The entertainment giant says the terms of a free trial prevent it from being sued for wrongful death.
Disney World is arguing a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife because of terms he signed up to in a free trial of Disney+.
Disney adds that Mr Piccolo accepted these terms again when using his Disney account to buy tickets for the theme park in 2023.They say Disney's case "is based on the incredible argument that any person who signs up for a Disney+ account, even free trials that are not extended beyond the trial period, will have forever waived the right to a jury trial".
"The courts will have to consider, on balance, if the arbitration clause in a contract for a streaming service can really be applied to as serious an allegation of wrongful death through negligence at a theme park," he says.
