NEW DELHI: Disney California Adventure Park threw a woman and her children out after she tried to sneak her children free.
A footage posted on TikTok shows a woman was arrested at Disney park and threw out by the security guards while her helpless children called out for “Help” in Spanish.
According to the Anaheim police department, the woman is suspected of trying to pass off her children as 2-year-olds to avoid purchasing tickets, which start at $104 for a one-day pass.

Disneyland Resorts Park admissions policy states that children under 3 do not require a theme park ticket for Disneyland or Adventure Park, but they must be accompanied by a guest with a valid ticket and reservation.
The police also revealed that the mother is believed to have attempted similar tactics to sneak her children into Disneyland in the past. She was arrested for trespassing but later released on a citation. A Disneyland spokesperson confirmed the incident, stating that the woman was confronted by Disneyland Resort security teams for her actions and was uncooperative, leading to the involvement of law enforcement, New York Post reported.
This incident is not an isolated case, as the company has previously encountered issues with guests attempting to disguise older children as younger ones to avoid paying admission prices. In 2022, a similar incident occurred at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, where a woman was caught on video trying to pass off an elementary school-aged child as a baby.
