Walt Disney Parks and Resorts agreed to a $9.5 million Dream Key class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it didn’t make certain park reservations available despite its promises.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased a Dream Key from Walt Disney Parks and Resorts between Aug. 25, 2021, and Oct. 25, 2021.

Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit say they could not make unrestricted park reservations despite Disney promising them they could make reservations with “no blockout dates.” These unfair policies allegedly violated California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act.

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, which operates popular theme parks such as Disneyland and Disneyworld, offered the “Dream Key” as their highest-tier Magic Key. The Magic Key passes provide reservation-based admissions to the theme parks.

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts hasn’t admitted wrongdoing but agreed to pay $9.5 million to resolve the false advertising class action lawsuit.

Under the settlement terms, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund. 

Currently, each claimant is estimated to receive around $67.41, but exact payments may be higher or lower depending on the number of participating class members and the amount deducted for fees and costs.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Jan. 15, 2024.

The final approval hearing for the settlement will take place Feb. 20, 2024.

No claim form is required to benefit from the settlement. However, class members who wish to receive an electronic payment through Venmo, PayPal or Zelle must submit an election form by Jan. 15, 2024.
