A mother was hauled out of Disney California Adventure Park alongside her hysterical children after she tried passing the kids off as toddlers so they could sneak into the park for free.
Footage posted to TikTok on Wednesday captured the unidentified mother surrounded by Disney security and being led out of the park in cuffs by Anaheim police officers.
Her two young girls are seen holding onto their mother on both sides, balling their eyes out and shouting,” help” in Spanish.
Another officer is seen pushing a side-by-side stroller behind them during the incident.
The video, which has racked up nearly 400,000 views since being posted, is captioned “Getting arrested at the happiest place on earth.”
Another video, obtained by TMZ, shows the mother shouting, “You’re f–king hurting me!” as she’s escorted out of “Happiest Place on Earth” next to her crying children.
She is accused of trying to pass the kids off as 2-year-olds so they could enter the park without purchasing a ticket, the Anaheim Police Department told TMZ.
A one-day pass to Disneyland and Adventure Park starts at $104.
For an additional $65, guests can opt for the “Park Hopper Pass,” allowing Disney goers to “explore both theme parks on the same day.”
However, children meeting that requirement must be with a guest with a ticket and reservation to enter the park.
According to Disneyland Resorts Park admissions policy, children under three do not need a theme park ticket for Disneyland or Adventure Park.
The Anaheim Police Department also told KTLA that the unidentified woman is suspected of trying to sneak her children into Disneyland in the past.
Police said she was arrested for trespassing but was later released on a citation.
A Disneyland spokesperson confirmed she had allegedly tried sneaking the kids into the theme park and was confronted by Disneyland Resort security teams, KTLA reported.
She reportedly was not complying with park security when questioned, prompting them to contact law enforcement.
The Post has contacted Disneyland Resort and the Anaheim Police Department for comment.
The company has had prior issues with guests trying to sneak children into the park by passing them off to be younger than they are.
In 2022, a woman was caught on a viral TikTok disguising an elementary school-age child as a baby to avoid paying the admission price at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
The video shows a group waiting in line to purchase tickets for the park with a baby-appropriate stroller carrying the older child inside, covered by a blanket to block her non-infant legs.
Once the group is inside the park and out of sight of Disney staff, the girl wearing a Cinderella dress hops out of the stroller and throws the blankets back onto the seat.
