What I don't get is why this has to be an either-or. The movie can have themes around disability, and be open to interpretation under that theme, and have a character who can be understood as disabled in one reading, without Ariel being an official representative of disability for all time.

Like with Mulan - I wouldn't necessarily call Mulan as a character transgender, but I would definitely say that gender is a major theme for Mulan as a film, and if someone talked about Mulan as a transgender Disney princess, I would understand what they meant by it. It's a little hard to say because we don't really know what the people OP is talking about actually said, but I just hate this way of focusing on things, where Ariel is either 100% Disabled Representation, or she isn't at all.
