The incident occurred around 1 p.m. on February 28 as guests were exiting the ferry. Authorities say the confrontation began with a verbal exchange, with conflicting accounts about what sparked the disagreement. The victim reported that the woman made a threatening remark, which she initially brushed off, before the situation escalated when the drink was thrown. The victim’s husband noted they had remained seated to safely allow crowds to clear due to her use of a wheelchair.

When interviewed by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the suspect claimed the victim had made comments about her son, which led to her reaction. She was arrested and charged with battery on a person 65 years or older. The victim has chosen to pursue charges, and the case is now moving through the court system.

This incident serves as a reminder that even in the Most Magical Place on Earth, patience can go a long way especially in crowded spaces where courtesy matters most.
