Woman Refuses ID, Arrested at Disneyland After Multiple Unpaid Entrances

A California woman was arrested at Disneyland after attempting to enter the park with her children without valid identification or paying for admission. According to police, the woman had previously tried to enter the park without paying four times in a two-month period.

A visit to the happiest place on Earth turned sour for a California woman who was arrested at Disneyland after failing to show valid identification and refusing to pay for admission for her two children.

Jessenia Diaz, 26, of Torrance, was arrested at the California Adventure theme park on Tuesday after park security and police confronted her about her children's ages. Video footage posted on social media shows Diaz being led away in handcuffs as her young children cry and plead for help.

Anaheim police Sgt. Matt Sutter told Fox News Digital that Diaz entered the park using a valid pass but did not pay for her children's admission. When security questioned her about the children's ages, she continued walking and ignored them.

Disneyland grants free admission to children under the age of 3 when accompanied by a paying adult. However, valid theme park admission and a reservation for the same park on the same date are required for guests age 3 and older.

Diaz had previously attempted to pass off her older children as under age 2 for free admission, park officials said. She had also entered the park four times in the past two months without paying the full admission.

"She came in on a valid pass and brought her two kids," Sutter said. "When security tried to question her about her kids' age, she just kept walking and didn't stop. They caught up with her later inside the park."

"She'll disappear into the park with her kids and they can't find her," he added.

During the arrest, Diaz allegedly screamed profanities at police officers and refused to provide her identification. She was eventually released with a citation.

"She was uncooperative to say the least," Sutter said. "What Disney will do, they'll work with you. They'll try to come up with a solution. They want their guests to stay in the park and enjoy their day. But she wasn't having any of that."

"If she had cooperated, had behaved better, she would have never gotten arrested," he added.

The incident has sparked concern among Disney fans and parents who are concerned about security at the parks. Some have questioned why Diaz was allowed to enter the park with her children without paying for their admission, while others have criticized her behavior.

"This is absolutely unacceptable," said one Disneyland fan on social media. "She should have been arrested sooner. She's a danger to herself and her children."

"I can't believe she would put her children through something like this," said another. "Disneyland is supposed to be a happy place."

Disneyland officials have not released a statement about the incident. However, they have said that they are working with police to ensure the safety of their guests.
