Disney cast members kicked a popular YouTuber off a Disney California Adventure Park attraction after he behaved crudely and obnoxiously in front of children.
Social media content creators are a contentious topic among Disney Parks fans. Many find influencer behavior disruptive and feel uncomfortable with the constant filming of other Disney Parks guests.
Tokyo Disney Resort effectively banned most live streaming and vlogging in 2022; fans have asked Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort to do the same.
Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disneyland Park, and Disney California Adventure Park haven’t followed suit. However, they have tightened filming rules for certain attractions and given cast members more authority over unruly guests.

On Monday, vlogger Willito shared this video of himself behaving inappropriately on Grizzly River Run on his YouTube Channel, which has over 300,000 subscribers. Cast members removed him from the Disneyland Resort ride in front of his party, which included multiple minors.
As Willito and his party approached the boarding area, he began screaming about “getting wet.” His party members looked embarrassed as he made innuendos about the water ride.
Once on board the raft, he screamed, “Somebody smells like sh*t!” and pointed at the Disney cast member who helped his party.
“If you want to play like that, we can kick you out,” the Disney cast member replied.
“It’s a song; it’s a song,” Willito replied. His party members giggled.
Shortly after, another Disney cast member approached and told the YouTuber that he couldn’t ride Grizzly River Run. His other party members, including children, were allowed to stay on board.
“I’m sorry, sir,” the employee said. “We cannot accept that. Step out of the ride. The rest of your party can, but we’re going to have you step off.”
“It’s just us now,” one of Willito’s party members said after he was kicked off the Disney Park attraction. “Willito wanted to be funny, so that’s what he gets.”
The group met up after they finished riding Grizzly River Run.
“Alright, guys, I took an L [Loss], but hopefully, we make that L into a W [Win],” Willito said. “That was embarrassing. They didn’t protect me.”

“How do we defend that?” one of his group members said.
Willito cooperated with Disney cast members and didn’t face further consequences from Disneyland Resort security.
Always follow Disney cast members’ instructions and adhere to the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort rules. Security can remove misbehaving guests from the theme park without offering refunds.
