Fight Breaks Out as Crowds Wait For Fantasmic!

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Hollywood Studios

Taking a trip to a Disney Park can be an absolutely exhausting experience — from early mornings to late nights, waiting in long lines, and dealing with massive crowds. A Disney vacation could really be an exercise program disguised as a vacation, and nerves and patience can dwindle as the day goes on. However, Disney Parks are also magical places filled with children and adults who just want to have a good time and smile. Unfortunately, a wrench was thrown into that good time recently when two groups visiting Disneyland Resort got into an all-out brawl.

The fight started while Guests were gathered along the Rivers of America at Disneyland Park to celebrate the return of the nighttime show, Fantasmic!. A video of the fight was shared on social media and, in the video, Disneyland security can be seen pulling the Guests apart as other Guests ran to get out of the way. You can watch the video, which was shared by bursteey (@theonlyburst) on Twitter, below:

It is unknown what caused the fight to break out in the first place. After videos of the fight began to go viral, Disney officials released the following statement:

“We do not condone this type of reprehensible behavior. Disneyland Resort security intervened swiftly, deescalated the situation and removed the guests from the park.” 

According to the Anaheim police, no arrests were made, and the incident was fully handled by Disneyland security.

Sadly, this is not the first time that a fight has broken out at a Disney Park or on Disney property. Recently, two families got into a fight at Disney Springs when one family was caught stealing a wagon stroller from another family. In the past few months, fights have also broken out at EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney security does its best to break up these altercations as soon as they are made aware of the issue. Guests who engage in that type of behavior are escorted from the theme park they are in and risk being banned from Disney permanently. If you see a fight while you are there, do not get involved, find Disney security as quickly as possible, and keep yourself out of the fray.

Verbal Fight Breaks Out After Disney Guest Cuts in Massive Hour+ Line

When Guests go to Walt Disney World, they must always recognize that there are rules and regulations that must be abided, such as waiting in line for attractions.

Magical express line

Walt Disney World offers many rides, restaurants, shows, and attractions at the four Parks. At times, the selection can be overwhelming which may cause stress for some Guests, especially when lines are long. Wait times can end up being hours long for attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train or Peter Pan’s Flight, but if a Guest chooses to enter the queue, they will have to wait in the order in which they entered.

Troost (@troost123456789) posted a TikTok yesterday showing an altercation in which a Guest appears to be cutting in line for Avatar Flight of Passage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The poster of the TikTok noted the wait time had hit over an hour. Please be warned that there is vulgar language used in the video. Viewer discretion is advised.

The TikTok starts with a Guest asking the man who is seemingly cutting in line stating “Is he threatening you?”. This question is followed by the Guest reaching out and grabbing the other Guests near him. The Guest who was moving through the line stated, “You don’t understand, my father is waiting for ME”. The Guest who was seemingly cutting in line eventually walks away after ending the heated exchange with, “It’s not your problem”. There is a chance that the Guest was attempting to find the rest of his party which may have been further ahead in line, however, from the communication displayed in the video, that was not said.

Walt Disney World has official rules and policy page which can be found here. Walt Disney World’s official statement on cutting in line and using vulgar language is as follows:

Please show common courtesy to fellow Guests and our Cast Members by not using profanity or engaging in unsafe, illegal, disruptive, or offensive behavior, jumping lines, or saving places in lines for others. For your safety and the safety of others, please refrain from running except in designated areas. 

Disney World is located on private property and therefore can operate under its own rules and regulations. Guests who are unable to follow these rules are at risk of being removed from the park, or worse, depending on the situation at hand. Please be sure to always be aware of the rules set out by Disney before your visit to ensure you are not creating an unsafe or negative environment for Guests and Cast Members.
