In St. Augustine, Florida, a family man named David Swindler took his clan to Disney World for some overpriced fun when the local sheriff’s department raided his hotel room and the Swindler fam got the boot from the Magical Kingdom forever.

He and his family were staying at the Pop Century resort over the Labor Day weekend and though he had only booked a two-night stay, he was hoping he could extend his family’s visit. “I did not say I had a meth lab. I told the guy on the phone I could have built a meth lab in the length of time it took you guys to answer the question about the extra room, ‘” he told WFTV.com.
Even though authorities found zero traces of meth or meth-related equipment, his entire family was booted from the resort and now Swindler is banned for life.
News 6 reached out to Disney for a comment on the story, but has not heard back.
Swindler has been told to file an appeal with Disney security, who has since issued him a trespassing warning for all properties, reports First Coast News.
“And I said, ‘I could have built a meth lab in the length of time it’s taken you guys to answer my question, ‘” he said. Swindler said that he accepts responsibility for his claims, but really just didnt think anyone would take him seriously.
That remark reportedly prompted a raid on his room followed by being “Frozen” out, that is, a lifetime ban from the all Disney.
Swindler said he was on hold with the front desk for about 15 minutes and let his frustrations be known.
“It has been all consuming”, said Shelley Swindler. Here’s a link to her guilt-ridden hubby explaining himself in a YouTube video in the hopes of using social media to somehow correct the Larry David-esque situation. A spokesperson told On Your Side they will review the complaint and respond.
Still, Swindler feels like a Dumbo for what happened, according to his wife.

At that point, things started breaking bad for Swindler, who admits he doesn’t know why he made that exact joke.
