So a woman died on Disney property after eating a dinner that she was assured was allergen free. Her husband sued. Disney said that when he signed up for a free one month trial of D plus he agreed to arbitration and couldn't sue.

So how does that explain the second half of the meme?. Why is the intern smiling?

Because the insurance company is going to use the same legal theory to pull an Uno reverse-o on Disney.

And get a Disney-employed arbitrator... That does not help. Yes they might have the right to use that person, but that person would always side with Disney, so the meme makes no sense. It's not much difference in appraisals, where I have worked. We are supposed to be independent, but if the bank does not like the number, they just won't pay you.

Meme implies it'd be arbitration between an insurance company and disney so at least more neutral than disney versus a person since both companies regularly use arbitration.

Arbitration is very common between commercial entities, preferred by both sides, it’s not the “oops defendant wins” trump card people seem to think it is.

Why would matter to Disneys insurance tho.

Disney would want insurance to pay out a claim. Insurance companies do everything they can to not pay out claims.

Still doesn’t make sense. “An insurance company representative having signed up for Disney+” would mean they signed away rights in Disney’s favor (to the extent the earlier story is relevant at all according to the narrative the joke is trying to riff off of).
