A preliminary $9.5-million settlement has been reached in a class-action lawsuit over the Magic Key program at Disneyland. More than 100,000 people will receive payouts.
Walt Disney Co. has tentatively agreed to pay $9.5 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over the Magic Key pass program at Disneyland.by Dream Key pass holder Jenale Nielsen — alleged Disney had advertised that that particular pass, its most expensive offer, would not have any blackout dates.
Upon buying the $1,399 annual pass in September 2021, a month after Disney remodeled its annual pass program under the Magic Key moniker, Nielsen found she was not able to reserve a ticket for much of November, despite single- and multi-day tickets still being available for the time period. She soon discovered additional restrictions, according to the lawsuit.
An agreement to settle the suit was initially announced, without specifics, in July. The preliminary agreement unveiled Friday covers 103,435 Dream Key pass holders, all of whom will be automatically enrolled to receive a disbursement from the $9.5-million fund unless they request to be excluded.
