Walt Disney World Resort is often a place where guests come to escape reality and enjoy fun, family-friendly experiences.

The incident, which took place in the World Showcase, has captured attention across social media, especially as it was shared by a witness on TikTok. The shocking video has since sparked a wave of curiosity about the details of what led to the arrest.

It all started with a routine encounter between the guest and EPCOT security, but things escalated quickly. The video, filmed by Mazie Green and shared on TikTok, shows the moment a woman—allegedly a Disney World Annual Passholder—argued loudly with a police officer. As the altercation unfolded, the woman began using profane language, calling the officer names while getting unusually close to his face.

In the video, she was accompanied by children, including a young girl and a toddler in a stroller, adding a layer of complexity to the situation.

From the video, it appears that this wasn’t just a minor misunderstanding. As the situation grew more tense, Disney staff and security tried to intervene. However, the guest refused to de-escalate, ultimately leading to her arrest.

According to Mazie, the woman began getting “handsy” with the officers before being taken into custody. While the exact cause of the altercation remains unclear, this video provides a disturbing glimpse into the chaos that unfolded.

Update: I don’t have any other videos because I ran out of storage😭😭 but she ended up getting kicked out of the park then she started getting handsy with the cops and they arrested her and took her. Not sure what happened but she was not happy that she wasn’t getting her way since she WAS a passholder😭😭😭

Interestingly, this incident is not the first of its kind at Disney World. Over the years, Disney has taken a firm stance on guest behavior, particularly when it comes to confrontations with staff or law enforcement. In this case, the woman’s actions likely resulted in her Annual Pass being revoked, as Disney typically enforces strict policies for such disruptions. Depending on the severity, guests involved in similar incidents can face temporary or even permanent bans from the park.

While we don’t have full details about the woman’s background or what might have triggered the situation, it’s clear that Disney takes these matters seriously. The behavior displayed in the video directly contradicts the resort’s emphasis on maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for families and visitors.

There’s no official word yet on whether this woman was banned from the park, but given Disney’s history of taking action, it’s likely she won’t be allowed back anytime soon.

This incident brings attention to the importance of respecting Disney’s rules and the cast members who work hard to keep the park’s environment enjoyable for everyone. As guests, it’s crucial to remember that no one is above the law, and fighting or resisting Disney security and law enforcement can have serious consequences. The situation at EPCOT serves as a stark reminder that everyone, even those with Annual Passes, must adhere to the standards expected of park-goers.
