Disneyland employees laughed at struggling disabled guest before fall, wrongful death suit alleges

SANTA ANA, Calif. — Disneyland employees laughed at the struggles of a disabled woman rather than help her out of a Jungle Cruise boat before she suffered a fall that ultimately led to her death, a lawsuit alleges.

A wrongful death lawsuit against Disneyland, alleging that a 66-year-old Ventura County woman fell while getting out of a Jungle Cruise boat and died five months later due to complications from her injuries, has been assigned to a federal judge.

The lawsuit filed by the family of Joanne Aguilar against the Walt Disney company, its theme park division and Disneyland was assigned on Jan. 5 to United States District Judge Cormac Carney at the Ronald Reagan Federal Building and United States Courthouse in Santa Ana.
