What were the original terms? If they didn't allow for this, sue in small claims court. Disney would really hate to have to show up and lose.


It's the retailer you'd have to sue, as they sold you the dodgy product. Even if you won, they're unlikely to take Disney to court.


At least in California, you can go after the manufacturer or the retailer:

Unless disclaimed in the manner prescribed by this chapter, every sale of consumer goods that are sold at retail in this state shall be accompanied by the manufacturer’s and the retail seller’s implied warranty that the goods are merchantable. The retail seller shall have a right of indemnity against the manufacturer in the amount of any liability under this section.

No implied warranty of merchantability and, where applicable, no implied warranty of fitness shall be waived, except in the case of a sale of consumer goods on an “as is” or “with all faults” basis where the provisions of this chapter affecting “as is” or “with all faults” sales are strictly complied with.

Any waiver by the buyer of consumer goods of the provisions of this chapter, except as expressly provided in this chapter, shall be deemed contrary to public policy and shall be unenforceable and void.

In my jurisdiction the manufacturer is responsible. The seller's liability is only 30 days.
