Given that the customer ticked an agree to terms box for the park tickets that likely will be enough for the company to keep the case out of court, why would they feel the need to go with the "stretch" to the streaming agreement terms too?

Could there be some difference in the terms, where the streaming terms have some advantage over the park ticket terms for the company, perhaps?


According to the article on CNN, which has also been submitted to HN, she died after eating at a restaurant in Disney Springs which is a shopping and dining area outside of the ticketed park areas. Anyone can go there to eat or shop without agreeing to any terms or conditions. They are likely throwing everything against the wall hoping something will stick.


Disney really should be broken up if they want to have agreements like this. There is no one who thinks its okay to waive your rights to sue because you took advantage of a free trial 5 years ago for a service that has nothing to do with what killed your wife.



Unless the death was caused by the horrible quality of content on Disney+. This case should be tossed and judge should sanction attorney’s.
