For some reason, whenever a guest at a Disney park sees water, they feel the need to jump into it, even though most of the water at these theme parks is only decorative. We’ve seen guests putting their feet in fountains on a hot day at Walt Disney World, jumping into the lagoon at EPCOT, and jumping off Tom Sawyer Island into the water.

Most guests violating Disney World or Disneyland Park rules are immediately trespassed from the property and will likely be banned for life. So, no matter how many clicks they get for their stunt, they won’t be allowed back into Disney World or Disneyland.
But of all the stunts that guests have tried in the past, no one has ever snuck into an attraction so that they could take a video with the animatronics. Now, someone has accomplished that feat.
Instagram user @joneshousing broke into Rivers of America at the Disneyland Resort to take a short video at the Native American Village on the ride. In the video, which is less than 10 seconds long, someone asked one of the animatronics in the Native American Village if “that food is almost done.”
The video abruptly cuts off, which means that Disneyland security must have seen them and quickly removed them from the Disney Park. And that will be followed by a banishment from Disneyland and the Disney California Adventure Park for life.
Rivers of America was an opening day attraction at Disneyland. Guests can get on the Mark Twain Riverboat, Sailing Ship Columbia, or Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes for a trip through four of America’s great rivers: the Mississippi, the Columbia, the Missouri, and the Rio Grande.
Rivers of America has changed throughout the years, including being the home of Fantasmic, which has been on hiatus since a fire occurred during the show. However, Disneyland announced that the nighttime spectacular will return on May 24, 2024.
But for the guests who trespassed in the Native American Village on Rivers of America, they won’t be seeing Fantasmic or any other Disneyland attraction anytime soon. Instead, they’ll be heading to Disney jail, and the food is probably not ready yet.
