Disneyland might be the dreamiest and happiest place for families and children to spend some time together. But who knows it will eventually turn into the biggest nightmare for a woman and her daughters?
The woman was arrested in front of her two daughters at the Disneyland Resort for allegedly sneaking them into the California theme park.
The unidentified woman reportedly brought her children into the Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim on Wednesday, September 25th, 2024, without paying tickets as required for children over 3 years old.
As per the Disneyland Officials, the woman had tried to bring the children in without valid tickets by lying about their actual age. Meanwhile, the Anaheim Police took the woman into custody as she failed to present her ID to a peace officer when asked by staff.
Take a look at the Viral Video
The Video of the incident went viral on the internet, showing officers escorting the woman out of the park with her two daughters shouting for help in Spanish as their mother was arrested.
The video received several responses from people on social media. According to a user on X (formerly Twitter), this is not the first time that the woman has done this. “I’ve learned a bit more about the arrest at the Disneyland yesterday.
- This is not the first time she has done this. She has been accused of attempting to enter the park without tickets at least four times in the past couple of months.
- They didn’t let her in, she pushed her way through the entrance when questioned about the age of their children.
How users reacted to the incident
A user commented on the post, noting, “People need to check out the regional theme parks like Busch Gardens, much more affordable and don’t have to lie to try to have a good time.”
“They arrested her inside the park? I wonder why it wasn’t addressed at the gate? The policy is kids under the age of 3 do not require a ticket. With that being said, these children appear questionable, and parents should have appeared to offer proof,” said another user.
The other users were also seen taking interest in the incident, mentioning, “I don’t think you can arrest for that, people do it a lot. I’m sure there is more to it than how she acted when caught.”
While other users seemed petty over the children adding, “Those poor girls! This must be so traumatic for them.”
Disneyland Ticketing Rules
According to Disneyland ticketing rules, children under three years old are allowed to enter the theme park for free when accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket and park reservation.
Tickets for adults start from US $104, with admission for children aged three to nine from US $98.
