Guest banned from WDW for meth lab joke.

In this day and age of our sue happy culture where everything is always someone else's fault, police do not get called, people are not escorted from hotel rooms in the small hours of the morning and lifetime bans are not issued without a darn good reason. No management would risk the reprercusions of such a mistake. Whether it started with a stupid, ill advised "joke" and ended with, perhaps, violent behavior, we' can only guess.. All we know is what Mr. Swindler, Disney lover, handicapped victim, is telling us.

This is what I was thinking. I have seen horrible behavior in the last 20 years of going to WDW where the person was not escorted out but were rewarded by Disney by giving them things to make them happy. I would think that you would have to do or say something pretty serious to have the cops called on you and have you banned from WDW. Heck they even let you steal from them and they do not do anything.

An updated Frozen song for the occasion....

Do you want to build a Meth Lab?
Here's the thing that you must do.
Get yourself over to Pop Century.
Or Art of Animation Too.
Bring a filtered ventilator,
Aluminum and Sudafed.
Be careful with Red phoshporus,
or we could all wind up dead.
Do you wanna build a Meth Lab?
It doesn't have to be a Meth Lab.

Okay Fine.....

Do you want to build a Meth Lab?
We could steal some P2P.
Using hydrochloric acid,
And Walter White's own recipe.
It's a 20 hour chem chore.
but we'll make lots of Money!
Just remember lots of Febreeze,
Cause this stuff smells like cat pee.
(Tick,tock,tick, tock)


and so on.....

Disney needs to hurry up and issue a statement of some kind eventually. The longer they sit back and wait, the more they are fueling this man's wrath... and the thought of what repercussions he has in store for YouTube next make me shiver. :eek:
I disagree. Disney will never make a statement about it. That would serve to legitimize the situation. If it goes to court then you might be able to find out via public record, but, it would be a major mistake to make it sound like they are worried about the outcome by defending their actions. It is private property used for public entertainment. No one is owed an explanation other then Mr. Swindle and I'm pretty sure he knows why it happened.

I was being completely sarcastic in my post, but I agree with what you said.

Yeah, I'm pretty comfortable siding with Disney after many more facts have come out.

My conclusion: He CLEARLY had a lot more of a "record" and Disney finally decided, enough is enough. Don't come back. This story goes back way longer than some meth lab comment. He probably has at least 2-3 run ins with guest services every trip and they have a whole file on him.

After they dealt with a belligerent outburst yet AGAIN, they finally decided this guy is not worth the effort.

Having worked my fair share of customer service jobs, everything about this guy rubs me the wrong way. Entitled, never happy, just looking for handouts. I got severe flashbacks of being stuck working a customer service counter at a toy store on Black Friday, dealing with a horde of customers just like him.

And not to make this about religion, but people like him are why I left the church over a decade ago. Being a self-professed God-fearing person does not give you license to be so entitled and exempt from being punished for your behavior. This isn't David and Goliath. This is a tantrum from a manchild, who just so happens to be wheelchair-bound with adopted children.

But yes, let the letter writing campaign begin.

The news reported that a raid was conducted by Orange County Sherriff's Office. Has anybody inquired of the OCSO to try and find the blotter or report for the incident? Are these public record? I would assume it would reveal more details of the incident, perhaps give us more of what the real story was?

He wasn't arrested or ticketed so the only record would be a call and that would be fairly vague.

Interesting correllation, All the people I've had the worst experiences with have called themselves 'Christians' When I hear someone call themselves self-referentially a 'Christian' I now run in the opposite direction as fast as I can. I think Gandhi had the best observation

'I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.'

Kind of what I'm thinking. I'm guessing there is another version of this story and it involves some not so nice behavior on his part. Disney isn't in the business of shutting off the cash inflow. Something serious went down.

Oh I'd be willing to bet a ton that this guy is a real piece of work and deserved what he got.

...his family on the other hand. Not so much.

I believe that's called stereotyping, which is generally frowned upon for any group. As usual, one or two bad apples have the tendency to spoil the whole bunch.

I would suggest that for any group, the ones who are the most visual, generally tend to be the ones on the fringe, and not necessarily representative of the other 99%. In short, I think ones own actions, not their group classification should be used to judge them.

I understand why this came into the conversation, but I think it borders on being an inflammatory statement that's not necessarily germane to the conversation.
