A woman from the Midwest has filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney World after she was allegedly struck by a bird at the Polynesian Village Resort.
Lisa Dixon, who was temporarily living at her family’s property in Celebration, Fla., claims she suffered a traumatic brain injury, as well as herniated discs, as a result of being “dive-bombed” by the bird on a dock near the resort in May 2017, according to her lawyer.

She’s seeking damages in excess of $15,000, the Sentinel reports.
