How can a streaming service agreement apply to a restaurant ~~in a park~~?

This is why those ToS are 71pages long. I don't think there are many good judges out there anymore, but I hope the one that reviews this case goes absolutely ape-shit on Disney. There is a legal tradition of harsh punishments for criminals in examplar cases to set detterents to future crimes. The same needs to be done to reel in these corporations.

FWIW, I don't think the judge is going to go for it. Disney's lawyers are the most bloodthirsty son of a bitch lawyers on Earth, but just because they make the argument doesn't mean the court will accept it.

Wasn't even in a park. The restaurant is in a separate mall. No ticket needed.

A mall owned and operated by Disney, with Disney branding everywhere, and store names heavily influenced by Disney properties, like "BB Wolf's Sausage Co.", and where "Guest Services" is managed by Disney, and the property rules are Disneyworld's property rules.
