The Disneyland policy states that children under the age of three are not required to purchase theme park tickets, but they must be accompanied by a guest who has a valid ticket and reservation.

The police also said that the woman has tried to sneak in her children through a similar strategy in the past as well. She was arrested for trespassing but later released on citation.

The New York Post reported that a Disneyland spokesperson confirmed the incident, stating that the woman was confronted by the security team but was uncooperative, which led to the involvement of law enforcement. 

This incident is not a unique case, as Disneyland has previously encountered many similar situations with guests trying to disguise older children as younger ones to avoid paying high ticket prices.

A similar incident occurred in 2022 at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, where a woman was caught on video trying to pass off an elderly child as a baby to avoid paying for the entry ticket. She reportedly put her daughter in a stroller and covered her up to hide her, but the child jumped out of the stroller and started running once inside the park.
