Illegal camper on Disney World's abandoned island thought it was a "tropical paradise"

Orange County, Florida police arrested a gentleman who had been illegally camping on the abandoned "Discovery Island" at Disney World. All Disney parks are closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and, besides, Discovery Island has become overgrown and the structures decayed since it closed as an attraction in 1999. (Above is 2017 video of the property.)

According to police, the man said he didn't realize he was trespassing and thought he had found a "tropical paradise."
