A father has been slammed on social media for his juvenile behavior while at Disney World.

Guests behaving badly at any Disney Park is unfortunately not new. While one might hope that certain decorum would be followed by any who visit these theme parks, that isn’t always the case. Often times, people appear to lack consideration for other guests and, sometimes, their own family members when they’re at Disney.

Father Slammed Online for Berating Son at Disney World

One type of incident that is particularly frustrating is when parents or adults behave badly. In fact, unfortunately, more often than not, that is the kind of incident that makes headlines.

Recently, one guest who was on a Disney vacation took to Reddit to share an incident of bad behavior from adults.

The guest explained, “Here at Hollywood studios and a grown ass man dressed up like a Jedi and his son dressed as a Padawan yelled at his kid saying “ dont ruin this for me “ shame on you sir. You just ruined it for your kid. With your ugly behavior. Rant over and back to my beer”

As one might imagine, yelling at your own child for “ruining” your Disney vacation isn’t quite the move, and many in the comments agreed with this take.

One guest shared, “Sigh… I’ve heard that line ‘you are ruining this’ from adults yelling at their kids so many times…”

Another wrote, “It’s awful how many times I heard this on our last trip. It’s horrible. I have also seen some parents do some amazing parenting skills. Friendly reminder that while WDW is magical, it can be hard for children to keep up with adults.”

A third guest even shared a shocking anecdote of a similar experience that they witnessed, wherein a little girl wanted to stay and listen to a zookeeper at Animal Kingdom, and the mother wouldn’t let her:

Saw a little girl wanting to listen to a zookeeper talking about the animals at Animal Kingdom at rope drop years ago (you know, kinda the point of the park and something that might actually impact the kid’s life for years to come) but the mom wouldn’t let her. “You’ve got to have PRIORITIES!” as she dragged her off to queue for Flight of Passage, a screen ride showing fake animals in what is essentially an upgraded/more sophisticated Soarin’ ride system.

What do you think of this situation? Have you ever witnessed anything like this while at the Disney Parks? Let us know in the comments!
