The happiest place on Earth just got a little less happy.


A woman is suing Disney after being attacked by a wild bird while visiting Walt Disney World in Florida.

The lawsuit claims that the victim, Lisa Dixon, received massive brain trauma and several herniated discs in her neck as a result of the attack. Dixon's lawyer compared the bird's strike to being hit with a baseball.

The incident happened in May 2017, at the Walt Disney World Resort.

According to the Associated Press, Dixon is seeking $15,000 in damages, saying that Disney failed to warn visitors about the presence of such birds, among other allegations regarding the attack.

At the time of the attack, Dixon was walking along a dock towards the Polynesian Village Resort, one of the many hotels in Florida's Walt Disney World Resort. She reportedly was on her way to a boat, which would journey down the Seven Seas Lagoon.

Many people commented on the attack on social media, with most saying the woman isn't justified in suing Disney.




This isn't the first time Disney has been in hot water regarding the safety of park visitors regarding local wildlife.

In 2016, two-year-old Lane Graves was attacked and killed by an alligator at Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. The alligator reportedly snatched the child from the shore of the Seven Seas Lagoon.

His family refused to file a lawsuit against Disney.




Dixon's lawyer, Thomas Schmitt, told the press Disney presented a "false sense of security" to the visitors of the park regarding the presence of the birds. He claims Disney should have better warned their guests.

He said:

"If there's a company that's well-versed in safety, it should be Disney."

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
