Can Disney REALLY ban people for life?

[Disneyland1084]

A couple years ago I watched a YouTube video of a couple who got banned from DL for cutting in lines. The lady said she bought an annual pass the following year (and had already gone multiple times)even though she was banned. How strict is Disney when they ban people? How would they really know if a "banned" person came back?

Can they really ban somebody for life?
Yes.

How would they really know if a banner person came back?
Facial recognition software.

When you've been trespassed off the property, if you show up again, you can be escorted off the property and handed over to the Anaheim police department. And this means not just Disneyland, but any of the 3 on site hotels and Downtown Disney, too.

They can certainly do it. I have generally heard though that after a while you can appeal your case and they may lift the ban. I'm sure that depends on the severity of the infraction, etc. I'm sure it's possible for a trespassed individual to enter the property using a different name on the ticket, but if caught, I doubt they'd be too happy about it.

I’m not surprised at all that banned people make it into the parks. But if you are caught, you will face criminal charges for trespassing. It’s a serious risk.

They can but also....whats funny is they have had a few Vloggers and Influencers over the year get bans and then...a few years later they are back

So if you have enough money or influence you won't be

Interesting part is why not ban from all parks instead of the one with the infraction? Life bans I believe somewhere around 5 years can try to get back in the good graces again.

Money

Companies only care about money and are fine with gambling that those banned at one park won't do the same thing at another and are willing to take the money

The fact that a lifetime ban can be lifted in 5 years, just screams. We don't care what you do as long as you pay us

I think anyone can appeal their ban. It's based on the infraction, not your status. If you wandered into a backstage area, that's maybe not as big of a deal as if you got into a drunken fist fight and hurt somebody.

I believe that they DO ban you from all Disney properties. I'm not sure I guess, but I think that's how it works.

Then it’s not lifetime…
