A Disneyland Resort guest spoke out on social media after witnessing a young guest urinate on a critical part of Dumbo the Flying Elephant, a spinning ride in Fantasyland at Disneyland Park.
Despite ample availability of bathrooms at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, Disney Parks fans often report guests encouraging children to urinate in public places instead of rushing to the toilet.
One parent reportedly encouraged their child to urinate into the Pirates of the Caribbean water rather than waste time once they exited the ride. Another parent advised their child to do the same on Splash Mountain.
Surprisingly, the phenomenon isn't exclusive to young guests. In another viral instance, an adult woman was kicked out of Disneyland Resort after urinating into a cup in public.
Redditor u/idkidc9876 witnessed a boy, around eight, urinating on the small booth where attractions cast members run Dumbo the Flying Elephant at Disneyland Park. Other guests waiting to board the Dumbo (1941) ride alerted Disney cast members after the boy's parents refused to take action.
“People in line around him freaked and got the [cast member]'s attention,” the Disney Park guest wrote. “The guy just could not understand why it was not okay for his child to pull his pants down in line and piss in front of strangers.”
The guest said it was the “weirdest,” “most entitled,” and “grossest” thing they've witnessed at Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park, or Downtown Disney.
“Total assholes,” they concluded.
It's unclear if the family received any consequences for the young boy's actions.
Alert a Disney cast member if you witness inappropriate behavior at the Disney theme parks. They can contact custodial, security, or any other teams necessary to make areas safe for other Disney Park guests and de-escalate tense situations.
Would you intervene in a similar situation at Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World Resort? Let Disney Fanatic know in the comments.
I know it won’t happen, but I truly think that CMs should be authorized to call security when any guest is caught doing this, and have them escorted out of the park, invalidating their tickets for the day. This isn’t a case of a child having an accident; it’s some lowlife telling their kid that it’s ok to act like an animal.
