    Am I too cynical for thinking it’s more likely everyone at Disney knew their target audience was going to a specific type of therapist, and is just pandering to them?

    This is just wrong though. The theory of continental drift was proposed hundreds of years ago. We just didn’t know how it happened. Plate tectonics is just the mechanism that explains it.

    Just like people knew that they needed to breath to survive for a long time before we knew that it was because there was oxygen in the air that our cells needed to under go cellular respiration.

    The barriers to mobility are the giant, dangerous roads and parking lots between everything that car dependency requires. Cycleable/walkable places with good public transit are easier to get around for everyone with or without a car, regardless of disabilities.

    Also, disabilities exclude more people from being able to drive than from walking/cycleing/using public transit. Not to mention people excluded from driving due to age. Or finances. Or not being able to get a license due to lack of English literacy. Or not having a permanent address. Or people that just would prefer to not drive. All these people deserve the right to be able to get around, and car dependency denies them that right.
