It doesn't appear that Disney lost any money over this interaction, that is the child and Mother still traveled and presumably went to Disney. I also highly doubt that any significant number of children/Mothers who were planning to spend money at Disney will change their plans because of this incident. And potentially this interaction could be spun ... [SPIN]
What would you do for a Disney vacation?* Come experience Disney for yourself! [/SPIN] Not that I think Disney would choose to do so.
The flights that I have been on don't appear to be lacking passengers. And from some reports I read that airlines are more profitable now than they have been in the no so distant past.
So, what exactly is their incentive to stand up for anything other than being profitable?

Disney is using TSA/DHS for their own corporate benefit. Unless there is a groundswell of cancellations due to TSA, Disney is going to continue to toe the agency line.
