The local woman reportedly got angry when she learned her FastPass wasn't valid for the Tower of Terror ride.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL — A Chicago woman wasn't charged after police in Florida say she punched a Disney World worker in the face after learning her FastPass wasn't valid for the Tower of Terror ride. The Orange County Sheriff's Office said the Disney cast member offered to help the woman on July 13 but she remained irate.
Police told the Orlando Sentinel that the woman began pushing buttons on the podium — which could have affected the ride — and punched the Disney employee when she pushed her hand away.
Police said the woman and her group left the ride, but were tracked down by security.
