Police Rush to Magic Kingdom on Monday Morning Following Report of Child in Danger
Authorities mobilized early Monday in response to concerning reports from the Magic Kingdom Resort area. Law enforcement received an emergency call about alleged child neglect near Walt Disney World Resort’s most iconic theme park just before 6:30 a.m. on December 29.
Dawn Emergency Call at Magic Kingdom
Scanner activity captured law enforcement’s rapid response to the vicinity of Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Contemporary Resort, minutes before 6:30 a.m. on December 29. X (formerly Twitter) account @WDWActiveCrime, which tracks emergency communications at Walt Disney World Resort, shared the alert:

The emergency dispatch system at Walt Disney World Resort directs calls to generalized coordinates, preventing precise location determination from scanner reports. The child neglect call could have originated from anywhere within the Magic Kingdom Park boundaries or the adjacent Disney’s Contemporary Resort property.
Given that Magic Kingdom Park had not yet opened for the day when officers responded, Disney’s Contemporary Resort appears more likely as the incident site, though this remains unconfirmed.
Limited Public Information
Walt Disney World Resort representatives have not addressed Monday’s child neglect incident through official channels. While local authorities sometimes publish reports about criminal or suspicious situations at the Central Florida Disney parks, no documentation has been released regarding this case.
Troubling Recent Pattern
Monday’s response represents the second child neglect call at Walt Disney World Resort in recent weeks. On December 18, authorities responded to Disney’s Hollywood Studios around 2:00 a.m. for a similar report.
The earlier incident’s timing—hours after park closure at a theme park without attached Disney Resort hotels—led to speculation about possible child abandonment. However, no information about the December 18 incident at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been shared by Walt Disney World Resort or law enforcement agencies.
