Overview
- The arrest occurred in the last week of December 2025 when Orange County Sheriff’s deputies took the guest into custody moments after he tried to enter Animal Kingdom.
- The individual had been issued a trespass warning in 2019, and the new charge is Trespass After Warning, a first-degree misdemeanor under Florida law.
- Disney’s security systems combine finger-scan–derived numerical signatures, passive facial scanning at entry points, and My Disney Experience data to identify flagged profiles in real time.
- Purchasing a new ticket or using different personal details does not bypass a ban because cross-referenced biometrics and linked data trigger immediate security alerts, sometimes before arrival at the gate.
- A Walt Disney World trespass applies resort-wide and remains in effect unless an expiration is specified, with formal appeals rarely granted and generally not considered until at least a year after the incident.
