Disney World is often called the most "magical place on Earth," but we have to imagine some of that magic is ruined when you go straight from Magic Kingdom to jail.

39-year-old Brandon Delane Looney, a former employee of Trinidad ISD in Henderson County, TX, was recently sentenced to two years in jail after he pleaded guilty to embezzling nearly $340,000 of school funds in order to pay for multiple trips to Disney World, and "spending sprees" at the Disney Store.


According to KLTV, Looney worked with the Financial Litigation Unit of the U.S. Attorney's Office to liquidate his assets, including his home, paying $200,000 in restitution before he was sentenced.

The remaining balance will remain collectible for 30 years after his sentence ends.  He faced a maximum prison term of ten years before pleading guilty.
