A police report eventually revealed that a female guest was arrested after reportedly battering two Walt Disney World Resort cast members. Here’s everything we know about the incident.Battery Incident at Disney’s Contemporary ResortThe primary victim, identified in the police report as a Disney Duty Manager, told law enforcement officers that a 57-year-old woman named Leslie Helen Varley became “irate” over seating arrangements for her large party dining at Steakhouse 71.

Then, she allegedly approached the Disney cast member, forcibly removed his name tag from his suit jacket, and walked away. He followed her toward the check-in desk, hoping to retrieve the name tag.The second victim, another Disney Manager, said she initially attempted to assist other cast members in addressing Varley’s seating concerns. After she informed the group that they could not move tables to sit together, Varley allegedly grabbed the Disney Manager by both shoulders and forced her to move approximately six steps.Credit: Disney FanaticThe second Disney Manager witnessed Varley throw glasses filled with water and ice at the Disney Duty Manager.
