    Everyone talks about a mysterious purgatory you get sent to if you misbehave at a Disney theme park. But is it real?

    Shoplifting appears to be one of the main reasons for guests claiming to have been sent to the Disney prison.

    When I was 12, a friend stayed with us because her parents were having "problems." She shoplifted at Disneyland and we went to Disney jail.

    Although being drunk at Disneyland also seems like a good way to get your ass behind mouse-shaped bars.

    "Disney jail" appears to be not quite an actual jail, but a room run by Disney security where they take you as they figure out what to do with you.

    Here's a video of the alleged happiest jail on earth.

    Back in 2009, Blake Lively told David Letterman she and her brother got sent to "Disney jail" at Disneyland for trying to sneak in without paying.

    "My brother thought it was a really good idea for us to go to Disneyland… So he put hairspray on the stamps of someone who came out, and then you put your hands together [to transfer the stamp to your hand] and then you go through the turnstile and we went through. Then there were these guys in normal outfits that said, 'Come with us,' and we went into Disney jail."

    "My mom was with us," Lively said, who claims they were "incarcerated" for about an hour. "It was an honor being put in Disney jail, and I'm trying to find ways to act out again so I can be put in Disney jail. But not real jail."

    Reputable news organizations have claimed that the jail exists.

    Twitter: @latimes

    According to the Los Angeles Times, "Disneyland has a jail for disruptive guests. They're typically held in a security office until Anaheim police arrive."

    And a former park employee confirms in an article on Cracked that there is some sort of security holding pen at the park in Anaheim.

    Disney

    "Oh yeah, Disney Jail totally exists, too. It's the happiest jail on earth, but that's still not a place you want to end up. Imagine being locked up, underground, in a room with bars on the windows and The Lion King playing on an endless loop. If you're underage, we call your parents. If you're old enough to know better, we call your family to pick you up. Generally speaking, winding up in Disney jail means we're kicking you out of the park, sometimes permanently. Any Disney felon gets all of his or her passes revoked, and we do our best to make sure you never, ever get an annual pass ever again. So think twice before you try to assault a group of random people while waiting in line for Pirates of the Caribbean."

    So…does Disney jail exist???

    Disney declined to comment on the record to BuzzFeed about specifics of a Disney jail, but said rumors of it are "misleading" and a "wives' tale."

    But it's clear that if you disturb the Disney peace by stealing or being too turnt, security WILL take you to some sort of holding pen and potentially confiscate your park passes.
