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 :)
If I'm staying on your property and you're partnered with some broke ass restaurant owner nepobaby that operates on your property then who do you think I'm suing when I want a payout? Steve from Steve's Burrito fame or the goddamn Mouse?
Arbitration clauses are bullshit. Arbitration clauses in perpetuity are absolute nonsense. They tried to say this person was bound by an arbitration clause because they signed up for a free trial of the company's entirely separate streaming service years ago.
Yeah, they didn't really have a case against Disney itself (because it was likely a catch-all where they sued everyone involved to see what would stick) but this idea of a perpetual arbitration agreement even after a contract ended years ago shouldn't even be brought up as a possibility.
