First, RIP, but growing up in the second half of the 20th century, I never knew or heard of extreme food allergies and menus saying they are gluten free etc.

Also Disney saying they are immune because of a subscription to a Disney streaming service is equally ridiculous.

To some extent that’s probably because people just died of their allergies when they were young and it was probably rarely known just why. But there has probably also been an increase in allergies. I’m no expert, but I have read stuff suggesting that living in a more artificial environment (homes in cities) without exposure to natural allergens is making people more sensitive. My kids grew up in a country home “eating dirt” and have never had problems, FWIW.

Wow, now I've heard everything. Disney argued that a one-month Disney+ subscription YEARS EARLIER was a waiver against suing the company for a food problem at one of their Disney World Resort restaurants. Talk about an absurd stretch! The lawyer should win an award for creativity and imagination.

Neither had I, but it is a thing. My brother in law as an infant in the '80s was in the HOSPITAL (in Canada) when the hospital was told NO DAIRY, which they mistook to mean no lactose. They gave him butter, which was worse, and they almost lost him IN THE HOSPITAL. It is a real thing.

They had chosen the location because it was advertised by both the restaurant and Disney as being particularly accommodating with food allergies.

I don't know, but all my friends with food allergies or a problem with bee stings carry Eppi Pins.

This was avoidable.

Disney does not want to face the chance that part of their entire arbitrator conspiracy will be struck down by the courts.

Honestly for the most part the Arbitrator process is a scam that should be highly illegal. The Arbitrators work for the companies that hire them and they are not going to bite the hand that feeds them. The customers face huge injustice at the hands of those frauds who eat lunch with reps from the company that hired them.

Banks are now getting in on it. Proclaiming that any dispute with them cannot go to court, but must go to their personally owned arbitrator. Can you imagine the bank telling you that thousands of dollars in your savings account is just gone and that you the customer is responsible. Their Arbitrator will agree and you won’t be able to take them to court over it. It is all total fraud.
If you want to opt out then you have to send them a letter(No Email), and you get no confirmation if they received that letter or not. Of course they will say they did not if you ever had to sue them. You can’t just go in the bank and say “I opt out”.
Once again a total scam!

And it is my understanding that congress is somehow responsible for passing legislation years back that supports this travesty. I highly question that the forced process is constitutional.

I have always marveled at the stupidity of people with extreme food allergies who nonetheless eat out at restaurants with minimum wage employees preparing their food. And a DOCTOR no less! SMH.
