AFTER ROUND ROBIN FLT; LNDG AT SNA; HELI PLT ADVISED THAT HE VIOLATED THE DISNEYLAND THEME PARK TFR.

Narrative

DURING THE PREFLT PREPARATION; THE EXISTENCE OF THE TFR AT DISNEYLAND THEME PARK; AND PROCS TO AVOID ENTERING THIS AIRSPACE; WERE THOROUGHLY CONSIDERED AND DULY NOTED. AND SINCE I AM BASED AT SNA ARPT; A LOT OF THE FLYING THAT I DO IS NEAR THIS PARTICULAR TFR. I AM QUITE FAMILIAR WITH ITS DIMENSION; ALSO THE CONSEQUENCES THAT COULD ARISE FROM AN UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY INTO THIS AIRSPACE. WHILE ENRTE; I MANEUVERED AROUND (IN MY ESTIMATION AND ACCORDING TO GND REFERENCES AT LEAST 3 NM TO THE E AND NE) THE TFR AS PLANNED. AFTER COMPLETING THE FLT AT SNA THE TWR CTLR ADVISED ME TO CALL SOCAL APCH CTL REGARDING A POSSIBLE PLT DEVIATION. SOCAL APCH INFORMED ME THAT THE US CUSTOMS SERVICE; WHICH APPARENTLY PROVIDES RADAR COVERAGE OVER THE DISNEYLAND THEME PARK TFR; OBSERVED ME TO BE INSIDE THE TFR. SOCAL APCH ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD CREATE A RADAR PLOT IN ORDER TO PROVE WHETHER I WAS WITHIN THE TFR OR NOT. AND IF PROOF EXISTED THAT I WAS WITHIN THE TFR; THEY WOULD FORWARD THIS INFO TO THE FSDO FOR ENFORCEMENT ACTION. PLTS THAT PLAN ON OPERATING IN THE NEAR VICINITY OF A TFR OR ANY OTHER HIGH PRIORITY AIRSPACE SHOULD ADVISE ATC IN ADVANCE; IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY CONFUSION OR WORRIES BY ATC AND PLT.
