What’s going on at Disney????

A Chicago tourist who was angry she didn’t have a FastPass to Tower of Terror ended up punching a Disney World cast member in the face and began pushing buttons, which the employee warned could have affected the ride, according to a sheriff’s report.
The 23-year-old woman wasn’t charged -- the Disney worker didn’t want to press charges, said the Orange County Sheriff’s Office report.

The attack began in the evening of July 13 when the Chicago woman and her group were upset their FastPasses weren’t valid for the popular ride at Tower of Terror that often draws a long wait at Hollywood Studios.

The incident did not happen in the elevator shaft portion of the ride but in the pre-show area where visitors are ushered into the creepy library to watch “The Twilight Zone” host Rod Serling’s introduction.

A 23-year-old Disney worker offered to help them with the FastPasses, but the group only became more angry.
On her podium phone, the worker called for a supervisor to request security.

That’s when the Chicago woman “began pushing buttons on her ride podium,” the report said.
The Disney worker asked the Chicago woman to stop and when she was ignored, she pushed the tourist’s hand away from the buttons. She got a punch in the face, the report said.
The scene kept escalating.

“The family continued to yell profanities and record her with their phones," the report said.
The woman and her group left Tower of Terror as the worker spoke with security. But they were soon found by security.
When the sheriff’s office responded to the call, the worker’s eye was swelling, although she declined treatment.

Disney has issued a lifetime ban on the Chicago woman.

I’d rather be punched in the face than read another DeBerg thread.

I’d rather be shot in the face.

I'd step in front of the bullet if it was fatal, so I could be the one to get out of reading the Deberg thread.

The fact you would be left alive and have to suffer the fate of reading the Deberg thread is just a bonus.

I might even light my BBQ and apartment on fire too.

Did she step in the way of Mahomes taking the punch? I would, even if lethal.

Didn't they just issue a rabies warning like a week ago? I bet all these people have become rabid! Cat scratch fever.

Why not press charges? Make that bitch come back from Chicago to do some jail time.

That would be an odd thing to do. If somebody struck me while I was only doing my job, you are damn right I'd press charges. Disney does not pay enough for that particular job to sit there and take abuse like that.

Sends a bad message to the public. Ok, so I can hit that employee and not have to worry about charges. Bullshit.

They wanted me to work for them. I interviewed with them at X rate. Second interview went well and offered the job except at a rate 40% less than the original rate. I told them to **** off. I'm assuming some people take the significantly lower rate or they wouldn't be trying that underhanded shit.
