Jessenia Diaz, 26, of Torrance, was arrested Tuesday at the Happiest Place on Earth for allegedly trying to sneak her children into the theme park.
She was charged with suspicion of criminal trespassing after Disneyland officials said she tried to bring her two daughters, ages 3 and 4, to the park without paying.

“I will publish the truth,” Díaz promised in a tiktok video showing her surrounded by Disneyland security and Anaheim police officers in front of the Goof Sky School roller coaster.
“I recorded the reason why everything published is full of lies.”
“Social media is full of lies and hate,” Díaz captioned the 10-second video, describing it as the “#worstday.”
In another video posted to her TikTok in July showing her two daughters enjoying a carousel ride, in which she identified herself as a “single mother,” Diaz responded to questions about the incident.
Some asked if their children were okay after the arrest caught on camera.
‘Yeah. Thanks for asking,’ he replied. “Thank you for worrying about my daughters.”
Diaz criticized the police account, calling the allegations “complete lies” as she shared a video showing her surrounded by Disneyland security officers and Anaheim police officers.
Other users, however, blamed Diaz for putting her and her young children through the ordeal, to which she responded, “If you don’t know, you should respectfully say nothing.”
In response to another comment, Díaz threatened to file a lawsuit.
“I will surely sue,” he wrote. ‘I have proof LOL. That’s all he said, she said.
