According to Authorities

According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, one family was posing for a photo when another family requested them to vacate the area for their photo opportunity. This seemingly innocuous inquiry escalated into an act of violence, with a member of the first party throwing a punch.

Disney’s Reaction

Currently, Disney has not issued any official statements regarding this appalling incident. Nevertheless, at least some group members responsible for instigating the altercation likely will receive trespass notices from Disney. Such notices would signify their prohibition from visiting Disney theme parks.

Given the severity of the incident, it is probable that these bans would be permanent.
