New DAS System Requires Guests to Agree Not to File Class Action Lawsuits and More

The new Disability Access Service (DAS) system at Walt Disney World rolled out today, and part of the terms and conditions includes a clause requiring guests to waive the right to file class action lawsuits and more.

The verbiage specifically states:

“I understand that after an individualized decision regarding my personal circumstances I may be offered DAS, alternative accommodations, or no accommodations at all. I agree that any lawsuit I may file, or participate in, challenging this decision, the individualized discussion, or the overall process itself, shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in a purported class, consolidated or representative action or proceeding.”

The new system has guests speaking with a Cast Member via live video chat to answer questions and determine their eligibility for the service. According to the terms, those who wished to pursue legal action against Disney in regards to their determination would have to file on their own and could not join a class action lawsuit.

Similar terminology was added to the terms and conditions for Disneyland Resort’s Magic Key Passes following a class action lawsuit regarding blockout dates. The verdict was in favor of the passholders, and Disney must now pay out a settlement.

More Shingles Replaced on Stave Church Gallery in EPCOT Norway Pavilion

Crews have been replacing the shingles of the Stave Church Gallery in the Norway Pavilion of EPCOT. The refurbishment project began in March and about half of the shingles on the first roof were replaced a week ago.

The new shingles on the lowest roof are much brighter than the dirtier shingles above.

People standing near a building with a shingled roof and wooden exterior, featuring intricate carvings and a sign on the left with Norse-like script. Two large bushes are in the foreground.

The shingles are gray while the sheathing beneath is light brown. The sheathing will be painted once all the new shingles have been placed.

New shingles have been installed on the left side of this entrance. A few more rows of shingles still need to be installed on the gable. The shingles at the corners have to be cut to fit.
