Five people were arrested Sunday at Disney World's Magic Kingdom with felony charges of assaulting a sheriff's deputy and resisting arrest.
The incident started after the five, four teenagers and one woman, started spitting and cursing at park guests.
The five fought against security officers eventually leading to one of the teens being stunned with a taser. All five were eventually subdued, and the police do report that all of the suspects appeared to have been drunk at the time of the incident.
More charges are expected to be filed since all of the suspects were under the legal drinking age.

A $10 million lawsuit has been filed in federal court by a man who said he was falsely arrested on sexual-imposition charges at Paramount's Kings Island amusement park last May.
Keith Bays, 44, has sued the park and several of its police officers. He contends that he was wrongfully arrested and "manhandled" by park police after two women complained about his behavior toward them.
The lawsuit said the charges were later dismissed.
Park officials did not return a call Wednesday morning seeking comment on the lawsuit.

Three people were charged Wednesday with roles in the shooting of a theme park actor whose fellow actor was not supposed to have live ammunition during a mock gunfight.
The July 7 shooting at the Wild West City theme park is not believed to be intentional, but left the 37-year-old victim, Scott Harris, partly paralyzed and with a bullet in his skull.
An owner of the park, Michael Stabile, and a supervisor, Nathan McPeak, were charged with violating public safety by allowing a gun with real ammunition in the show.
