Disney has asked a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed earlier this year regarding a woman who passed away due to anaphylaxis after a meal at Disney Springs, citing an arbitration waiver in the terms and conditions for Disney+.
Disney Springs Wrongful Death Lawsuit Update
Disney is claiming the one line in the terms and conditions of a free trial of Disney+ years ago means the consumer must abide by those terms in perpetuity for anything Disney related. Even things completely unrelated to Disney+.
My point is the agreement was for an entirely unrelated product. A restaurant is in no way associated with the Disney+ streaming service. No one would expect the terms and conditions from a streaming service to apply to a sit down restaurant.
I’d even say that while they’re both under the Disney brand, they almost certainly are separate companies, further differentiating their products.
I’d be really curious to hear if the court accepts Disney’s argument. (F*** them if they do)

None of that should even matter.
