Woman Arrested at Disneyland for Attempting to Enter Park without Paying

A woman was arrested at Disneyland Resort this week after reportedly attempting to sneak into the park without paying for her children’s admission. The incident, which took place in front of shocked onlookers near the Jumpin’ Jellyfish ride in Disney’s California Adventure, was captured on video and quickly spread across social media, showing the woman in handcuffs as her children cried nearby.

The woman, later identified as Jessenia Diaz, 26, had allegedly performed the same stunt multiple times over the past two months. Diaz entered the park on a valid annual pass but was approached by security who attempted questioned the ages of her children, who appeared to be older than Disneyland’s free admission policy for kids under 3. Instead of cooperating, Diaz ignored security and continued into the park, ultimately leading Anaheim police to intervene.

According to reports, Diaz had successfully snuck into Disneyland at least four times without paying the required admission for her children. This time, however, she was caught and became uncooperative, shouting profanities at officers as they arrested her. According to reporting by Fox News Digital, Anaheim police Sgt. Matt Sutter has stated when guests are caught trying to enter the park without paying for their kids typically ‘Disney will …. work with you. They’ll try to come up with a solution,” he added. “They want their guests to stay in the park and enjoy their day. But she wasn’t having any of that.” According to Sutter, had Diaz cooperated, she never would have been arrested.
