外刊精选|迪士尼被告上法庭:禁带外食是霸王条款吗?
上海迪士尼乐园一直是游客心中的梦幻天堂。然而最近,它却因为禁带食物入园的禁令和搜包安检的规定,被一名中国大三学生告上了法庭。这场纠纷究竟是怎么一回事?迪士尼这一规定引发了哪些争议?
Shanghai Disney sued over Outside Food Ban
The Shanghai Disney Resort landed in a pickle earlier this year after Wang, a Chinese law school student, took the company to court over its food policy.
Wang was stopped at the gates of the resort in January this year after the security guard found food inside her backpack.
The Walt Disney Company, however, stuck to its guns, claiming that the outside food ban is the standard in theme parks across China. In what appears to be a small mercy, Disneyland said the guests are welcome to eat their own food in the rest area outside the park.
Chinese media have accused Disney of double standards, saying that while Shanghai Disney has banned outside food, alcohol and nonalcoholic beverages over 600 milliliters inside the park since November 2017, the company doesn’t follow the same policy in its US or European parks.
Meanwhile, the incident has kicked up a social media storm in China. Disney’s decision to deny guests the right to bring their own food, coupled with the mark-up prices of refreshments inside the park, has apparently not gone down well with the netizens.
The female student approached the People's Court of Pudong New Area to rescind the food ban. The court’s verdict is pending.
