The Most Magical Place on Earth… for everyone? Or are recent changes turning Disney into a place of exclusion for disabled guests?

On this week’s episode of Pushing Limits, Talia Thompson Mariano sits down with Natasha Caudill and Charisma Mangahas to explore the fallout from Disney’s controversial overhaul of its Disability Access Service (DAS).

Tune in for a revealing conversation that goes beyond the magic.
