After Disney Parks agreed to a shareholder’s proposal to review the Disability Access System (DAS) changes after a previous denial, a shareholder has urged investors to support the vote.
Shareholder Urges Support
The proposal, titled “Review and Report on Disability Inclusion and Accessibility,” appears on Disney’s 2026 proxy ballot as Proposal 7. It asks the Company to retain an independent third party to evaluate disability access policies from a legal, financial, reputational, and enterprise risk perspective, with summary findings reported to shareholders.
The proposal does not mandate operational changes or prescribe specific outcomes. It is framed as a governance and risk oversight measure intended to provide additional transparency to investors.
Key Points:
- Requests an independent third-party review of disability access policies
- Focuses on legal, financial, reputational, and enterprise risk oversight
- Does not require operational changes or reinstatement of prior systems
- Preserves board discretion and management authority
- Seeks summary disclosure to enhance shareholder transparency
The proposal comes amid sustained public scrutiny, media coverage, and legal challenges related to recent Disability Access Service (DAS) policy changes. The requested review would examine oversight structures, potential legal exposure, brand impact, and the effectiveness of current risk mitigation practices.
Independent third-party assessments are commonly used by companies when policy shifts intersect with reputational, regulatory, or operational risk considerations.
Shareholders will vote on the proposal at Disney’s March 18, 2026 Annual General Meeting. You can find the full overview of the proposal here.
