Disneyland Influencer Allegedly Cut Line, Got Upset With Guest For Saying “Hi”

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

Just days after we reported a confrontation between three vloggers at Disneyland Park, another Guest alleges a bad experience with a Disneyland Resort Influencer.

TikToker Randy James (@recylcingrandy) approached a mobile-order pickup window to get his parking validated after dining in the Downtown Disney District. After waiting a few minutes, he was speaking with a Disney Cast Member when an influencer cut in front of him and asked to pick up her mobile order:

“Some girl walks up and just inserts herself like, ‘Hey, I’m here for my mobile pickup,’” James recalled. “As if we were not, you know, talking to her and getting stuff done.”

Nevertheless, James kept a positive attitude and decided to compliment the influencer on her platform Converse. She thanked him flatly, and he realized she was filming the entire interaction.

“When she did, she panned up and got the Cast Member’s face in the shot. And I was like, okay, that’s a little weird,” James said. “I usually ask people permission to take video of them, or I end up cutting them out somehow, but I don’t know if that’s the same case for her… I thought that was a little weird and kind of rude and tacky.”

Later, James saw the influencer again. This time, she was panning her camera to film around the restaurant. James waved because he didn’t want to look “frumpy and gross” on camera.

“She said hi back. But then I noticed that she redid the video,  probably because I said hi in the video, and she did not want that,” James explained. “So I’m like, okay, okay. She’s one of those people.”

James ended with a reminder to be kind: “Just know that she was kind of rude and kind of inconsiderate of other people. So, yeah, try not to be like that, guys… If you are that person that filmed all that interaction and posted that video, just know that you could be nicer to people. Kindness goes a very long way, sweetheart.”

This isn’t the first negative interaction involving influencers at Downtown Disney. Last year, a Starbucks employee was fired after calling out an influencer for being rude to busy employees while waiting for a mobile order pickup.

Another Disney Influencer Speaks Up About “Attack”

Disneyland Resort is known the “Happiest Place on Earth,” but another Disney Influencer recently came out about an “attack” that was witnessed at Princess Nite.

Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort see thousands of Guests daily. With this number of Guests, anything can happen. Guests have been spotted cussing out Disney Cast Members, fighting with other Disney Guests in line, and much more.

While this is not how Disney wants Guests to think of their Parks, some Guests try and ruin Disney magic for everyone. Disneyland Resort is known for having two theme parks Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.

On March 7 and March 9, Guests could experience the Disneyland After Dark series as “Princess Nite After Hours.” Disneyland will also be hosting another event called. Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite on April 18 and 20, 2023. Disneyland and Disney World are known for having events for Guests to enjoy during different points of the year.

Disney Dining covered the first Disney influencer who came out about being allegedly attacked at Disneyland’s Princess Nite. Disney influencer, Justin Scarred, went on TikTok and YouTube to talk about him reportedly being “attacked.” While he could not share many details, the second person in this “attack” has decided to speak out.

Popular Disney influencer Spencer Emmons shared in a Youtube video that he wanted to “set the record straight” on what happened during the confrontation with Justin Scarred at Disneyland. Spencer made a YouTube, saying that Scarred got in his face and then yelled for him to get out of his face. While this “attack” happened over a question that Spencer asked, the Disney influencer states he was not the aggressor in this situation and the story that Justin Scarred is putting out is incorrect. He says the heated situation lasted maybe 20 or 30 seconds. He added that what is important that there was never a physical confrontation and that no one was in any danger. This situation ended on good terms with a handshake, he said.

The details that Justin Scarred previously shared do not match what was shared by Emmons, meaning that there are conflicting reports.

Disney Cast Members were notified when a newborn baby was left unattended, and parents were nowhere in sight.

Disneyland is where Guests go to make memories that will last a lifetime. Disneyland Resort is known as “The Happiest Place on Earth.”

Being known as the “Happiest Place on Earth” Guests expect to spot happy Guests, make good memories, and experience magical attractions and entertainment offerings.

With Disneyland sees thousands of Guests bringing families, friends, and others. Children can easily get lost in crowds.

In a TikTok, one Guest spotted a newborn baby that was reportedly left unattended for over 20 minutes crying. They couldn’t find the parents, and in the video, it says she came back and “acted as if nothing happened.”

@itsamandag_

When watching the TikTok, you can see a Disney Cast Member stopping the mother and, most likely, asking her questions pertaining to the incident.

While we do not know how this ended, we are glad the parents finally made their way back to the baby. And in the future, we hope others will have a reminder to never leave their children unattended, even if it is for a few minutes.

If you see a missing or lost child, or a child that has been left unattended, go find your nearest Disney Cast Member, and they will handle finding the parents, and taking the child to safety.

Disney Parents or Guardians may want to look into safety tips like adding a phone number or tag to children or placing them in a stroller or baby leash when trying to get through large crowds to help prevent missing or lost children inside Disney Parks.

Banned Disney Sellers Respond

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

The drama never seems to cease for rip-off Disney seller Christopher Martin.

Earlier this week, Christopher posted an 18-minute-long video blog that showed him being physically removed from the Walt Disney World Resort property. The video went viral within the Disney community, with many feeling shocked that Christopher was sharing the occurrence with the public. As he was being removed from the Magic Kingdom Park, he was given a yellow slip of paper, which means that he was banned from the Parks indefinitely. Now that it’s been a few days since the situation, he has sat down with his wife and business partner, Hannah Martin, to talk about what really happened.

Christopher and Hannah Martin have made quite a name for themselves in the Disney community. The couple is very polarising when it comes to fans; some love the couple and support their business and Facebook groups. Others feel that they are irresponsible, reckless, and immature. The Walt Disney Company would likely agree with the latter statement.

The Martins own a business called Sparkling Dreamers, where they sell Mickey ears to Disney fans. While it is not illegal to sell Mickey ears, it is illegal to sell anything that is ripping off the intellectual property of Disney. Most other small businesses understand this, but Christopher chooses to ignore Disney’s requests for them to stop selling these products.

Now, Disney is suing the couple and has permanently banned them from both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort.

The couple took to TikTok to share their side of the story and to answer any questions Disney fans have for them. In the video, it is clear that the couple sees themself as the victim in this situation. Hannah Martin expresses that she feels sad about the hateful comments being left about her. Despite being less involved in the company and in the Facebook groups, Hannah is banned as well.

Christopher completely avoids any questions that are actually pressing. Instead, he asks his wife if she is “a mail order bride,” a question that clearly upsets her.

We had tons of questions submitted to us & were starting to anser them. This is part 1. #sparklingdreamers #shopsmallbusiness #shopsmal #fyp #fypシ #fypシ゚viral #business #mouseearslover

Many fans are sticking up for Disney in this situation and supporting their decision to ban the Sparkling Dreamers owners. We will have to wait and see what ends up happening with their legal issues.

TikTok Family Apologizes After They Were Shamed for Viral Disney ‘Hack’

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

The TikTok family ‘The Kelly Fam’ has made a public apology after receiving an overwhelming amount of backlash online. Parents Ty and Haley have been under intense scrutiny for their ‘Disney Hack’ that they shared a couple of weeks ago. In their apology, the couple claims to be deeply sorry and regretful for their actions.

The Kelly Fam used to be known as a wholesome social media family. Their reputation changed dramatically when they posted a video showing a potentially dangerous shoe stunt they had come up with for their son Kannon. In the TikTok video, Ty Kelly explained that their child Kannon loves rollercoasters, but he is too short to ride some of the Disney World rides. To remedy the situation, he and his wife, Haley Kelly, designed and made some platform shoes for Kannon so he could ride the rides anyway. In the family’s YouTube video, they show Kannon riding two 38inch+ Disney World rides, Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Slinky Dog Dash while wearing the modified shoes.

The video went completely viral, and immediately there was public outrage. People slammed the Kelly Fam for being so reckless with their child’s safety. Many were calling for the family to be permanently banned from Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort. In response to the backlash, the family released an apology video which basically was them saying the ‘ultimate theme park hack’ video was a joke. Fans were not satisfied by this answer and continued to call out the irresponsible behavior of the parents.

After all of the hate, the Kelly family finally apologized in a formal manner. The couple sat down with TODAY.com to explain their side of the story.

In their interview, the couple explains, “We are truly sorry about the whole situation… I want my kids to know that parents follow the rules and we are trying to raise them right. In this situation, we bent the rules and I don’t want that to be my legacy.”

He goes on to explain that they never expected the video to blow up as it did and that the whole hack was meant to be clickbait for their YouTube channel. They knew things had gone too far when the fans started trying to interfere with their livelihoods. He explained, “People were trying to get my wife fired from her (nursing) job or saying they would call CPS (Child Protective Services) to get our kids taken away from us or hoping we’d get banned from Disney World.”

@the.kelly.fam

With influence comes responsibility, and we take that seriously. It’s a privilege to have the platforms we do, and we’d NEVER want someone else to get hurt from an idea from one of our videos. With that being said, we’ve decided to take anything down related to the Disney shoe video. We hope that in time, you’ll see that we are serious about the content we put out for the public to see, and we’re committed to being more careful and intentional with our posts moving forward. We want our platforms to feel like home, and a safe place for you to come and unwind, be uplifted, inspired and hopefully entertained. We love you all. #thekellyfam

While some people feel bad for how out of hand this situation became, others think that this apology is still not genuine. Regardless of if the video was clickbait or not, the Kelly family was still definitely promoting dangerous behavior. It is not likely that the family will ever restore the trust that was lost between them and their fans.
