Little else is known about the incident, its perpetrators, or what was stolen. Law enforcement responses at Walt Disney World Resort are often routed to centralized addresses, so it’s not clear exactly where inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios the theft occurred.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department frequently releases police reports related to crime at the Central Florida Disney parks, so more information may become available in the coming days.

Is Walt Disney World Resort Safe?

Headed to Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, or Disney Springs? Don’t worry; the Central Florida Disney parks are operating normally and don’t seem to be experiencing any impacts from the law enforcement response on Wednesday afternoon.

Walt Disney World Resort does its best to diffuse and respond to reported crimes on its properties discreetly, and this incident appears to be no exception.

If you do happen to see law enforcement officers or barricades related to the incident on December 10 (or any other police response at the Disney parks), follow all instructions from deputies or Disney cast members and avoid blocked areas.
