It's worth noting that police calls at Walt Disney World Resort are frequently logged to centralized addresses rather than the precise location of an incident, so the map pin associated with the call may not reflect exactly where the report originated.
Neither Walt Disney World Resort nor the Orange County Sheriff's Office has released any information about the investigation. In cases where a missing person is located quickly, identifying details are rarely made public.
What Guests Should Know
Thursday's incident did not seem to produce any operational disruptions at Magic Kingdom Park or Disney's Contemporary Resort. The Monorail continued running its standard loop connecting Magic Kingdom Park, Disney's Contemporary Resort, the Transportation & Ticket Center, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Guests can also walk between Magic Kingdom Park and Disney's Contemporary Resort.
Anyone who encounters law enforcement while visiting Walt Disney World Resort should follow instructions from both officers and Disney cast members. The Central Florida vacation destination routinely works to ensure police activity does not affect the broader theme park guest experience.
