Specific details about the crime remain limited as the investigation progresses. Law enforcement has not identified any suspects or revealed the type of property stolen from the Central Florida Disney park. The exact location within Disney’s Hollywood Studios where the theft took place is also unclear, as emergency dispatch systems for Walt Disney World Resort typically route calls to centralized addresses rather than pinpointing specific onsite locations.

Additional information may emerge in the days ahead through official police reports. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department routinely publishes documentation related to criminal incidents at Walt Disney World Resort, including Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

What Guests Need to Know

Disney Park guests should be aware that, despite the ongoing investigation, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and all other Walt Disney World Resort locations are operating as usual. The Central Florida vacation destination has not announced any closures, operational changes, or guest restrictions related to Wednesday’s law enforcement response.

Walt Disney World Resort maintains protocols designed to handle law enforcement situations with minimal disruption to the guest experience, addressing incidents discreetly whenever possible. Wednesday afternoon’s response appears to have followed these established procedures.

If you encounter law enforcement officers, security personnel, or temporary barricades anywhere on Disney property—whether related to this December 10 incident or any future law enforcement activity—always follow instructions from Orange County deputies and Disney cast members. Stay clear of any restricted zones to allow authorities to work safely and efficiently.
