A woman was arrested at Disneyland this week after lying about her kids ages, according to local news station KTLA5.

A woman was accused of trying to sneak children into Disneyland park without buying tickets. She reportedly told Cast Members that her children were two years old. Children under the age of three do not require a ticket and can enter the Disneyland Resort theme parks at no cost.

The family was stopped as the children appeared to be older than two. When confronted, the mother refused to comply with Security Cast Members. She was ultimately arrested for trespassing. During the debacle, an officer reportedly requested to see her ID and she refused that as well, which landed her with a charge of “obstructing a peace officer.”

A video of the woman being escorted out by police and Cast Members went viral. You can watch it below.

The video contains footage of the woman’s children crying and clinging to their mother, and yelling “help” and “help me” to the onlookers.

Guests sneaking kids in by pretending they’re young enough for free admission is not a new phenomenon. Parents of newly-3-year-olds are common culprits, and often are encouraged by other families who have done it previously, but guests have tried to push the lie with much older kids as well.

Another video went viral in 2022, where a family appears to sneak an older child in using an infant car seat in a stroller.

Disney does not require proof of age, and the “two and under” policy runs on only an honor system.

Happy Pin Tuesday from EPCOT! Today I found new pins, finally got to see the Figment tote, and of course, got an update on the Tiny Village Drama in Germany pavilion.

EPCOT Monorail Red

I got to EPCOT a little early to ride the EPCOT Monorail to see if anything had changed at Test Track. The monorail gives you a great view of EPCOT and specifically behind the walls of the Test Track refurbishment.

Test Track Refurbishment

There hasn’t been much visual progress since our previous visit. It seems that the crews are working on supports for something in the entrance for the time being. Be sure to stay tuned to our website for more detailed construction updates.

Club Cool – Not Cool

When I visited Club Cool it was the opposite of cool – they have run out of so many flavors. Beverly is still available, of course, but all the good ones are gone. Very disappointed.

JAMMitors

I saw that the JAMMitors were rocking out on the World Discovery side this morning rather than in Celebration Garden – likely because there was filming for a Canadian morning show around 10:30 a.m. this morning.

Starbucks – Connection Café

After enjoying the JAMMitors for a bit I went to check on Connection Café to see if they had any new items, they didn’t, but they didn’t have a line either. I took full advantage of the quiet morning queue and grabbed a Vanilla Chai Latte to start the day.

The Seas

At The Seas, I met our newest manatee friend, Inigo. There was a diver in the main tank interacting with guests through the glass. Finally, I stopped by to say good morning to the cuttlefish because they remain my favorites.

Figment Tote – $44.99

The Figment Tote has been restocked in ImageWorks. A small token for the DVC lounge still being closed, I guess. Recently, Nana shared with me that for an extra $10, you can have your name embroidered on the back, which I thought was a neat idea.

Canada Pavilion

I started my World Showcase walk on the Canada side to see if the walls were down yet. No luck. The walls remain, and this giant white structure does, too. Any ideas on what they might be working on in there? Let me know in the comments below.

Winnie the Pooh Lugs

The Pooh Lug Bags are still available today. They must’ve gotten a few in stock since the big sellout debut.

Mirabel Moment

On my walk down the International Gateway, the back entrance/exit of EPCOT, I saw Mirabel had snuck over. She was meeting a few fans, but her attendant told me she came to see the Food & Wine Festival today.

Sparkling Cake Bake Shop Signs

The Cake Bake Shop is coming together very nicely. Today, all the lights that had been installed were on, including some inside. Most spectacular to me are the twinkling lights surrounding both main entrances. Stay tuned to our website for more detailed updates; here is the previous update.

La Maison du Vin Fenetre (Window)

Back in EPCOT in the France pavilion, I noticed that the La Maison du Vin window had received a new display. This is definitely one that I recommend coming to see in person. There are so many details of France in this one display it could make for a great game of I-Spy.

My favorite details were, of course, the small white mice painting the display into color. Notice any famous arches, perhaps?

The American Adventure

The American Adventure was quiet today. I find the fountain in this pavilion to be rather peaceful when it isn’t so incredibly hot and the Ibis leave you alone. Be fair warned. DO NOT SIT AND EAT HERE. You will be pooped on or, at the very least, accosted and harassed by the Ibis.

Tiny Village Drama Update

The Tiny Village Drama continues to unfold. If you haven’t read my photo report previously, you can catch up on the silly drama from last week.

Conductor Mickey Mouse has been watching high on the hilltop for over a year now, but recently, Minnie Mouse has made her way into the miniature village as well. Looks like she just arrived in the town square. I wonder if she came to see Mickey? Let me know what you think in the comments below.

The church remains a scene of calm panic as the same people continue to wait for their next step. They are consistent, I’ll give them that.

On the opposite side of town, there is a dog working hard in the back of a wagon, keeping watch. That guy following them looks a bit suspicious, but I think the pup will be able to handle any hassle.

Our tiniest friend still waves her white flag, relatable, as the man just stands by, ready to issue help, I hope. The railing still hasn’t been replaced. She stands strong, though. Hopefully, this storm rolling in won’t topple her over.

Germany Pavilion

The Karamell-Kuche is always so tempting; that’s the treats shop in the Germany pavilion. Today, they had a Caramel Apple Butter Bar available for $5.29. I skipped today, but it does sounds pretty good. I was really focused on checking to see if we had gotten those Oktoberfest ears from Disneyland yet that match our collection here. NOPE. I’m starting to think that we may not be getting them at all.

Friendship Boat 3 in the Marina

On the drawbridge between the Africa area and the China pavilion I saw Friendship 3 doing a donut in the marina. If you look closely at the back of the boat, you can see the back doors are open, and the engine compartment in the stern is open. Likely, Friendship 3 is just being tested by maintenance.

Youth Frozen Watch – $24.99

In the Fjording Shop, the exit shop of Frozen Ever After in the Norway Pavilion, I found this kid’s watch set. You are able to change the band and the faceplates of the watch. I think it’s pretty cute, especially the Olaf image.

Australia Food & Wine Booth

The Australia Food & Wine Booth remains in the tent today. I wonder what is holding them up in the structure they intended to put it in now. Initially, there were reports that they were just behind, but it’s been a while now. Stay tuned to our website, and we will be sure to update you when or if the real booth ever opens.

Adios EPCOT Monorail Red

On my way out of EPCOT, I noticed in a full circle moment EPCOT Monorail Red zoomed by just as it had when I arrived. I had phenominal parking today. I can’t even call it princess parking because it felt like VIP parking — I was literally as close as this picture was taken — it was wild.

Hope you enjoyed our day in EPCOT. I look forward to our next visit. My favorite part of the day was watching the faces of guests light up, realizing a SCUBA diver was interacting with them through The Seas glass. Let me know what your favorite part of the day was down in the comments.

When the crypt doors creak and the tombstones quake, spooks come out for a swingin’ wake… wearing this new Haunted Mansion pullover.

We found this at World of Disney in Disney Springs. It is also available now from The Disney Store.

Haunted Mansion Semi-Cropped Zip Pullover – $54.99

The pullover is purple with the iconic Haunted Mansion wallpaper art in black across the body and sleeves. The design features ghoulish, abstract visuals of faces in various styles. Each visual repeats across the pullover.

At the neck is stitching to distinguish the collar. The zipper goes a quarter-length down the body.

On the zipper pull is a metal charm with the Haunted Mansion “HM” logo in purple.

The back of the pullover carries over the same pattern as the front.

The Disney Eats Churro collection is coming to the Disney Store in October, and a new preview has been shared online. Inexplicably, this is also referred to as the “cinnamon stick” collection.

Disney Eats Churro Collection

Coming soon to the Disney Store this October, the preview image features a Loungefly mini backpack. The backpack is a glossy cream with glossy brown accents. The front pocket features the “cinnamon stick” in the shape of ‘D’ for Disneyland and is wrapped in an iconic Mickey patterned red and white paper. Like the rest of the backpack, the side pockets are the same glossy colors with smaller cinnamon sticks on the edge of the pockets.

There was no Spirit Jersey, Starbucks travel tumbler, or ears featured for this upcoming addition to the Disney Eats Collection. This preview did not highlight any Walt Disney World-specific merchandise, but the collection should eventually be available at both resorts.

Disney Eats and Stitch Attacks Snacks Collections

The Cinnamon Stick collection marks the ninth addition to the Disney Eats collection in 2024. The most recent release came in September with the Candy Apple collection. The other entries this year are January’s Snacks collection, February’s Pizza collection, March’s Macaron collection, April’s Lollipop collection, May’s Ice Cream collection, June’s Donut collection, July’s Shaved Ice collection, August’s Pineapple Whip collection, and September’s Candy Apple collection.

The remaining Disney Eats collections for 2024 include November’s Gingerbread collection and December’s S’mores collection.
