A family trip to Disney is supposed to be a fun occasion for everyone.
But in this case, it became a nightmare in an instant for one family.
Because one really bad decision during her trip to Disney ended up with this mom getting arrested.
Mom arrested for trying to sneak kids into Disneyland
The price of a trip to Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, costs inflation-weary families an arm and a leg.
A child’s ticket to Disneyland alone can cost more than $250 for a one-day pass.
So, one mother came up with what she thought was a creative way to save on tickets to the theme park.
Jessenia Diaz, a 26-year-old mother, did buy a valid Disney Park pass for herself but then she tried to pass off her two kids as being under the age of three, so she wouldn’t have to buy tickets for them.
Disney policy is to let kids under the age of three get into their parks for free as long as they are accompanied by an adult with a valid pass.
It turned out the “happiest place on earth” was not so happy and Diaz was arrested for trying to sneak her kids into the park.
Diaz at first blew right past the ticket collectors without answering how old her kids were.
A video soon went viral on social media of Diaz being dragged out of the park by Anaheim police while her kids sobbed and screamed for help.

“She came in on a valid pass and brought her two kids,” Anaheim police Sergeant Matt Sutter told Fox News Digital. “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.”
Diaz then got belligerent with park officials and the police after she was confronted about her children’s age.
Sutter said that Disney tried to work something out with her to let her stay in the park.
“What Disney will do, they’ll work with you. They’ll try to come up with a solution,” Sutter explained. “They want their guests to stay in the park and enjoy their day. But she wasn’t having any of that.”
He pointed out that Diaz did not have to be escorted out of the park in handcuffs.
“If she had cooperated, had behaved better, she would have never gotten arrested,” Sutter said.
But it’s actually worse.
This was the fourth time in the last two months that Diaz tried to sneak her kids into the park.
“This was the first time she got caught,” Sutter stated. “She’ll disappear into the park with her kids and they can’t find her.”
After her arrest, Diaz received a ticket and was released later that day.
Mom threatens to sue Disney after arrest
The single mother disputed the account of her arrest that Disney and the Anaheim Police told.
She posted a video on the Chinese social media app TikTok where she gave her side of the story.
“I’ll post the truth I recorded the reason everything posted is full of lies,” Diaz ranted.
Diaz said she would soon give her side of the incident.
“The worst way to end the month, thankfully my daughters are safe. I would die if anything ever happened to them,” Diaz said in a video of her two kids riding a carousel at Disney.
And to no one’s surprise, she has stated she is going to file a lawsuit against Disney for the arrest.
That seems to be par for the course in today’s woke, victimhood society.
