Watch - three people explain why they were sent to Disney Jail

Do you generally suffer from an inability to see things from the perspective of others or only when related to amusement parks? :wink:

When I see adults inside a Disney park, they seem to be smiling a lot. That’s enough for me to surmise that they probably like going to Disney because it is an enjoyable experience for them.

Tbh, anyone with that under-the-chin beard needs to go to jail NOW!

The first one - I feel sooooo bad for. How embarrassing, especially for her friend.

Second dude… kinda falls under “play stupid games…” Just don’t get too drunk or high at Disney. The one year ban seems a little harsh.

Third dude - eh… not really the time or place, buddy. But I get the sentiment.

I wonder what the jails are like in Christian theme parks?

We’ve never understood why they wouldn’t.

The Disney parks aren’t my parks of choice, but they offer rides, immaculate theming, live entertainment, and basically mainline nostalgia. None of those things are child restricted.

Have you been to a Disney theme park?

Why wouldn’t you want to go to one as an adult? Lots of fun rides, lots of food, shopping, alcohol, just a big ball of hype energy and fun.

I’m just wondering why people keep insisting on bringing their kids in with them. Ruins the whole experience. Seriously, leave the carpet crawlers at home, they’ll enjoy it a lot more when they are teenagers or so…

I’ll take “Stories that Never Happened” for $100 (at least the tube top one). They’ve got people monitoring all those pictures (since the ride camera began).

It wouldn’t have happened, and there wouldn’t have been a picture for those girls to block. Totally fabricated story.

No jails, just stoning, and not the fun kind.

Disagree. For example, there’s a whole lot to be said for the experience of doing meet-and-greets with Disney characters while children are still young enough to believe they are actually meeting said characters.

I’d much rather go to a Cedar Fair park than a Disney one any day. Lots of good coasters.

Disney parks…sort of suck.

The joint-smoker was banned for a year, the puppet-yeller-atter was given a warning, and the accidental flasher and her friend received candy.

I wonder if the “joint-smoker” asked for candy.

Disney, specifically, is a very thoroughly conceived and executed variation on theme parks, there are so many tiny details in everything they do that you can enjoy the parks from many different viewpoints.

I’m not saying they’re anywhere close to perfect.


Yeah, if they need a stroller they’re not going to remember much, if anything about the trip. The parks are not going to turn down foolishly spent money.


I’ve heard that psychedelics at the Magic Kingdom can be enjoyable, but you probably should know how to handle them before taking that trip.

I can tell you exactly how I ended up in Disney Jail with a friend and his little brother.

Those two were wild kids, and we went on “It’s a small world”, when they decided to hop out of the boat and hang on to the back to try getting dragged in the water. The ride pretty much instantly stopped, the house lights went on, and I swear doors opened up out of solid walls, and we were unceremoniously ushered to the little room to wait until his Mom was summoned. We got kicked out, which pissed me off because I was the “good kid” who stayed in the boat.

Fun fact: You could pretty much always spot the disney cops because they never have facial hair, and at least when I was younger, they would be the only young to middle aged guys by themselves, sitting on a bench with a tolled up newspaper (that had their walkie talkie in it). Haven’t been there recently, but I suspect they’ve probably upgraded to “clean shaven guy with collared shirt by himself on his phone on the bench, but really watching the crowd”.

King’s Island is my “Home” park, and this was the first year in a decade that we didn’t buy season passes. (We were planning on waiting until fall 2020 and buying platinum passes so we could tour several parks this summer. That… didn’t work out.) I’ve only been to Disney once. (Full Disclosure: I’ve been to Disney Springs twice since the last time I went, but I was planning on doing a full Disney trip last summer. That… also didn’t work out. :slight_smile: )

I agree with you, the Cedar Faire parks have better rides. But the theming at Disney is just way better, and it’s a nice change, and there is a much better “separation from reality” there, which is nice sometimes.

If I had to choose one, probably Cedar Faire. But thankfully, Why not both? :slight_smile:

WDW is technically a municipality in Florida, right? But I thought their security guards were Orange County Deputies paid for by Disney.

Ooooh, relatable story time!

Over 30 years ago, my school band was selected to play in the parade at Disneyland. Why a school band from an unremarkable Chicago suburb was selected, I’ll never know. Side note- we were really poor at the time and due to a phenomenal set of circumstances, the school and band director “found” the money to pay for my trip. There I was, in Disney, the first trip I’d ever taken. We marched the first day and then were given the rest of the day to hang out in the park. It was marvelous. Anyway, my girlfriend and I, along with a few of our friends, were riding in those cars that go over the park on the cables. I want to say they had a sort of cage feature to them. Anyway, one of the people I was with decided it would be super funny to spit out the side, onto people. They only did it once. We giggled as 14 year olds are want to do and went on.

There waiting at the end of the ride was a sharply dressed man wearing an angry look. The 4 or 5 of us were escorted into an office and scolded for the loogie-missle we had hit a patron with. We must’ve hit Mickey in the nose or something…how did they find us? After some scolding, and 2.5 buckets of tears from the girls, we were allowed back into the park proper, abd told that if we made even the smallest offense we’d be standing outside, regardless if we were in the parade or not. I remember we spent the rest of the day looking over our shoulder for him.

It was slightly traumatizing.

Luckily, my girlfriend decided to introduce me to skinny dipping in the hotel pool that night, so it was a net win for the day!
