Mickey Mouse Goes Above and Beyond for Tired Guest

“The Happiest Place on Earth” can quickly become the most tiring place on Earth. A Disney day is full of magic, laughter, and fun, but it is exhausting! Going from ride to ride with little break in between is enough to wear out even the most fit.

An average day at Disneyland includes up to 9 miles of walking. A long day (rope drop to Park close) could easily see up to 13 miles. That’s easily more than the average person walks on a typical day, so it’s not surprising that exhaustion sets in when the fireworks end.

For one man, the day proved to be too much. A rest on a bench quickly became a nap on a bench at Disneyland’s entrance toward the end of the night. A crowd gathered around him, including one very special visitor.

Mickey Mouse showed up to try and see if he could wake the sleeping guest. All decked out in his Disney100 finest, Mickey slowly approached the guest who had sprawled out on a bench to catch a quick nap. Mickey tapped him several times, but the guest was completely out.

Eventually, Mickey gave up and let the sleeping man rest, motioning that the poor guy probably needed a break and sending him “heart hands.”

He even turned to the crowd and motioned for them to be quiet.

This is one magical experience this guest won’t remember. One TokToker said, “Even the baby is laughing,” referring to a baby that can be heard in the background laughing at Mickey’s antics. With so many bad things occurring in the world, and even in Disney Parks, this is the sort of heartwarming wholesomeness we need right now!

Fight Causes Disneyland to Shut Down Trams

Disneyland Resort is known as “The Happiest Place on Earth.” However, some Disneyland Guests who have become known as “Disney Karens” try and ruin it for all. Disneyland Resort, located in California, is a renowned and beloved entertainment destination. It encompasses two theme parks, Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, as well as various hotels, dining options, and entertainment venues. Guests come from far and far to spot Sleeping Beauty Castle or see Mickey Mouse himself.

With thousands of Guests heading to Disney Parks daily, emotions, attitudes, and much more tend to change throughout the day. Guests have been seen fighting, yelling, breaking Disney rules and much more. Recently at Disney World, a bloody brawl broke out in front of the Train station. Guests caught fighting at either Disney Park will be removed from the Parks, or even banned for life. Guests have abandoned children at Disney Parks, or had children taken away from them.

This “Karen” seen in a TikTok goes viral after she is seen yelling at other Guests on a Disneyland tram. In this video, one Guest yells, “This is not six flags.” Disney Cast Members were heard telling Guests they could not pull off until they settle down.

Disney Security got involved and can be seen talking to this Disney Guest. Guest were chanting, “Get her off.” Sadly this video does not show what happens next. One would think after she yelled at Disney security, that she was removed from the Tram. The trams remained shut down until the altercation was handled.

Disney Cast Members and Disney Security do their best to keep Disney Parks clean, safe, and a magical location for Guests. Disney World is well-equipped to handle challenging Guests and has trained its cast members to remain calm and professional in such situations. They are trained to address Guest concerns while upholding the rules and policies of the park. In extreme cases, disruptive individuals may be escorted out of the park by security.

All-new Live Action “The Little Mermaid” Greeting Begins May 26

Beginning May 26, to celebrate the opening of Disney’s film, “The Little Mermaid,” guests will be able to visit with Ariel from the new live action story “The Little Mermaid” at Disneyland Resort and at Walt Disney Presents in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort.

The Little Mermaid” film is a reimagining of the 1989 animated film with enhanced depth and dimension, including additional character backstory and motivations, new and reimagined characters, and unique elements that expand the world of the original film. We’re always looking for ways to build connection through the power of our stories, and we are excited for new and existing fans to enjoy Ariel from both the animated and live action stories this summer at Disney Parks.

Guests can use the My Disney Experience app to find character locations for both Ariel from the live action story and Ariel from the animated story.

‘The Simpsons’ May Finally Be Heading to The Disney Parks

At Universal Studios, Guests will find tons of their favorite tv and movie franchises, ranging from Jurassic Park to Nintendo. This collection of intellectual property will only increase with the addition of Epic Universe in Orlando. Epic Universe will act as the third theme park at the Universal Orlando Resort and is set to feature a ton of new adventures for Guests to enjoy.

Among the new offerings will be a new version of SUPER NINTENDO WORLD featuring Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, and all your Nintendo favorites. There’s also rumored to be a land centered on the How to Train Your Dragon film franchise.

However, one iconic franchise still calls the Universal Studios Parks its home, for now, that is.

The Simpsons Ride can be found at the Universal Orlando Resort as well as the Universal Studios Hollywood Resort and is essentially an exact copy on both coasts. It features the essential cast of the legendary animated series, with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie attempting to escape the clutches of Sideshow Bob.

Both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Florida at Universal Orlando Resort are home to many of the same iconic attractions anyway, including one infamous cartoon family.

With Disney purchasing 20th Century Fox, the company now owns The Simpsons, making us wonder about the future of this iconic yellow family at the Universal theme parks. The version of the ride found at Universal Studios Hollywood was closed unexpectedly for weeks and also disappeared from the Park map, indicating Universal may be getting ready to lose this franchise.

However, nothing official has been stated regarding The Simpsons at Universal or Disney. But the possibility of seeing the lovable yellow family at the Disney Resorts is looking good.

A new statement from Walt Disney Company CFO Christine McCarthy suggests that titles like The Simpsons may be headed to the Disney Parks, eventually. The CFO stated that “consumer data” from Disney+, Disney’s streaming service, will be used to “better inform creatives and Imagineers” when it comes to further theme park developments.

When looking at the data, The Simpsons ranks as one of the most popular titles on the streaming platform:

While this is far from an official formation, we would not be surprised to start seeing The Simpsons brand have more representation inside the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts. The data does not lie, The Simpsons is incredibly popular to stream, as are other series like The Mandalorian, Bluey, and Modern Family. 

The show has been running steadily since 1989, and with more seasons on the way, it would make a lot of sense for Disney to embrace this essential American family.

New Details Emerge After Bloody Brawl at Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom made headlines on May 16, 2023 but not for the rides, the food, or the parades. Guests were misbehaving…again. This is becoming an all too common occurrence. It had gotten so bad that Walt Disney World even updated its website, asking guests to behave and warning them of severe consequences if they do not. It seems not everyone got the memo.

A fight broke out between two families in front of the train station near the front entrance. Soon after it occurred, and at the time, there wasn’t a lot of information to go on. We now know more about the knock-down drag-out and the motivations behind it. The altercation began over a photo. You read that right—a photo.

Sheriff’s Deputies say that the fight began around 2:30 pm when one family (Family A) wanted to take a photo with the Disney100 sign commemorating the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary. The only problem? Another family (Family B) happened to be standing in the way. A member of Family A asked Family B to move so they could take their photo, which didn’t sit well with Family B.

A member of Family B punched a member of Family A in the face. Then more members of Family B jumped in, and chaos ensued. What began as a simple request turned into an all-out brawl. Family B was substantially larger than Family A and did not hold back. They ganged up on the smaller group, and the punches kept flying.

Official reports say that at least one person was injured in the melee but declined to press charges. That individual was treated on the scene after the fight ended. Two others were escorted out of the park by security.

Bystanders recorded the fight and uploaded it almost immediately to social media, where it quickly went viral. Fox35 managed to obtain one of the bystander videos, which can be seen here:

The fight at Magic Kingdom is not the first violent disagreement to occur in a Disney Park, and unfortunately, it isn’t likely to be the last.
