Ever since the theme parks reopened after the COVID-19 pandemic, things have seemed very different at Disney theme parks. Disney has tried its best to get things back to the wonderful normal that Guests used to know, but unfortunately, they just aren’t there. Sure, mask mandates are gone, social distancing is not enforced, and character dining is back. However, Guests are still not thrilled with the reservation system and Park Hopping restrictions in place, and the general mood seems to not be where it was before the pandemic.
Sadly, one thing that seems to be more prominent than ever is bad Guest behavior. There are always guaranteed to be issues when you put thousands of people who have paid a lot of money in one area and then tell them to wait in long lines under a hot sun. But behavior at Disney theme parks looks like it has reached an all-time low. It appears that nearly every week, we are hearing about another Guest that has acted in an appalling manner while visiting Disney.
And today is another one of those days.
TikToker Paris Divi (@parisdivi) was visiting Tomorrowland in Walt Disney World Resort’s Magic Kingdom Park. While there, they saw three men yelling and cursing at each other in front of the Tomorrowland Speedway attraction. They were also walking aggressively toward one another and making motions like they wanted to fight. Then, the inevitable happened. One began throwing punches and an all-out brawl ensued.

Thankfully, the fight did not last long, as a Cast Member — who was trying to keep himself safe — was there to tell the trio to break it up. The person who shared the video did not share why the fight started in the first place. There is also a woman screaming what sounds like “Let’s go!” off camera. We don’t know if she knew one of the people involved or if she was yelling at them to stop fighting.
At this time, we do not know what happened after the theme park fight ended. However, Disney has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to fighting on its property. Since so many people saw the fight, it is likely that Disney World security was alerted to the incident. If the men were found, they were most likely escorted from the Park and will be issued lifetime bans.
Regrettably, this is not the first time that this has happened at Walt Disney World Resort. Most recently, a massive brawl broke out in front of the train station at the Magic Kingdom. The fight included more than half a dozen people, and Cast Members had to clean the blood off the ground. There have also been fights on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and at EPCOT. Not long ago, a female Guest was kicked out of EPCOT for climbing out of her ride vehicle and screaming at Guests while she was highly intoxicated.
Guests are quick to call out the problematic theme park people, as they want them banned from the Parks, so they can’t ruin anyone else’s experience.
