A spree of violence erupted in the Magic Kingdom Park area late Monday and into the early afternoon hours on Tuesday. It all began shortly before 9:00 p.m. on November 24, when law enforcement responded to three separate battery calls within a 15-minute period at Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney Parks fans learned about the incidents via the X (formerly known as Twitter) account @WDWActiveCrime, which tracks and records law enforcement responses in and around Walt Disney World Resort.

The first reported violence occurred at 8:57 p.m. on Monday, when police responded to a call of “battery (unwanted touching or striking someone) at Magic Kingdom Park. Less than an hour later, that report was updated to indicate that the incident was a “verbal fight.”

Walt Disney World Resort has not issued a public statement regarding any of the five violent incidents that occurred at its theme parks and hotels in the last 24 hours. It’s unclear whether any of the calls were related to each other, but as of the publication of this article, they were reported as separate incidents.
