In my many years as an Independant Contractor with Disney... I have seen a
company that has always been "disability friendly".  All the adaptations you
mention were very much commonplace before the American's with Disabilities 
ct
was ever passed.
As a disabled person, as a retired business consultant, and as a retired
Executive Director of an disabled rights organization... I know what it is
like to have to deal with inaccessability of any kind.  I am just glad that
Disney heard about me so many years ago (actually about 11 or so years ago),
and asked me to work with them.
Take care,
John
