Maybe it required an animal sacrifice so they caught a Mouse?

Ever see someone get busted at Disney?

That's what we thought as well. It was done so quietly that it never once intruded on the Wishes presentation. It wasn't like it was a disturbance or anything. I don't know what the problem was. We never heard what exactly was said between security and the couple and minister. One woman we talked to as were leaving Main Street was telling us she overheard part, and said something how weddings were only allowed through packages run by Disney, and this couple had no permission to wed there on property. I don't know all the rules or how that system works, but that certainly was not a "bad" offense if you ask me.

I think the issue is that Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings charges couples tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege of getting married inside the Magic Kingdom (I think currently it's $10-12k for the ceremony site rental alone). They don't want people having "unauthorized" weddings there, no matter how discreet, unless they get to charge for it.

I saw a guy wearing a Drunk 1 shirt and his son who looked to be about 8-9 in a Drunk 2 shirt with him. I could not believe it.

Disney does not allow unauthorized weddings. You have to pay to be married on property.

During a Laugh Floor show in 2007 they were doing the twins segment when they show two teenage sisters (twins). Apparently they were offended because they both flipped off the whole audience on the big screen! They were taken off and escorted out before they even got to the churro guy jokes...

We were exiting the MK and DS ducked into restrooms behind Guest Relations right after he said uh oh something is happening at GS window, explained the CM in window was higher level management and not his normal colleagues dealing with man, lady and baby in stroller. Security Guard standing behind the couple about 10 feet. Ultimately the couple went to the monorail and security followed them until they boarded the express.
Security they radio'd to Security to meet them at TTC and escort them to car and off the property. Wooba.
Still wonder what they did with a Baby in tow.

Just to add to the wedding story-
In addition to Disney wanting your $$$ to get married onsite, I think another issue is trying to prevent WDW from turning into an Elvis/Vegas wedding chapel. If anyone could walk in and get married with their own minister/priest, then you'd see tux's and wedding gowns flying through the turnstiles all day long.

I don't know why the girl kept yelling, like all she was doing was calling attention to the situation for kids to see! although I don't hate the guests who actually helped put the guy on the ground and help that poor cm who was getting a pummeling.I literally hate everyone in this video. #1 reason why I hate guests.

Tuxedos, wedding gowns, or any time of formal wear are forbidden and against park dress codes. Just like if you came to the park gates dressed as a costumed character, you'd be denied entrée.

About 2 months ago, me & DH were in the Rose & Crown waiting for some friends. There was a big group of folks dressed up in costumes representing various WS countries acting like idiots. One of said idiots sat down at our table and actually tried to reason with us as to why we should give him & his friends our table. Our friends showed up about 3 minutes later so the guy left us alone. Maybe 10 minutes later, one of the girls in the same group thought it would be awesome to put on one of the hat lady hats & play the piano. (Another one of the group was egging her on.) All of a sudden a security guard showed up with a 6'5" guy in chef's whites and told her it was time to leave. (I'm guessing the chef was there for back up as the security guard was an older gentleman and somewhat on the small side.) The piano player tried reasoning with security that she needed to grab her drink before leaving. The security guard replied "No, I think you've had enough". I didn't follow them out, but I'm guessing she got escorted out of the park. Took about 20 minutes for the rest of the group to exit.

Bridal gowns and formal attire are a separate issue. Such clothing isn't allowed in the parks because Disney considers it a costume, and they don't want children approaching strangers thinking that they're cast members. Sometimes couples in wedding attire are let in if the cast members at the gates aren't familiar with that rule, but more often than not they're turned away.

Not if you're on the Dining Plan......BAZINGA!!
But seriously, the only reason Disney is against the wedding thing is money, plain and simple.

Exactly. Disney doesn't want anything cutting into their (recently heavily promited) wedding industry.

Three people quietly having a moment are escorted out.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
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?
Eighty people screaming and chanting and ruining WDW for everybody else are welcomed.
Great sense of justice. Could it be that the difference is that private wedding ceremonies cost Disney money, whereas Tour Groups bring money?
