CNN —The Walt Disney Company agreed to pay $9.5 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that accused the entertainment giant of “deceptive business practices” in regard to its Disneyland annual pass program, according to a court filing Thursday.
The suit alleges that “thousands of people” with Magic Key passes may have been affected and were eligible to participate in the class action suit.
A statement attributed to Disneyland officials said they “are satisfied that this matter has been resolved.”The attorneys representing affected Magic Key pass-holders did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
Disney’s Magic Key pass program was introduced two years ago, replacing the theme parks’ legacy Annual Pass Program.
Disneyland offers four Magic Key passes at different price points.
