UPDATE 8/20: Disney has apparently realized its legal strategy was in poor taste. It tells The Verge that it will take a "sensitive approach" in this case. That doesn't mean paying up, however. Instead, it will "waive our right to arbitration and have the matter proceed in court."
Original Story:
Disney is claiming a lawsuit against the company over the death of a woman at Disney Springs should be tossed out because the woman’s husband signed up for a one-month trial of Disney+.
Yep, you read that right.
As the NY Post reports, Kanokporn Tangsuan died from an allergic reaction after dining at a Disney Springs restaurant last October. Tangsuan had stressed to the waitstaff she had nut and dairy allergies, but shortly after departing the restaurant, she experienced difficulty breathing and collapsed. Despite being administered an epi-pen, she later died at a local hospital.
Her husband, Jeffrey Piccolo, is seeing $50,000 in damages under Florida’s wrongful death act as well as money for mental pain and suffering, loss of income, and funeral expenses.

Disney lawyers, however, argue that the lawsuit should be dismissed because the Disney+ terms Piccolo agreed to when signing up for the streaming service in 2019 said he'd arbitrate all disputes except small claims rather than filing a lawsuit. The company argues he agreed to similar terms when he used the "My Disney Experience" app to buy tickets to visit the Epcot theme park a month before the incident at Disney Springs.



I am not a Disney+ user, is this the level they have sunk to now?:laughing:

TLDR Version

"Disney lawyers argue..."
"Disney lawyers abandon argument"

With that out of the way, let's get back to hating Disney. What that company did to Star Wars was like that episode of sons of anarchy where the one gang burned the one dude's daughter in a pit and made him watch.

Will that hold up in court?
You pretty much need the Disney App to visit the park now with how rides, food service, and basically any reservation on property works.
I am going to assume this same language is buried in the user agreement, what happens if the Tower or Terror falls on my Grandma sitting in the water misters cooling off while we are there? No compensation?

100% would not.

The opposing counsel said it best-- the argument is so absurd it shocks the conscious. I've heard some pretty bad arguments in Court, but this is definitely one of the worst. The "click the box" license agreements are not very solid from the get-go, and this stretches that to a bizarro-world limit.
