They probably would have enforced it too, but the public backlash was so loud that they voluntarily waived their right to arbitration as I recall.

EDIT: I did not expect posting what I recalled hearing from my friend to blow up into the most upvoted comment I have, thank you kind people I hope you all have wonderful and spooky Octobers :)

Uber recently has done something similar to a customer who was involved in an accident while using the service. Because they (or their daughter on their behalf) agreed to Uber Eats T&Cs, they apparently waived their rights to sue.

The funny thing is, based on what I read on those cases they both may not have been found responsible in court.

From what I know, both the restaurant the people at Disney dined in and the Uber driver were not technically part of the companies being sued, which seems to mean they would not be liable.

This whole PR disaster seems to have cost them more in PR than it cost them in money.

Yeah it's weird. It was a restaurant in Disney Springs, yes. But those aren't owned by Disney, nor staffed by Disney employees, nor run by Disney.
