ANAHEIM, CA - Police took a California woman into custody at Disneyland Tuesday, on allegations that she had attempted to enter the park with her children in tow- without paying admission at least four prior times in the past sixty days. Jessenia Diaz, 26, was seen in a viral video posted online being handcuffed outside the California Adventure Park as her children cried and were led along by officers.
According to Fox News, the dramatic scene saw the woman- clad in novelty Minnie Mouse ears- screaming profanely at the officers. Anaheim police Sgt. Matt Sutter told the outlet, "She came in on a valid pass and brought her two kids. 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."
Video released by TMZ captured Diaz yelling “You’re f–king hurting me!” The New York Post reported that she was allegedly trying to pass off her three-year-old children as two years old to avoid purchasing tickets for them, citing the Anaheim PD. Disneyland policy allows children under age three to visit Disneyland or Disney California Adventure at no charge with a valid park ticket or reservation.
Local outlet KTLA noted that Diaz was suspected of attempting this before and was uncooperative with Park Security as well as Anaheim Police. She was arrested and subsequently cited for obstructing a peace officer and refusing to provide identification.
A spokesman for Disneyland confirmed the allegations to the Post that Diaz was attempting to sneak her children in on her single pass. A typical ticket for the park is $104 and a park hopper upgrade is another $65, making the total value of the potential ticket sale $338.
Diaz in a post to TikTok reported by the Daily Mail blasted Disneyland saying "What they say is pure lies." She wrote, "I'll post the truth," adding "I recorded the reason everything posted is full of lies." Responding to a commenter, she suggested legal action saying "For sure suing, "I have proof LOL. It's all he said, she said."
