Yeah. Amazing what people will do just to cause trouble. One guy spoiled fans wearing csotumes to Epcot during the Star wars Weekends event in Florida.
Disney had invited the 501st to march in their parade several years ago. the RL and 501st followed the park's requests and every year, they've given us more freedom. First year it was only the 501st. when they proved themselves, disney opened it up for the Rebel Legion. Disney lets the fans walk about at the MGM studios park in costume but no helment except the park's cast members. You can't sign autographs either at ANY Disney park. One of the fans who was walking in the parade with the local rebel legion and 501st was going around signing autographs when he'd gone to Epcot Center in jedi costume. Some friends of mine went there the next day in costume but were turned away from the park. The manager told us why and explained about the person walking around in jedi gear signing autographs and causing a disruption.
We were lucky Disney didn't kick the lot of us out of the entire Star Wars Weekends thing.
