Okay, what? Paddlefish was robbed....

...by a a scuba diver! Somebody apparently swam in through the lagoon in scuba gear, tied up some employees, and took over ten grand!

I think they may need to go check The Seas at Epcot for any rogue scuba divers!

Between the gators, the poisonous snakes, and the brain eating amoeba you wouldn’t catch me going anywhere near that water. . .

The area over by SSR and OKW is pretty rough, being along the golf course.

Difficult to say since it was after midnight. There wouldn’t have been any Disney transportation boats using the waterway that late so anywhere from POR to DS would have been possible. If they had a getaway accomplice so they didn’t have to park a car, that would help, but they could have left a car at any of the resorts along the “river” during the day and then accessed it later under cover of darkness. It probably took some planning to avoid security cameras, since those seem to be everywhere at WDW.

Definitely not an inside job. For sure.

How do have they much cash on hand especially when you figure most people pay with a credit card?

This is the wildest story ever. I’m so curious about where he got in and out of the water. I always assumed Disney had cameras everywhere

It could have been a combination of the daily cash receipts and the cash bank on hand for making change.

Not everyone uses a cc either. I only use one in a restaurant if they can bring the device to the table. I don’t let anyone take my card out of sight. Too much theft and fraud these days.

They also fenced off so much of the waterways or put high walls along them that would make getting out difficult. I wondered about the section along the treehouses. It seemed to be unfenced and low walls along because of how it’s laid out, but all you need is a small spot to access. I hope we hear the details when he’s caught.

What kind of James Bond stuff is this?

Disney should make a movie about it

The distance from Paddlefish to the treehouses is pretty far! That whole lagoon area right outside of Paddlefish is huge. Who in their right mind would want to be in that body of water, never mind swimming a distance
