Description

The Most Magical Place on Earth… for everyone? Or are recent changes turning Disney into a place of exclusion for disabled guests?



On this week’s episode of Pushing Limits, Talia Thompson Mariano sits down with Natasha Caudill and Charisma Mangahas to explore the fallout from Disney’s controversial overhaul of its Disability Access Service (DAS). Are these new policies protecting the system—or punishing those who truly need it?


How do these updates impact guests with physical disabilities, and what might they mean for the future of accessible theme park experiences?


Tune in for a revealing conversation that goes beyond the magic.


This program was hosted by Talia Thompson Mariano, with recording by Jacob Lesner-Buxton. Sound editing by Talia Thompson Mariano and Denny Daughters.
