Woman Sues Disney After Alleged Slip Near Samawati Springs Pool at Animal Kingdom Lodge
A Florida woman has filed a lawsuit against Disney seeking $50,000 in damages after an alleged slip-and-fall incident near the Samawati Springs Pool at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village. The lawsuit, filed in December 2025 in Orange County Circuit Court, claims the incident happened on March 9, 2025, when the guest says she tripped and fell on a wet substance believed to be water near the edge of the pool area.

According to the filing, Broward County resident Luisa Hanfling alleges she sustained serious injuries after slipping without warning. The lawsuit argues that Disney failed to properly maintain the area in a reasonably safe condition and did not adequately warn guests of a potentially dangerous situation that it knew or should have known about.
The complaint lists a wide range of claimed damages, including permanent bodily injury, physical pain and mental suffering, disability and impairment, loss of enjoyment of life, aggravation of existing conditions, medical expenses, lost wages, and diminished earning capacity. The lawsuit states that these losses are permanent or ongoing and will continue into the future.
