Family Goes Rogue, Stops Moving Disney Parade as Thousands of Guests Watch

A Disneyland Resort parade was unexpectedly halted this week by a family causing a “traffic jam” on Main Street, U.S.A. A viral video, posted to TikTok, captures the family of Disney ducks interrupting the Magic Happens Parade as it made its way through Disneyland Park.

TikTok user @keri.bestdayevervacays posted the video, which shows a mother duck leading her ducklings directly into the parade’s path. The user described the family as “entitled” and joked that they had “no regard for anyone else.”

“They showed up. Took over. Blocked the entire parade,” the TikToker wrote. “Even cast members had to step in and gently guide them along. I’ve never seen entitlement so bold… or so adorable.”

They showed up. Took over. Blocked the entire parade. Even cast members had to step in and gently guide them along. I’ve never seen entitlement so bold… or so adorable.

In the video, the parade, which features a Coco (2017) float, has to come to a halt while dancers, puppeteers, and Disney characters continue to entertain guests. The ducks, who appear to have no concern for the parade’s timing, make their way slowly down the street, bringing everything to a standstill.

Disney cast members, always prepared for Disneyland Resort’s famous wildlife, quickly sprang into action, gently guiding the ducks to the sidewalk and eventually into a grassy area behind a fence. All the ducklings made it safely, and the Magic Happens Parade resumed shortly thereafter.

Disney Parks fans were charmed by the video, which quickly gained more than 10,000 likes and comments. The playful interruption had viewers laughing, with many making light-hearted jokes about the ducks’ boldness.

“I could never!” @leslieevillegas20 joked. “Imagine being at Disney with all those kids.”

“When I grow up I want to be the professional Duck control person at Disney,” said @sweet.escapes.wit.

Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort are home to a variety of wildlife, including ducks, which have long been part of the charm and magic of the parks. While it’s always fun to spot these feathered friends, Disney reminds guests to keep a safe distance and avoid feeding them.
