A missing person call brought law enforcement to the Walt Disney World Resort area on Thursday morning, with the response centered near one of the property’s busiest shopping and dining destinations.
The Call That Came In Before Noon
At 11:34 a.m. on Thursday, May 14, a missing person report was logged from Flagler Avenue — a road in the vicinity of Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort. Scanner monitoring account @WDWActiveCrime captured the dispatch on X (formerly known as Twitter):

That call log is the extent of what’s publicly known. Walt Disney World Resort has not issued any statement regarding the incident, and local law enforcement hasn’t released additional details about the individual involved or the outcome of the response. Unless criminal activity is suspected or charges are ultimately filed, it’s unlikely that further information will be made available to the public.
Disney World Guests Shouldn’t Expect Any Disruption On Thursday
The law enforcement response has not produced any reported disruptions across Walt Disney World Resort. Disney Springs continues to operate normally, as do Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park. All four Walt Disney World theme parks — Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park — are running on their regular schedules.
Walt Disney World Resort handles emergency and law enforcement responses with discretion, working to minimize any impact on the broader guest experience while also protecting the privacy of the individuals involved. Guests who find themselves near any police or security activity on the Central Florida property should follow directions from officers and cast members, and steer clear of any cordoned-off areas.
