That is so fucked up. The family should sue to have the terms stricken from the agreement and then sue for killing their person. Some jurisdictions don’t allow bullshit in the T&Cs like that.
But also Disney has a whole department of the most expensive lawyers in the world, so they’ll probably have to find a real heavy-hitter who does pro bono work.
Or a family member who doesn’t have D+ could sue…

Definitely more fucked than I remembered.

That’s what Disney lawyers argued. I don’t think it actually worked out for them, but I may be wrong.

Yeah it didn’t work, saw through the bullshit. They tried to settle through arbitration and keep it out of court.
The ultimate settlement at court assume to be pathetic though for killing someone. Think it wasn’t publicized, but the publicized settlement record claimed the husband was seeking 50k. But I guess it can settle for higher and that was just a formality amount?
Anyhow they probably threw chump change at him and a lifetime membership of Disney+ and discounts at the parks.

Any lawyer who would willing go into a court room and argue that is literal human garbage.

Well, shareholders, but close enough.
