Play stupid games...... Guests booted from Disney World after stunt on Epcot ride: 'Clear violation of our park rules' (NEXSTAR) – A group of guests at Disney World were booted from the park last week after allegedly engaging in unauthorized aquatic activities at Epcot. More specifically, at least one of the guests was filmed getting off a ride boat at the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros and diving into the course's waterway. Video of the alleged incident was shared to social media on Oct. 7 by a visitor seated in the boat directly behind the group. In one clip, a guest in a light T-shirt can be seen standing alongside the waterway and diving in head-first, while another guest — presumably a friend — cheers him on from the boat. A second clip shows the same guest seated back in the boat with his group. Two of the riders appeared to be wet as though they had just come out of the water. The person who posted the clips to social media indicated that multiple people had jumped in. “So this was the second kid who jumped in and they stopped the ride for about 15 minutes,” the witness, Instagram user Mike Collantes (@ChefMike_Collantes), wrote. He added that he “thought security would be waiting” for the offenders at the end of the ride, but claims the group just “walked right off” when it was over. Another viewer, however, alleged that the group wasn’t allowed to continue their visit, claiming she saw the same people get “escorted out by security and put into cars” by Disney staff. Disney World has since confirmed that the group was removed from the resort after the incident. “This behavior was unsafe and a clear violation of our park rules,” a spokesperson told Nexstar. “The guest and his party were trespassed.” The WDW spokesperson did not say whether any members of the group were given a lifetime ban from the property. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office told Nexstar that its officers were not called upon to issue a trespass warning, as they have in previous cases of guests being barred from Disney World. Disney also didn't specify which rules the guests violated, though the park strictly prohibits visitors from engaging in unsafe behaviors, accessing unauthorized areas or impeding park operations. Disney World can also trespass nearly any guest they deem unfit to be in attendance, per its official conduct policy. "We reserve the right to deny admission, prevent entry or require a person already admitted to leave the Walt Disney World Resort or any part thereof, without refund, liability or compensation, for failure to comply with any of these rules, for unsafe, illegal or offensive behavior, to ensure safety, security or order, or if we consider that the circumstances otherwise so require, in our sole and absolute discretion," the policy reads.

I didn’t want to post anything because this is supposed to be a happy place to forget problems. But I am really struggling. I am heartbroken. My little buddy Link is gone. He passed away unexpectedly on 10-16-26. A pet is not just that three letter word. They become your family too. He came into our lives at a time when we needed it. I guess God decided his work was done, but it’s still so hard to let go. I know it’ll get better every day, but I believe everyone has that one dog/cat that leaves an indelible mark on your whole being.
