Other than banning this individual, will Disney take any further steps? I hope so, this is bull$&!t!! Marie

This is also being reported elsewhere. On a related note, happy anniversary to TOT!

I am so glad she got banned; she definitely deserved it.

Entitlementality.

She deserves to be in jail for assault. I hope that this is what does end up happening to her. Bad behavior should not be encouraged. CMs are pretty amazing and they really make the magic happen. This is just inexcusable. Marie

I'm really disappointed the aggressor won't be facing jail-time or assault charges.

How can the merge podium “affect the ride”?

Not sure and maybe the CM Just said that to get the woman to stop touching what she shouldn't have been in the first place? Do any of our friends have any more info? Marie

Might have been just said to discourage the tourist who later punched her.

Would love to see video of this.

How did they get past the FP check at the ride entrance?

How was there not a DPB post for ToT’s 25th?

I'm curious why the CM said to not press charges. The Orlando Sentinel report said she had a swollen eye. I'm wondering if Disney has made it hard for CMs to press charges against unruly guests or discourages it altogether.

The guest doesn't know that. Regardless, she interfered with and assaulted a Disney CM. If the CM doesn't want to press charges, WDW should.

This is insane and they should be charged with assault.
Very good question though- isn’t the second FP touchpoint as they direct you to your elevator/library?

Punching the merge CM definitely gets you on faster.

A quote from the report;

“We don’t tolerate unsafe behavior,” a Disney spokeswoman said when reached for comment.”

Really? How about “we don’t tolerate guests acting that way towards cast members”? Or is their safety not a concern?

And why did Disney not press charges? I admit I know nothing about American law but I’m thinking there must be some legal way of pursuing this without the actual cast member pressing charges? Maybe Disney want to sweep it under the carpet more than they want to stand up for the cast members?

Who knows. Perhaps the quote isn’t what it seems, but if I was running Disney I’d be making sure the cast members knew I had their backs, and would be pushing for the full force of the law here.

They probably went through stand by & jumped over to the fastpass queue.

Maybe she meant the pre-show? I am not sure where there are buttons anyway besides to say "everyone is in the room, start the TV."

The woman clearly spent her life-savings to buy a trip to WDW...there's no money left to get from a trial.

Pressing charges would be for jail or some sort of punishment. Not a lawsuit.
