Disney World sees huge rise in concealed-gun arrests

Disney World saw a dramatic rise in tourists being arrested for having concealed weapons over the past year — even though the Florida theme park was closed for months, a report said.

The world’s biggest theme park saw at least 20 gun arrests in 2020 — up from just four in 2016, the Orlando Sentinel said, based on five years’ worth of sheriff’s reports obtained through a public records request.

The problem appears to have only increased this year — with at least 14 people arrested for carrying concealed firearms in the first four months alone, the Sentinel said of records.

The 2020 rise was all the more dramatic given that the Orlando park was closed from March until July.

Just days after it opened, a Georgia mom was arrested at Disney’s Epcot Center with two loaded pistols and marijuana in a diaper bag as she visited with her family, including her 7-month-old daughter.
