Abstrakt: This article discusses ongoing lawsuits against Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., brought by people with autism and their families. These lawsuits illuminate an ethical dilemma about the appropriate scope of disability equality. This article suggests that Disney and the courts have adopted a standard of simple equality where all theme park patrons are treated the same way, regardless of ability. I argue, however, that the standard of equality that should be used moving forward is equal access to advantage - specifically, equal access to opportunities that enable people with disabilities to have an enjoyable theme park experience.
