A day at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, is a magical experience, but it can also be exhausting for young kids. One viral video recently captured this all-too-relatable moment as a parent navigates the end of a long day at the Disney park with an exhausted toddler in tow.
The TikTok video, shared by @kynslischwenke, shows a dad gently dragging his limp toddler by the jacket as they make their way out of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. After a fun-filled day of rides, characters, and excitement, this little one had clearly reached their limit, allowing their dad to pull them along by the jacket.

“This is how my husband had to drag our 2nd child out of Disneyland last night,” the mother wrote in the video caption, adding, “Those second babies be DIFFERENT.” The scene struck a chord with parents everywhere who know the struggle of leaving the “Happiest Place on Earth” with kids who just aren’t ready to go.
The video quickly went viral, amassing over 1.3 million views and more than 250,000 likes, as viewers couldn’t help but laugh at the honest, unfiltered look at family life. The toddler, while exhausted, appears calm and content, going along with the moment as her dad drags her out of the park.
While many viewers found the video endearing, others took to the comments to share their own thoughts, sparking a bit of debate about parenting styles. Some Disney Parks fans saw it as a funny and relatable parenting moment, while others questioned the method. The mother eventually turned off comments.
Whether you’re a fan of Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort, the scene is one that many Disney parents can relate to. The magic may be endless, but sometimes, kids reach their limit before the day is done.
