“It is extremely important that visitors remember that guns, or weapons of any kind, are strictly prohibited at Walt Disney World ”, wrote the website disneydining.com upon learning of the arrest.
“While the state of Florida may allow people to walk around with a gun if they have the proper documentation, Disney is privately owned. That means Disney can create and enforce any rules they want, and they don’t allow weapons (including things like pepper spray) on any of their properties.” Read more:
