Where's the actual reporting here—did they talk to cast members or other guests about what the experience is actually like, or is this just Instagram influencers talking about themselves?

Good question - article doesn't say they bothered asking anyone else, just lets these people talk about themselves for clicks.

Did they actually interview Disney about whether these visitors get treated differently, or is this just feel-good content without the harder questions?

The piece reads like it's more interested in the aesthetic of visibility than in asking whether Disney's infrastructure or staff training actually accommodates these visitors differently—which seems like the obvious reporting angle here.

"plus-size and kind of famous" is doing some heavy lifting in that headline lol

NYT just profiling people living their lives now? Why not actually dig into whether parks are accommodating for different body types instead of just... interviewing influencers about being recognized?

Fair point, that would've been more useful than just the celebrity angle.
