Guest Detained at Disney’s Magic Kingdom After Cocaine Discovery
Walt Disney World may be the Most Magical Place on Earth, but that doesn’t mean it’s immune to some real-world drama. A recent arrest at Magic Kingdom on March 29, 2025, has made headlines after a guest was caught trying to enter the park with cocaine in his possession—right in front of his child.

According to a criminal complaint filed by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to the Magic Kingdom bus loop security checkpoint just before 5:30 p.m., where off-duty officers had detained a man—later identified as 39-year-old Dustin Wallace. During a routine security screening, a Disney security officer noticed a bulge in Wallace’s wallet. Upon inspection, the officer spotted a bag of powdery white substance, prompting him to alert his supervisor.
Wallace admitted to deputies that the substance was cocaine and that he had been using it for about a month to cope with work stress. He claimed he had placed the drugs in his wallet before attempting to enter the park. A field test confirmed the presence of cocaine, and Wallace was placed under arrest without incident. He was also issued a trespass warning, effectively banning him from all Disney properties.

Wallace was later released on a $2,500 bond, posted through United States Fire Insurance Company, and has retained legal counsel. His attorney, Muna Abraham of Longwell Lawyers, has entered a not guilty plea on his behalf and plans to file a motion to dismiss.
While Disney may be a land of fairy tales, this sobering story serves as a reminder: bringing illegal substances into the parks will turn your dream vacation into a legal nightmare faster than you can say “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo.”
