Bad things happen at the happiest place on earth.
Join us for a special screening of Stolen Kingdom, the acclaimed true-crime documentary that pulls back the curtain on 30 years of mischief, scandal, and theft at Walt Disney World. Directed by Joshua Bailey, the film dives into the underground world of Disney urban exploration, chronicling everything from the exploration of abandoned attractions like Horizons and Discovery Island to the infamous 2018 case of Patrick Spikes, who broke into Epcot’s shuttered Cranium Command ride and made off with thousands of dollars in stolen props and costumes. Featuring firsthand interviews with key figures from the exploration community, Stolen Kingdom traces how early pranks evolved into real crimes, building to one lingering mystery: Who stole Buzzy?
