Did you check with snopes.com first? This is a rather old "wives tale" that seems to be passed down from generation to generation...

It is true though that Disney takes this type of stuff pretty seriously. Security is pretty prevelent in the parks but uniformed and plain clothes "officers" as well as many other means of surveillance. You would be amazed as how much of the property is covered by camera.

Lesson: If your mother tells you she loves you, check your sources!

there was a family of three (mom, dad, young DD) at wdw. they became friendly with another couple staying at their resort. they wound up doing alot of the parks and meals together with them as they really seemed to hit it off. they were with them pretty much nonstop for 5 days! while in fantasyland, the daughter needed to go to the bathroom and the "friend" said, "oh i have to go i'll take her no problem." so the parents just waited at the door of the bathroom. the "friend" husband said he was going to run and get a drink and be right back. the parents waited a few minutes and they never came out. something wasn't right. the parents immediately found a cast member who put out a call to security et al.

in 7 minutes, the "friends" had given the kid a horse tranquilizer, changed her clothes, and dyed her hair. immediately security put the park on lock-down and, thank goodness, they caught the "friends"! this was all in the course of less than 15 minutes.
