This happened to me on our last trip to Disneyworld. No one was stalking us. When you are on a ride, or in a line for a while with someone who has an Apple device - air tag, AirPods, etc - the tracking notification can get confused thinking that device is trying to track you when it’s just a device on someone close by. 

I think you're probably right. There are guides to the "optimum" route to take around Disney: two parties that read the same website could well stay in close proximity for a sequence of rides.

Thats not quite like this though is it? If someone remains in close proximity to you, for example a friend takes a long road trio with you and has a tracker, you would not get that alert unless that person didn't also have his iPhone with him.

Though I would think that a theme park environment is the ideal location where an iPhone owner might be separated from their AirTags for a bit - such as AirTags on bags in strollers, camera bags, strollers themselves (I can speak from experience on how easy it is to lose a stroller in the park). Family members often separate from one another as they take kids of different ages on rides etc. I can easily see how an AirTag would be out of proximity of its owner for a bit in the theme parks.
