How Long Does It Take to Book Someone in Jail

Keeping the magic alive (and guests happy) at Disneyland is a lot of work. In fact, Disney has employed a number of secret procedures to ensure incidents are taken care of without drawing any direct attention to the matter. Case in point: Disneyland jail.

With undercover cops and smiley security guards roaming the park, reprimanding uncooperative guests can happen in broad daylight without other guests even noticing. However, this seamless procedure has some serious consequences and could result in major, life-changing punishments (page 6), including getting banned from Disney parks forever (page 8).

Up ahead, we uncover what it's really like inside Disneyland jail and what people — including, actress Blake Lively (page 4) — have done to land themselves in Mickey's slammer.

Another mishap that will land you in Disneyland jail? Inappropriate behavior. While this is more of an umbrella term, one of the most common incidents is fighting. Whether it's for elbowing or punching, fighting with another guest or cast member is a sure fire way to see what Disneyland jail is really like.

Too much to drink

Disney's California Adventure may allow drinking in its park, but its no excuse for those who abuse it. In fact, those who have too much to drink and, as a result, act inappropriately can be taken to Disneyland jail and promptly removed from the park. In some cases, Disney has gone as far as to charge drunk guests with public intoxication.

Want a FastPass to Disneyland jail? Sneaking in will get you there. In an interview with David Letterman, Blake Lively discussed the time she and her brother were arrested at Disneyland for sneaking into the park. "My brother thought it was a really good idea for us to go to Disneyland … so, he put hairspray on the stamps of somebody that came out, and you put your hands together [to transfer the stamp] and then you go through," Lively recalled.

Although the transfer of the stamps worked, they were not as sneaky as they thought. After successfully going through the turnstile, Lively and her brother were met by "these guys in normal outfits" (aka, undercover Disney cops) and taken to Disneyland jail.

It's no secret that Disney goes out of its way to protect its guest from any type of magic ruiner. That said, Disneyland jail is more of a way to remove a disruptive guest from the premises before Mickey's friends at the Anaheim Police Station take over.

Another punishment guests face when landing themselves in Disneyland jail? They could get banned from Disneyland (and other Disney parks) forever.

That said, there is a way to undo this devastating punishment. Those involved in less serious incidents have worked with legal teams and written genuine letters to Disneyland customer service about how they used the unfortunate experience as a lesson. It's no guarantee, but the park has lifted bans for those who are sincerely sorry.
