    I think a lot of people were expecting this. I don’t know what their lawyers were thinking, $50k absolutely is absolutely nothing to Disney.

    Whereas, I’ve seen this story everywhere and no one is defending Disney. This makes them look horrible. You clicked “I accept”, so now you can’t sue them for an in-person issue at one of their parks? What are you talking about?? I realize they might want to set a precedent, but I don’t think any judge would ignore public sentiment about this and side with Disney. So now they look awful for absolutely no gain…

      Beyond making them look horrible, they were marching towards a court ruling against the forced arbitration clause.

      Once there is a precedent for the clause being unenforceable, the clause ceases to be a deterrent to legal action - every claim would be litigated at the very least to settle the question of whether arbitration is required in a specific case.
