Disneyland is described as a place that is only “happy” when guests follow rules. Serious transgressions can lead to being sent to a Disneyland security holding area before local authorities get involved. People have shared experiences of being detained there, including celebrities. One account involves a child who was banned for a year after attempting to transfer a reentry hand stamp using hair spray and sticky skin. Disney security caught the children, and they were taken to a white, interrogation-like room. The guest later suggested that admitting wrongdoing might have resulted in a longer ban, while insisting on innocence led to a shorter one. The holding area is not a traditional jail cell setup.
"The "happiest place on Earth" is only happy if you don't break the rules. If you run amok in the house of Mouse, it's straight to jail for you. Disneyland jail, that is. There might not be any cells or characters locking you up with Mickey-shaped keys, but it's a real place where people committing serious transgressions are sent before being handed over to local authorities."
""I was banned for a year because I went to Disney prison," Blake Lively shared on "Late Night with David Letterman." The incident happened when she was just 6 years old, which would have been around 1993. "I was really young, so I wasn't responsible for this," she said. "This is all my brother's fault.""
"She and her brother, who was 12 at the time, knew a trick for transferring the hand stamp that allows a guest to reenter the park after they leave. If you spray another person's hand with hair spray, at least at the time, then press the stamp to the sticky skin, it would transfer over. The two offered to transfer their stamps to people in the parking lot, and were caught by Disney security."
""We go downstairs with Disneyland [security], it's all white rooms, everybody's dressed in all white, the furniture is all white," she explained. "And they just interrogate us. ... It was crazy. And it was really scary and traumatizing." Lively speculated that if she and her brother had admitted what they had done, they would have been banned for life - but because they insisted on their innocence, despite being caught on camera, the two were only banned for a year."
