Two years ago my wife, son, and I had an interesting Disney security experience. We were at the park at open, and went straight to the Small world ride after entry. Just as we were going to board the boat, a young man (around 15yo) got in line beside us. (there were very few people in line and the four of us were the only ones boarding the boat.) He was oddly talkative to us, but we were polite. During the ride, he was taking photos with his Iphone, and looking around. Just before the end of the ride, I thought I saw him take a pic of my son. I tried to act like I didn't see it, and hugged my son tight to me. As the ride came to a halt, he stood up very quickly and as he jumped out of the boat, I did see my son's face on his screen display. Incensed, I took off after him as I got outside, I spotted him heading toward the Dumbo Ride (old location). I oddly enough had my video camera on and decided that I would get footage as much as I could. I was only 20 feet from him when it appeared he was heading for a restroom so I called out to him. He turned, looked at me, and then bolted for the Cast member door just to the right of the restrooms. Since I had just gotten his face on video, I decided I would return to where I left my wife and ask for security. I had only begun to walk back to Small world ride, when a CM noticed me and asked if I needed any help. I told her I needed to talk to security, and literally within 30 seconds there were two "tourists" (disney security) helping out. Within minutes I has showed them the footage, and the central security people that watch the video monitors tracked the guy, found him and took care of business.
The security folks were very caring and understanding. During the hour or so that I wasted during this event, my wife, and son, along with my aunt and uncle were taken to the front of nearly every ride in the fantasyland area. After I finished talking with them, they gave us about 20 fastpasses, business cards for about 5-6 of the security guys at MK, and wished us well.
To top it off, when we arrived that evening at our resort (AKV), there was fresh cookies and milk with a handwritten note from Mickey.
My son had no idea what went on, but he had a wonderful time.
I would say that I was pleased not only with the efficiency of the Disney Security folks, but with their ability to spread around a little of the magic helped sooth things with my wife.
