Lawsuits and theme parks are no strangers to each other. Anyplace where thousands of people are filling a small space every day is going to have its share of issues, but most theme park lawsuits that Disney World or Disneyland deals with regularly are about people who get injured at the parks. More recently, however, Walt Disney World has been entrenched in a pair of lawsuits with its home state of Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis, and both American resorts have been fighting lawsuits against their own fans. However, now one of the suits is coming to an end.
Back in December 2021, Disneyland Resort was sued by a California resident for $5 million claiming breach of contract. The woman filling the suit had purchased a Disneyland Magic Key (an annual pass to the park) and was suing over the park’s reservation system. She claimed that despite the fact that her pass was sold as having no blockout dates, the fact that reservations to the park were limited meant that there were still days she could not use her pass. Less than a year later a similar lawsuit was filed against Walt Disney World over its annual pass and reservation systems.
