While “Deadpool & Wolverine” continues to break box office records, Story Time with Deadpool at Disney California Adventure continues to prove popular among guests. During a recent performance of the show, Deadpool made a joke about the Disney+ terms and conditions, referencing a recent wrongful death lawsuit filed against the company.
Deadpool References Disney+ Arbitration Clause
Shared via a TikTok from user gothgirl_doesdisney, Deadpool makes the reference during a retelling of “Cinderpool.” As Wolverine stands alongside him, Deadpool says:
[…] and headed to the big battle. Cinderpool was late, becaues he had to read every single page in the terms and conditions when he signed up for Disney+.
A burst of nervous laughter and noises of shock followed from the crowd, seemingly surprised that the character would once again take it that far at a Disney-owned theme park.
Wolverine followed up with “I don’t get it,” and Deadpool simply responded, “They do.”
You can watch the full video of the joke in the TikTok below:
This joke references the recent discourse surrounding a wrongful death lawsuit filed after a woman passed away from anaphylaxis resulting from a meal at Raglan Road Irish Pub in Disney Springs. Disney had previously asked a Florida court to move the case to arbitration, citing a waiver included in the terms and conditions for Disney+. Disney claims that the plaintiff, the husband of the woman who died, agreed to “arbitrate all disputes with the company” when he signed up for a one-month Disney+ free trial in 2019, as well as when he used the My Disney Experience app to purchase tickets to visit EPCOT.
Disney later issued a statement in response to their motion for arbitration, saying that the company was “merely defending [themselves] against the plaintiff’s attorney’s attempt to include us in their lawsuit against the restaurant.”
Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro released a statement of his own a few days later, following reactions to the motion, confirming that Disney would “waive [its] right to arbitration and have the matter proceed in court.”
