Disney States Man Cannot Sue Due to Streaming Trial

BBC Story

Cliffs:
-Man and his wife repeatedly tell Disney restaurant that she has severe allergies (in 2023)
-They ignore this and the woman dies
-Man tries to sue for wrongful death
-Disney states he cannot sue them because in 2019 he signed up for a 1 month free trial of Disney+ streaming. Hidden in the terms of use is an agreement that users settle any disputes with the company via arbitration

So if you ever tried Disney+ good luck ever suing Disney.
I am sure Walt is smiling down on us.
He is probably also proud of all the great upcoming movies, like Moana 2, Moana Live Action, Toy Story 11, and Big Crappy Sequel 6

Ridiculous but why would you eat out if you had that severe of an allergy? You're trusting your life to some coked out kitchen line cook? I dont like onions, i try my best to order things that don't have them to start with because when you ask for no onions its usually about a 50/50 roll of the dice as to whether they get it right. I would never bet my life on it.

No way this holds up in court. Also, he’s only asking for 50k. Disney likely settles these types of cases for more than that. Odd that they’re fighting this and risking negative publicity.

I thought it was just for $50K too based on headlines but read that's just some legal minimum number for filing with the State and he's going to be asking for a lot more than that.

I'm shocked after reading the news.

Disney should have just paid the 50k + lawyer fees quietly in instead of arbitration, resulting in this article coming out in the first place.

I'm both disgusted and shocked with if this is real.

The couple should have had carried epi pens and meth with them

Is there anything Disney does well at this point

I’m guessing there’s a little more to this story than stated……

Disney is well known for being very careful about allergies, so this is horrible publicity. Most menus have allergy friendly items. If it was one of those, I don't know how Disney or the restaurant are not liable.

I was rewatching Hereditary last week and when they're at the grandma's funeral at the beginning the girl is eating snacks and the mom is like 'does that have nuts in it? We don't have an epipen' and then like the next day they go to the party and she eats nuts and they don't have an epipen with them and she ends up dying.

How fucking hard is it for people with allergies or people with children with allergies to keep a fucking epipen on them?

Certainly most people would interpret those terms and services, and the agreement to arbitration, to apply specifically to disputes having to do with the streaming service. Disney is trying to abuse that and set a very dangerous precedent.
But, if this trial is set in, say Florida, Disney may very well win. And I’m not sure which appeals district they’re in, but if they’re in the 5th circuit, Disney will certainly win the appeal too.
