Disney Springs Security Under Scrutiny as Old Fountain ‘Surfer’ Clip Resurfaces and Dec. 7 Trespass Alert Emerges
Disney has added screening at the bus drop-off, signaling incremental steps suited to an open-access retail district.
Overview
- Public emergency logs confirmed a trespassing alert at Disney Springs on December 7 at about 8:42 p.m.
- A widely shared photo and video show a man in the decorative fountain between The Polite Pig and Ron Jon Surf Shop wearing a bathing suit and holding a surfboard, but the content is not recent.
- Disney security responded to the fountain incident, yet any law-enforcement involvement or consequences have not been publicly disclosed.
- A new security checkpoint at the bus drop-off now screens guests arriving by Disney transportation, closing a former entry gap.
- Heavy holiday crowds and the free-entry model are stretching security resources as social media posts and dispatch feeds increase visibility without supplying follow-up details.
