Disneyland Resort security recently relied on police officers to remove a woman from Disney California Adventure Park, sparking a debate among Disney Parks fans. A video posted on social media shows the woman, who was visibly resisting, being carried out by officers while she screamed in front of her children.

It’s important to note that while Disneyland Resort has its own security team for handling minor incidents, the Anaheim Police Department is responsible for major issues and is stationed on Disney property for situations requiring law enforcement intervention. These officers also issue trespass notices when a guest is banned from the Disney parks, either temporarily or permanently.

On July 1, TikTok user @gadzooks2025 shared a video that showed police officers carrying the woman out of the park by her arms and legs. Security cast members surrounded the officers as they escorted the woman from Disney California Adventure Park.

The video quickly drew attention, sparking a debate about the use of force.

“Injurious way to carry someone; albeit an unruly suspect but it appears to be a deliberate intent to injure,” @xx26086 commented.

“That looks like it hurts,” @zoeycomp replied.

While some Disney Parks fans expressed concern about the level of force used, others pointed the finger at the woman for her actions, particularly in front of her children.

“I don’t know, but I think if she were to comply with the police, and walk under her own power, thing wouldn’t of gotten so wild!” @ronbibeau352 argued.

“I’ve gone to Disney and DCA for 15 years of my life on a regular basis,” said @mustangmike1750. “Mickey won’t arrest you unless you deserve it soooo.”

It remains unclear what exactly led to the police being called. Still, the woman has likely been banned from Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, and Downtown Disney due to the incident. It is also unknown whether the woman will face any other legal consequences.
