I don't think that's enough to dismiss the suit.
Two reasons. First, the video shows anecdotal cheating in a handful of circumstances, with the unproved allegation that such cheating is widespread.
Second, they raise the issue of "cheating" to question Disney's credibility. But what happens with wheelchair users or others with disabilities is really not relevant to whether these sixteen plaintiffs with cognitive disabilities have been discriminated against.
I found some links about the previous case this lawyer filed:

He obviously knows how to bring a case against Disney. Whether this one succeeds should be interesting to see.
In the case of the lawsuit for the visually impaired - they may have got a settlement, but they've scorched the earth for the future (so much so that the NFB vehemently objected).
They have 16 names on the lawsuit, but how seriously they will be taken is debatable when some of the 16 freely admit to never having used the DAS or visiting Disneyland/WDW since it was implemented.
Wonder how pleased the 16 families will be when they are told they cannot set foot in Disney property while the lawsuit is in progress (I really hope this happens). Judging by the FB page, they moan about the DAS but it doesn't stop the most vociferous going almost weekly.
