Overview
- Rhonda Smith of Frankfort, Kentucky filed suit in Orange County, Florida on December 22 seeking more than $50,000 from Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
- She alleges she tripped around 5 p.m. on October 24 when her foot caught in the interface between the embedded rail and adjacent pavers on Main Street, U.S.A.
- The filing claims the steel rails create level changes and gaps and that the area lacked adequate contrast warnings or protective measures during crowded conditions.
- Coverage notes the complaint references nighttime crowd conditions even though sunset that day occurred well after the reported incident time.
- Reporters say the case is in early stages with no operational changes announced, and any potential mitigation or removal of the tracks remains speculative.
