Guest Arrested in Alleged Mickey Ears Theft at Disney's Beach Club

Overview

• Police say Katie Green was arrested for retail petit theft on November 2 at the Beach Club Marketplace and was trespassed from all Disney-owned properties along with her husband.
• A security manager reported seeing Green leave with Mickey ears placed in her scooter basket and then into a shopping bag outside the shop.
• Officers reviewed receipts that showed only a sweater purchase, while Green claimed a cashier scanned the wrong ears and the cashier’s account disputed that claim.
• The Mickey ear headbands were priced at $36.99 after a recent $2 increase, with Disney also announcing average single-day ticket prices will rise about $5 in October 2026 and annual passes by $20 to $80.
