Authorities said the dispute escalated into a confrontation involving both a cast member and a manager, with the guest throwing “multiple glasses of water.”
The guest allegedly broke four glasses during the incident. According to authorities, she told deputies she had overheard cast members discussing her disabled daughterās interactions with employees at Steakhouse 71. She also admitted to throwing water at a Disney duty manager and taking his nametag, claiming she needed it to identify him for a complaint..
Transportation incidents have surfaced before as well. In December 2025, multiple Disney transport buses were involved in a crash on Buena Vista Drive, one of the resort’s main roadways, causing significant vehicle damage and traffic disruption.
