Police Drag Wailing Woman Out of Disneyland California in Front of Her Kids

Earlier this month, police were called to remove a woman from Disneyland Resort. A video shared on social media shows the screaming guest being dragged out of Disney California Adventure Park by law enforcement officers while her children watch from nearby.

Despite common misconceptions, Disneyland Resort does not have its own police force. While security cast members handle minor disputes and check guests as they enter the park, the Anaheim Police Department is responsible for more serious situations. Offices are stationed on Disney property to handle major incidents and enforce trespassing bans.

The incident in question occurred on July 1, when a TikTok user, @gadzooks2025, posted a video showing the police physically removing the woman from the park. The footage captured the woman visibly resisting as officers carried her by the arms and legs. Security cast members surrounded the officers, helping to escort the woman out of the Disney park.

The video sparked a heated debate among Disney Parks fans. Many social media users accused the police of using too much force on the Disneyland Resort guest.

“That looks excruciating,” @jazzlokks commented. “This looks like complete torture I don’t know what she did but to carry her like that ??”

“That would kill my arms/shoulders,” @curlygurl3333 echoed.

Other Disney Parks fans criticized the woman for her actions.

“‘In front of her kids’… Adding that part excuses her for her behavior or something? In fact, it makes it worse,” said @richferguson. “Whatever she did, she probably shouldn’t have done it in front of her kids. But yet we blame the cops!”

“If you refuse to walk, you get dragged, it’s that simple,” @cbdsocal replied.

The exact cause of the woman’s removal from Disney California Adventure Park remains unclear. However, she probably won’t be returning to any Disney parks or Downtown Disney anytime soon, as the police likely issued a trespass notice for her actions.

  1. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. If you do something to get arrested and then refuse to walk like a human to the car, you get carried like an animal. Should receive a lifetime ban from all Disney property.
