A man arrested for camping at Walt Disney World's Discovery Island told police he didn't know he was trespassing on what looked to him like a tropical paradise.

The man, who was taken into custody Thursday, had been on the island since Monday or Tuesday to camp for a week, according to an Orange County Sheriff's Office report.

Walt Disney World and Disneyland parks have been closed through the coronavirus outbreak in the US.

As a result, Walt Disney World resort has temporarily furloughed 43,000 employees with medical benefits still in place, President of Unite Here Union Eric Clinton said last month.

The man was charged with a misdemeanor of trespassing on posted property and Friday posted bond. He has a scheduled court hearing in June, according to the court clerk's office.
