Most Walt Disney World guests have no idea how much of the resort’s business has nothing to do with vacations. Conventions are enormous at Walt Disney World. Companies book thousands of room nights at a time, fill ballrooms for keynote sessions, take over restaurants for private events, and buy out theme parks after hours.

Disney has spent the last few years absorbing criticism from disabled guests, and it has not found a way out of it yet. The DAS overhaul brought a wave of it.
