The statement that the Orange County Sheriff's Department does not have jurisdiction within the grounds of Walt Disney World Resort is untrue. Yes, Disney World does provide a security team of licensed security officers, however, unless a person has committed a felony, it is technically illegal to detain a person, unless they do so willingly. The sheriff's department routinely patrols the property and are posted at the security checkpoints/bag check at every park. The roads through the resort are owned by the county and maintained by the government. The minor repairs and landscaping is done by Disney. The fire department, known as Reedy Creek, is technically an Orange County Fire Department branch, but assigned specifically to the Disney World resort area, with an operating budget provided both by Disney and the county.
No you will not see the OCSO patrolling in the parking lots, but you see a high number of security officers in vehicles and on bicycles. But just like your home, the law enforcement officers are not going to be there all the time and cannot prevent all crime. It happens, sadly.
You cannot really blame Disney for the incident. The resort I work for (no not Disney) has problems as well. We routinely have police on our property, along with a security force. Unfortunately you cannot stop all the crime all the time.
It all comes down to what the law enforcement and Disney do to help you in your situation. You cannot expect them to replace stolen items or fix vehicles (that is what insurance is for), but Disney has been known to comp a park admission or hotel stay to give your family another chance to enjoy your vacation without issues, hopefully.
Ultimately, it sucks that the car was broken into, and it sucks that as a victim you felt slighted and not taken care of. For those of us who live in Orlando, and visit these parks regularly, we know how it goes and we know that in a situation like that, there is probably nothing that could have been done to make you happy.
Hopefully, you give them another chance and have a better experience next time.
(I have never worked for Disney but have been a passholder for six years. I know many cast members, and work with law enforcement on a daily basis. i do know several deputies that patrol that zone, and know several security officers for Disney.)

While visit Magic Kingdom tonight, my father's 2005 Avalanche was broken into. Missing from his truck was an iPad that was hidden between the seat and the middle console. This same evening, a total of 6 cars were broken into, all of which were GM branded. I wonder what type of cars are being broken into. I would venture to say there are GM. It seems as if someone had a transmitter to unlock any GM car in the lot. We were parked Scar 112.

Okay chuckie/charles/chuckles/charlie or whatever other name you go by, I made an actually comment about the post. It had nothin to do with your meaningless ramblings. At first I was really tempted to be mean to you, but then when I realized you have done this for 10 years, it was obvious that you have a serious mental disability. Because of your obvious mental insufficiency, I didn't want to be mean.
But sense you started the topic, there is someone that everyone should be me to. Your mother. Because she obviously did a pitiful job of raising children. But even more importantly, I know someone who you can sue, and would actually win against. The state of Alabama. No government should EVER allow a woman who raised somebody like you to have children. And sense you seem to be unable to keep the most simple jobs in the history of the world, the state of Alabama should pay back your mother for all the money she has put into you over the years. I would tell you to go try to be a walmart greeter but I don't want another conspiracy theory to start about them. Give your mother my best.
Sincerely,
SI

That the victim's vehicle was apparently not busted into in a way that would attract attention tells me that experienced pros did the robbery. They knew how to quickly break in without doing obvious damage, so for all anyone who might have seen them knew, the car belonged to them.
Charles, I kind of shocked though, at your vehement attack on the OP, since I can't recall ever seeing you defend the company over an OP before. We actually agree that the OP needs to take responsibility for the risks they took and the unrealistic reliance they placed on garage security. It just seems to me you were a bit over the top in attacking them, don't you think?
There are definitely OPs that deserve a kick in the teeth right off the bat. The "parent" who didn't want to wait for their kid's plane to take off is a good example, but these folks wouldn't seem to qualify. How does taking a trip to Disney equate to them being rich brats? Those laptops could be cheap low end dinosaurs bought second hand, for all we know.
And take a deep breath, smoke a doob or down a shot before responding, please. This isn't an attack. I'm not related to the Phenix police or the big bad nurse. It's a simple discourse.

Not to be insensitive, but you can't really blame disney for missing laptops. It sucks that they were taken, but people steal things from cars here all the time. I have a jeep so I know all about things getting taken. But theres no reason to think that it was empolyees stealing it. Thats a parking lot with people constantly comin through, isn't it more likely that one of the hundreds of other people would be the ones stealing?

Red Alert ! Red Alert !!! Charles FINALLY spoke the truth when he stated - " I'm not going to take responsibility for anything I do ". The truth !! At last !! Who'd a thunk it ?????
Hmmmmm, Reality Check time, Charles. You have NEVER taken responsibilty for any thing or any mischief you have done. NEVER. It's always someone else's fault. Never YOURS. Good grief, Charlie, it has ALWAYS been YOUR fault, you ignorant little butt monkey. Can you not read your own posts and SEE that you are the cause of ALL of your problems ??? Not to mention being the cause of much of your mother's problems, as well ( though, being a scammer herself, we can see where you got it from ).
Can you REALLY be so stupid, that everyone else in the entire world can see it, but yet you can not ?????

No one is trying to "ruin" your life here, Chuckles. How can anyone who posts on RoR have ANY effect whatsoever on your pathetic little life ???? Just read your own inane, ridiculous reports on here that span the last 10+ years. EVERY one of the problems you list has been caused by YOU....no one else. EVERY ONE OF THEM !!!! Seriously, name just ONE PERSON from this site who has personally come down to Phenix City, AL, and committed a single act upon your person. Name one. Just one. Can't do it, can you ? That's because no one who posts on RoR could care less about whether you are being "ruined" or not. And, by the way, you appear to be doing such an excellent job of THAT all by yourself.
You know what, Chuckles ? I don't know of a single other person on this planet who has been thrown out of, not one, but TWO physician's offices !!!! Or who has been prohibited from entering several business establishments, or has been envolved in even one of the MANY, MANY, MANY episodic escapades that YOU have caused to happen. Let's face the facts, Chuckie. Trouble doesn't follow you around, you ARE trouble. You CAUSE trouble. And, apparently, everyone who sees you coming knows that. I'm wondering if there are any "Charles" laws there in Phenix City........Would you care to enlighten us on that, Chuckie ?
Do you even TRY to improve your life ?? When is the last time that you got up off your lazy butt and searched for a job ? When is the last time you did ANYTHING but complain and blame others for your own shortcomings and foulups ? In fact, the ONLY thing you appear to do is occupy valuable space and cause problems for normal people, you pathetic little piece of sub-human garbage. In fact, only thing concerning YOU, for which the rest of the world can be thankful, is that you will never reproduce. Seriously, what woman would EVER have YOU ??? And here's a thought - What's going to happen to you when your lying, cheating, scamming mommy is no longer there to take care of you ???? I know. You'll be sent to PARKWOOD !!!!!

Walt Disney World has its own police force. Orange County has no jurisdiction over the area. Seriously look it up yourself. WDW officers routinely arrest and detain offenders.
When did you notice these things were stolen? When you unpacked your car when you got home?
If you would have filled out a police report with WDW police then you could have used that report for your insurance claim. You do have insurance right???

Hello and thank you for your comment however being from Atlanta GA we are no stranger to crime and didn't think WDW would have a problem having cameras in their parking lots being they charge a 14 dollar a day rate per vehicle. Afterall...in Atlanta we have them in parking decks!!! Cameras are just a detourant no doubt..however being a Risk Manager I see alot of room for improvement in safety and loss that WDW should consider! They are not the only large company in America and should establish some of the loss and safety precautions that bigger corporations have in place not only for their consumers but that of their employees also! In regards to you not working for Disney...good for you!

Okay it's not like Disney World is out there telling crooks they have an "open door" policy for vehicle thefts. Does it suck that you had 3 Laptops stolen on your vacation..you bet. Disney or any Theme Park is not immune from "real world" problems. This could have happened ANYWHERE. What if they got taken from your Hotel Room? Would you have written a RipOff report if the Hotel didn't have the Sherriff patrolling the halls.
The fact is that Disney has it's own security. Have you seen the size of the entire Resort? Just go onto Google Earth and take a look. Disney actually manages what most would consider the equivalent to a medium size city. I don't think they release the actual numbers(for obvious reasons), but I would not be surprised if they have a security staff that rivals the size of the OC Sheriff Department.
But even IF the OC Sheriff patrolled the parking lot they can't be at every single spot at every single moment, and there is no guarantee that it still would not have happened. Even IF they had 100% video coverage there is no guarantee it wouldn't have happened.
Our car had been broken into however the robbers relocked the SUV as to not alert us that we had been victims of theft in Walt Disney World Parking Lot
- If you would not have been alerted, how would anyone else be?
Parking lot attendees (people with the orange sticks pointing you into your parking space) are looking and watching your vehicles when you park and it is most evident when you have alot of bags in your vehicle that most likely you will have computers as most people travel with laptops, ipads, etc..these days.
- Okay why the conspiracy theory? You really think the Cast Members who are helping you park your car have the time to actually look into every car to see what they can steel? They don't have the time for that. They are actually more worried about the hundreds of cars that are coming at them and making sure they don't get run over by guests who are driving in "vacation mode" and not paying attention to where they are driving.
And for full disclosure here. I do not now or ever have worked for Disney or any Theme Park company. But being in Orange California(CA) I do know several people who either currently work for them or worked for them in the past in various positions.
