Default Here We Go, No Time To Waist

DRAFT has been closely monitoring a class action case that involves Disney World's refusal to allow persons with disabilities to bring a Segway into the park.

DRAFT did not instigate this lawsuit and we are not a party to it, but it affects all of our members.

The parties have reached a settlement that affects every class member, including you. The settlement denies people with disabilities the right to bring their Segway into the both the Florida and California theme parks. Instead, it allows Disney to develop their own standing electric convenience vehicle that it will rent to people with mobility disabilities who need them, as long as the supply lasts.

DRAFT strongly disapproves of this settlement

We need your help to show the court why we object. We have prepared a fillable form declaration for you to fill out and return that we will file on your behalf in court. It is important that not only all of our members participate to ensure that the settlement does not go through but that you reach out to others with disabilities who use the Segway as their assistive device to encourage them to participate as well.

By remaining silent and allowing this proposed settlement to take effect you will forever foreclose your ability to use a Segway as your mobility device at Disney venues in both Florida and California.

The notice of class action settlement which describes the terms of the settlement and the class member's obligations if they intend to object is available in PDF format on the DRAFT webpage. The hearing to approve or disapprove of the settlement will be on March 31, 2009 in Orlando, Florida. However, all of the objections must be filed by March 12, 2009 we need your completed declarations by March 1, 2009 .

DRAFT has retained an attorney to assist in filing the objections and to appear in court on our behalf. If you would like to object to the proposed settlement you may do so by completing the declaration available on www.draft.org and submitting it to us.
