Ever see someone get busted at Disney?

During a spring trip back in 2009 we witnessed something rather odd. We were on a walkway between Main Street USA and Tomorrowland waiting for Wishes. There was this young couple up against the railing who at first we thought nothing of. As the fireworks began, an older man who was with them pulled out a small piece of paper and started reading something off of it as the couple embraced hands. As it turns out he must have been some legal minister of sorts, because they were getting married right then and there!! No gown or tuxedo, just holding hands as he quietly conducted the speech during the show. It was not bothering anyone, and it was rather cute to watch. My wife commented afterward how special that must have been and congratulated the newlywed couple. Others around us shook hands with and congratulated them. It was no distraction, just magical to see a couple get married during Wishes!
But no less than 15 minutes later ((crowds were really heavy, and we had not made it to the hub of Main Street yet)), two security persons come up and were talking to the couple and the gentleman who performed the wedding. Next thing you know, all 3 are being escorted away. The security were not happy, but we could not hear the full conversation. That was quite possibly the oddest thing to date we have ever seen while at Disney. We did not see the couple again, but a lady who overheard the conversation with officers said the couple had no permission to be married there o_O !
To me it was not a bad offense. But what things have you ever seen if any that involve security at Disney escorting people away? Have you ever seen someone get the big "BUSTED" treatment while at WDW?

I saw a woman approached and taken behind the scenes once by guys in security windbreakers. No idea what she did, what they said or what happened later. I only noticed because there was this rush of big, young guys in dark windbreakers and they caught my eye. As they escorted her back, I went back to shopping. :)

I remember seeing some snot-nosed teenagers get kicked out of Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin for cutting all the people in the Stand-By line. I actually snitched on them. I personally felt a little bad, but I was waiting a good 45 minutes because my nephew begged me to ride, and I wasn't going to let a group of teenagers take advantage of all these people including me! Does common courtesy even exist anymore?! o_O

After heading back to our room at an AllStar we saw several security escorting a few members of a tour group down the stairs of our building with a tour guide waving his hands and yelling at these kids. They had been having a "recreational smoke" in the stairwell and got busted. There was so much smoke it looked like a scene from That 70's Show. A security guard was making everyone walk to the far end staircases until it aired out. That stunk (literally) because I just wanted to use the elevator and couldn't.

Snitched on a few teens for cussing loudly, discussing unpleasant topics and and making a ruckus of themselves in line at Space Mountain. The room was already loud but their voices could be heard over everyone! Once we got into the main 'lobby like area, I called a CM over you to ask them to be quite or leave. They didn't soften there voices and cussing and they were escorted out, the little kids behind me went OOOOOOOOOO, :joyfull:as they walked by. I think I saw them walk out of the park later with security

Another time I remember seeing something like this . People, People, People, People Teenagers running, people, security, people, people with cellphones recording it. Apparently they tried to steal from the store I just walked out of. It didn't seem like a big deal though, the teens hardly even got out into the street before the were caught. Obviously drunk or high and it involved enough crowd interest, but the security kept shooing us off. My main thought is, "these are the biggest idiots on the planet, Disney is FULL of security cameras.:facepalm:"

At Night of Joy back in '97 my buddy had snuck in a flask. We were 16. While we were in the Haunted Mansion he took it out a took a pull from it. he went to toos it to some friends in the car behind us. It fell short. Ride stopped. When it ended they came and got him, the youth pastor was called and they spent the remainder of the evening sitting together on the bus.

Sorry no pictures I was too busy trying to extract my then 7 year old son from the scene. He's now a teen so if it happened again he would be the one with the pictures. It did however really happen, it was a hey look at me everybody event, she just quickly flipped up her top from time to time.
Sorry I forgot my smilie on my post. I believe that it happened and I was being sarcastic by asking for pics.

I sometimes wish that "certain tour groups" would be escorted out. One night for Wishes there was a group of about 50 of them and they all sat on the sidewalk and were polite and things were great. Another day I take my then 8-year old daughter on ToT and a smaller group is on the car with us. The whole time in line (fortunately only about a 4 minute wait), in the room with the Twilight Zone short and then on the actual ride this group was completely out of control and the guide was laughing right along with them.

Met a cast member who was playing Beast in the BatB stage show at what was then DMGMS back in 1996 or 97. He showed me a bunch of backstage areas but I got bagged in the utilidors. They just made me go back up in the park and he got yelled at, nothing more serious. It was a very cool day though to see that much behind at 3 parks (No AK yet) ahhh to be in my 20's again.....
