According to eyewitness accounts, police were seen outside the resort’s main lobby and entrance area.

Police Once Again Intervein at Disney
The sudden appearance of law enforcement at a major tourist destination such as Pop Century Resort has naturally raised concerns among guests and the broader public. The resort, which typically maintains a low-profile security presence, has now become the center of many eyes online.
However, this is not the first time that police have had to take control of Walt Disney World Resort property. Police often have to intervene at the theme parks due to unruly and often illegal guest behavior. Thankfully, the local police are there and able to help protect the resort at large.
As of now, no official statements have been made regarding the nature of the incident that prompted the police response. The situation remains fluid, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
For those planning to visit the Pop Century Resort or any other Walt Disney World properties, it is recommended to stay informed through official channels and to remain vigilant while enjoying their stay. The Walt Disney World Resort has long been known for its commitment to guest safety and will likely address any concerns as the situation develops.
