Overview
- The incident unfolded during dinner service at Steakhouse 71 inside Disney’s Contemporary Resort, with police reporting the episode took place on May 19.
- According to an arrest affidavit, the guest allegedly threw three cups of water at a manager, grabbed another manager, removed his name tag and dropped four glasses that shattered on the floor.
- Orange County deputies responded that night and arrest records show Leslie Helen Varley, 57, was later booked on two counts of battery and robbery while some reports also list criminal mischief.
- Varley told detectives she reacted after a manager made a comment about her disabled daughter and that she took the name tag to photograph it for a complaint, a statement recorded in the affidavit.
- Reported damage was minimal at about $20, no cast members required treatment, Disney issued a trespass warning barring her from the property, and criminal proceedings are pending.
