Alex Morgan among group of Orlando City SC players kicked out of Disney World

A group including some Orlando City Soccer Club players and U.S. women's national team star Alex Morgan were kicked out of a Disney World park during the weekend.

Morgan and Orlando City players Donny Toia and Giles Barnes were among six people listed on an Orange County Sheriff's Office incident report documenting why they were escorted of the park and given a trespass warning.

No charges were filed in connection with the incident after the players and their friends left the park.

Morgan, Toia and his wife, Courtney, were escorted out under a trespass warning. Barnes also was given a trespass warning, according to the report. The other two people are listed on the report as witnesses.

According to the report, Epcot managers called deputies to trespass several individuals who were "impaired and verbally aggressive."

Barnes cut in front of another guest inside the U.K. pub and they later got into a verbal argument, the report says. He used curse words and was escorted out of the pub to be trespassed. As he was being taken out, the deputies were called back to help with other individuals.

"As we passed Spaceship Earth, I observed several people being escorted to the front," a deputy wrote. "They were all being very loud and belligerent toward staff around guests.

"I observed a white female, who was later identified as Alexandria Morgan yelling, screaming and taken (sic) video and possibly pictures. She appeared to be highly impaired."

The report goes on to say a deputy heard Morgan "make a loud verbal statement" that she knows the Orlando SWAT team.

"The Orlando City SC organization is aware of a situation that occurred at Walt Disney World's Epcot theme park earlier this week and is awaiting official communication from Disney or the Orange County Police Department," read a statement the club gave to the Sentinel on Tuesday afternoon. "The club will address the matter internally when there is a full understanding of what occurred."

The incident was first reported by TMZ Sports.

A photo posted to Morgan's Instagram account showed a large group of players with their significant others and friends outside a restaurant at Epcot. The group included Morgan's husband, Orlando City midfielder Servando Carrasco, and fellow Lions Dom Dwyer, Seb Hines, Donny Toia, Joe Bendik, Scott Sutter, Giles Barnes and Dillon Powers, among others.

The caption on the photo read, "Annual around the world in 8 hours. No big."

Orlando City is mostly off this week due to an international break that includes no Major League Soccer match for the Lions this weekend.

Morgan and the Pride won big on the road over top-ranked North Carolina on Saturday and will travel to Portland Wednesday ahead of their National Women's Soccer League semifinal against Portland Saturday.
