The arbitration clause was for that specific item you were signing up for. Example, Disney +, if you had an issue with Disney +, you could bring an arbitration case against Disney, likewise with using the Disney app for purchasing tickets. If there was an issue with the tickets or anything relating to that app, you would file an arbitration matter in that issue. Not waiving your entire life if an event of death like they were saying. This is just incredible that they would attempt this. Do these woke companies think the normal person are dumb.
I think Disney is responsible because Disney springs is owned by them but not the restaurant . They have to pay out because of that and that is my opinion.
How do we know within that 45 minutes from leaving the restaurant to the time this woman collapsed that she didn’t consume any other food and the family is keeping quiet about it. Sorry for their loss but there are a lot of scam arrests out there.
I thought I had read an article on here a while ago that said she had walked around and gotten a dessert or drinks in that 45 minutes but I don’t see that mentioned now. I feel bad for her family but something about the story seems off to me.
Disney is not responsible for any potential negligence of a restaurant not owned or under their control. That being said, D’Amaro is as inept as Chapek was, and is ruining things at the parks, and the handling of this situation is another example of his incompetency!
Disney should not be held responsible for something that happened at a restaurant owned by a third party. Disney has no control over the food prepared by this restaurant. That said, however, Disney’s claim that the matter should be handled by arbitration because the guest signed up for a free trial of Disney+ is total BS.
45 minutes a long time for anaphylaxis to set in. I say this from medical background and experience. Sounds a little strange to say it was definitely Raglan Road. Always carry epipen, which the women did, but if you are not sure of what you are eating or how it is prepared, don’t.
The restaurant is not disney owned or operated. Disney did not train the staff in food preparation. The restaurant and its parent company are responsible not Disney. For that reason alone, Disney should fight the case.
The arbitration argument from Disney plus or fine print are stupid and not valid
If she was served food she was allergic to after discussing it with staff, then they have a right to seek legal action. Otherwise any surface that she touched could have had the allergen on it, which could have caused the reaction. Glad she carried an epipen and used it for reaction.
Disney does not own the restaurant so it should not be held responsible. I agree the defense raised was insane but it should be dismissed. I have allergies and every restaurant I ate at when visiting Disney World recently the chef even came out to talk to me about my my concerns.
Actually, Debi, as a person who suffers from severe allergies (contact, consumption and airborne), I know every person is different from comparing notes from other sufferers. Depending on the form of exposure, for me, it can be immediate or up to 3-4 hours to experience symptoms.
The biggest risk I have noted is that there is a lie accepted that if there is no protein then there is no allergic reaction. This may hold true for some, but my worst reactions to accidental exposures have been from ethanol fuel fumes, hand sanitizer, perfumes and cleaners (no proteins of my allergen – corn/corn derivatives present)!
Anyone with severe allergies should carry 2 epi-pens. And even then, should seek medical attention as soon as possible!
What a horrific experience and my prayers go out to her family.
I think it is disgusting that Disney, who is worth billions, would put this poor husband through all of this. I think he has a case since Disney loves to boast about food allergies being avoided because all chefs will cook according to your needs. This restaurant wasnt owned by Disney, but it was inside the park and apparently, Disney trained the staff/chef. This payout is a drop in the bucket and there is a lesson to be learned here.
Comments for Disney World To Be Held Responsible for Death at Restaurant

Personally, I think the restaurant is responsible, not Disney. My issue with Disney was that whole arbitration BS.

Unfortunately most normal people are dumb.

Theyre very much responsible, and they should pay!

Dana
Since you’re probably not a lawyer and do not know the law, your opinion is incorrect!
Dixie
an opinion cannot be correct or incorrect
watson john
So who would get the blame if the restaurant was McDonald’s?

but that’s the thing; patrons are told that any food allergies will be considered while chef is prepairing the food.

The place was third party owned and 45 minutes for an allergic reaction that serious is a long stretch. Something may have been consumed in between.

Hold up, wait a minute.
Aren’t you guys at ITM supposed to defend Disney no matter what is reality? It’s what you normally do.

No doubt. They should be held responsible.
