Pay Up! Mother Arrested at Disneyland After Not Paying for Tickets

“To all who come to this happy place: Welcome. Disneyland is your land—unless you don’t pay, in which case we will hunt you down and take you out.” -Walt Disney, probably.

Okay, Walt Disney didn’t say that. But he probably would have if he had seen what just happened at Disneyland.

Fox News reports:

A California woman who was arrested during a visit to Disneyland previously attempted to enter the park with her children without paying for admission at least four times in a two-month period, police said.

Video footage posted circulating on social media shows Jessenia Diaz, 26, being led away from the California Adventure theme park in handcuffs Tuesday as her two young children were seen crying and pleading for help from bystanders.

Two other officers were seen following behind, one pushing a stroller.

Diaz, who was wearing Minnie Mouse ears, allegedly screamed profanities at Anaheim police officers when she refused to provide her identification, authorities said.

“She came in on a valid pass and brought her two kids,” Anaheim police Sgt. Matt Sutter told Fox News Digital. “When security tried to question her about her kids’ age, she just kept walking and didn’t stop. They caught up with her later inside the park.”

Mickey would not approve.

The article continues:

She was “uncooperative to say the least,” said Sutter.

“What Disney will do, they’ll work with you. They’ll try to come up with a solution,” he added. “They want their guests to stay in the park and enjoy their day. But she wasn’t having any of that.”

“If she had cooperated, had behaved better, she would have never gotten arrested,” he added.

During the arrest, Diaz appeared to shout, “You’re f***ing hurting me” as onlookers near the Jumpin’ Jellyfish ride in Paradise Gardens watched the scene unfold.

I really hope she left her Mickey Mouse ears on for the mugshot.

But in all seriousness, what an entitled idiot. She was stealing—plain and simple. And when you steal with your children present, there is always a chance you will be caught and arrested. I feel awful her children had to see that, but I am glad the park finally put their foot down.
