guest touches them, giving 'permission' to touch back. Sadly, I think this is another reason that all the characters have handlers and Photo Pass people these days. It's a lot harder to press charges when you have several witnesses standing by who are also trained in what to look for. Yes, they have other jobs too, but they see the characters enough to know what is and isn't allowed.
