Forcing me to walk through *gasp* Florida nature.
"Your honor, because of Disney's negligent design forcing guests to walk miles of concrete, which resulted in recurrent blisters to my pinkie toe, the only remedy Disney provided was to walk through nature. Said action and contributory negligence on the part of Disney resulted in my being attacked by the Florida state animal - the cockroach. Such attack resulted in injury, anxiety, pain and suffering, and permanent disability as I now have a morbid fear of cockroaches and nightmares in which I dream I'm a giant cockroach (my apologies to Kafka). In addition to lost wages due to my inability to work as I can no longer go outside anymore due to Katsaridaphobia, I've incurred enormous medical bills as a result of the daily physical and mental therapy I must endure in order to lead some semblance of a normal life, along with prohibitive costs for prescriptive medication I take so I can function. Which is why I am suing in excess of $4B. Disney has made at least that from their new Star Wars film."
So bad you had to have prescription medication? I don't think Medical MARIJIUANA counts. BRAHAhahahahahahaaaa.
But I have one,
On the far side of World Showcase, the fireworks were going off so it was after 9:00 pm. Fireworks shoosting all over the place and the show is ending. I hear a barrage of fireworks fire off behind me and head for the center of World Showcase lagoon.
Something hits my eye and it starts burning. I sit down thinking it's nothing and most of the people are filing out. I am pretty much alone at this point. My eye is really tearing and it still burns so I am now trying to make may way to Future World. I remembered just on the other side there was a nurses station. I'm holding the eye with my hand, to protect it, trying to get to that nurse station and I finally get there and it's CLOSED. after hours I guess. The park still used the phone system called World Key so I headed for the nearest one to ask for assistance. When I got there, It was SHUT DOWN. I couldn't believe my luck.
So here I am, holding my hand over my eye looking for anybody I could to get help as it was still burning and tearing. The only person I saw was a security person by Communicore. So I headed toward that person. I get there and he's trying to flag me to the exit. I told him I Needed a hand. Now the questions, where were you , what happened, how do you feel, etc etc. From that point, they were creating a paper record of everything I said and did. They do have a paramedic team on site and they were called. Now all they tell these guys is they have a guest that may be hurt and where they are, nothing else so here they come with the gurney and all. I am figuring they are kind of angry because it was time to go home and now I am stopping that.
... So I am hit with all the questions again. I said look, something from the fireworks hit my eye and its burning. They looked with a flashlight and said, YUP, the eye is RED alright... I won't even tell you what I was thinking at that moment... So the immediate thing to do was to rinse the eye out. They had me do that twice and it felt much better. It was determined that It was just an irritation, YA THINK! and I could go home.
... Then I was turned over to a Disney Person in charge. I was walked over to a guest relations building. Again, They took my name and address, where I was staying, have I ever done this before, ( just kidding on the last one ) etc, etc. I had to sign a paper or two and They gave me an address of a hospital and a phone number in case I had a problem. I think I was there almost an hour before I could finally go back to the hotel. Luckily, I didn't have any problem after all that but sheesh.
... In the morning I could feel a slight soreness in the eye but it was good but I did think about how they really need to protect themselves against someone that would use that to try to get money.
EXAMPLE..
... So here some person watching the fireworks, they hear a piece of the fireworks hit the walkway. They start to yell that they were hit in the head. Oh the pain of it all. They fall on the ground and say they can't move from the impact. Yelling and carrying on, making sure every guest within earshot is hearing them. Yelling to call her mother if she doesn't make it.... Might need a witness, ya know. Finally a Disney security person comes by, now this "injured " guest is laying flat on the ground saying they can't feel their legs and moaning loudly. The paramedic are called and here they come with their little gurney. By now shes passed out, (watching them with one eye) as they throw her on to the gurney and race over the brick roadway, rattling every bone in her body, to the ambulance. That would had shaken her up a bit I think.
So far she hasn't acrewed any cost, Disney will eat everything up to the ambulance. The ambulance ride to the hospital is from 200 to 500 dollars if not more and then the cost will really pile on in tests to find out why she can't feel her legs......
.... Gotta have guts to do that .....
I remember the guest that went to court in a wheel chair and her head was all wrapped up, telling the judge that a stone fell off of Cinderellas Castle and hit her square in the head. You know it is a lot of trouble to come up with a real good story like that. Too bad they didn't look at the blue prints because the Castle is made of fiberglas, there isn't a stone in it.
I'm assuming the attractions are staying as part of the land. But even in your case if they did sell off the pieces of the attractions and move them somewhere else the combined value of all the attractions in the Magic Kingdom surely must be more than 414 million.
