Lawsuit letter...

[disneychick05]

I'm not sure where to post this question so may be someone could help me...

A letter came in the mail today stating that there is a pending lawsuit against the Disney Travel Co. for automatically adding vacation protection services to packages purchased on the internet during a certain time frame. Did anyone else get this letter? Is it for real?? There is a page to fill out to be considered for settlement benefits which includes 30% off at Disney hotels. Just wondering if it is a scam... Thanks.

go look on the Disney resort boards - there is a post.

So no I think it is real.

Sounds like a class action suit. I know they used to automatically add insurance.

I got one in the mail yesterday and filled it out and mailed it back today....I'll take whatever discounts I can get!

Edited to include my post from above thread:

I got two of the class action suit settlement notifications yesterday ... and I intend to send an objection to the settlement (address in notification) ... it's a frivolous suit ... Mr. Huber should have paid attention to what he was agreeing too ... IMO Disney's website is not deceptive or hard to navigate.

The benefits to the class action participants are insignificant (the 30% benefit is a limited to the first 100,000 claimants) ... the real winners are Mr. Huber and his attorneys.

The attorney's were awarded $300,000 by the court and they in turn are allowed to pay Mr. Huber $10,000 for his "services." He's an idiot and buys $200 worth of vacation insurance, but is going to collect $10,000 for "services" ... sheesh!

And people wonder why Disney keeps upping their prices!

I got the letter too... I tossed it. I'm not going to rip off WDC because of something I bought... I knew I was buying it.
