[JapanUrbanLegend] Mia at Tokyo Disneyland

 

A couple visited Tokyo Disneyland with their young daughter, only to find her missing after a brief moment of distraction. Despite searching various locations, including the lost child center, they couldn't find her. Desperate, the parents pleaded with the management, who then ordered all exits to be sealed and instructed security to search for the child's description.

While monitoring the CCTV footage of the main entrance, the mother noticed a familiar sight. A boy being led by a man was wearing shoes identical to her daughter's. The man was eventually arrested on kidnapping charges. The kidnapper had cut the girl's hair short and dressed her in boy's clothes but failed to change her shoes.

This urban legend originates from the United States, where a similar Disneyland-related story exists. The difference is that in the American version, the kidnapper is never caught, and the daughter is found in a restroom.

In reality, Tokyo Disneyland, like other Disney parks worldwide, is vast, making it easy for children to get lost. Consequently, there are many who might target these children for crimes, but there are rumors that officials avoid publicizing such incidents to prevent media attention.

However, most of these rumors are just that—rumors. Disney is well aware that its resorts are large and complex, making it easy for children to get lost. They also know that pedophiles and kidnappers might target the resort. Therefore, Disney resorts have top-notch security systems and personnel, including detailed manuals and thoroughly trained security staff. They have extensive monitoring systems to prevent and quickly respond to any incidents, ensuring lost children are safely and quickly returned to their guardians without trauma.

In the United States, where gun ownership is relatively free, Disney resorts train their staff rigorously to prepare for violent crimes like shootings. They even employ armed security guards, often former military or special forces, equipped with bulletproof vests, tasers, pepper spray, handguns, submachine guns, and assault rifles. These guards are trained to handle almost any situation that might arise, including dealing with kidnappers and pedophiles. Therefore, the security within Disney resorts is well-maintained, and visitors need not worry excessively.
