While Walt Disney World Resort is largely considered a top vacation destination for families, it can also be a great place for couples looking for a romantic getaway. Disney World has a ton of great options for those looking to celebrate their love. There are wonderful hotel options like Animal Kingdom Lodge or Polynesian Village Resort. Then, there are great dining options and even spa packages.
One of the top places for a romantic Disney getaway is Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The gorgeous hotel lies on the edge of Seven Seas Lagoon, right across from the Magic Kingdom.
At the Grand Floridian, guests can dine at upscale spots like Narcoossee’s, Citricos, and Victoria & Albert’s. Then there is the Grand Floridian Spa and some nearby golf courses. And, of course, we can’t forget about the theme parks – Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
It is always a great time when you can enjoy some relaxation and fun with your significant other. However, it is also important to know how to behave when surrounded by families and young children. And one couple apparently forgot that they weren’t in their own personal bubble where no one could see them.
Redditor u/icegirl223 asked users on the platform what the most disturbing things they have seen at the parks or at a Disney hotel. She then told a story about some truly disturbing behavior she saw while staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
I was in the Grand Floridian pool a few years ago pretty late at night with all my mainly adult cousins and extended family. We had some teens and the youngest cousin was like 8.
We were staying one of the buildings (wont say which bc we always stay there every time we go although I haven’t been in like four years.)
So we put our bathing suits on and we meet in the lobby before heading to the pool. We notice there were two teenagers just handheld gaming in the lobby making themselves comfy on the couches in the building we were staying in (separate from the main building). These weren’t like young teens either they had facial hair and were like probably 16 and 18. We thought okay that’s weird like why don’t they hang out in the room being that it’s late at night.
Anyway, we were the only ones in the pool. It was like 11:30 or so we had done extra magic hours and wanted to hang out for a bit and chill. We would wake up late and go to the parks mainly in the evenings to avoid heat and crowds
We were having fun talking and tossing a ball around until we see hear strange noises coming from the hot tub. We peak over bc it’s kind of hard to see when you’re in the pool and there are two people going at it in the hot tub making lots of noises.
My sister runs to the main lobby to alert security. The Disney security/hotel staff drives this little cart over to the hot tub and ask them to leave. We see these people go to the lobby of the building, collect their teens and leave the property. Turns out they were not even guests of the hotel and they dropped their older kids off in the lobby to have sex in the hot tub. Lol
I never understood why disney doesn’t require hotel keys or bands for those pools and monitor them or close them after a certain time. Especially at their most luxurious hotel. Maybe things have changed post covid but idk
The most disturbing thing you’ve seen at the hotels or parks?
byu/icegirl223 inWaltDisneyWorld
Icegirl223 was shocked and disappointed that two adults would drag their children to a hotel that they were not staying at, just so they could engage in sexual intercourse at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel.
Her fellow Redditors were also appalled at the behavior of so-called adults. They also shared some of their own horror stories. Sadly, many of the stories involved adults acting in an abusive manner towards their significant other and, sometimes, even children.
I was leaving Animal Kingdom and this guy was screaming SCREAMING abusive things to his girlfriend while she was pushing a baby stroller. An entire crowd of people was just casually watching as this abusive jerkwad was calling her every name under the sun. I stopped and asked if she was okay, and she said she was but something still didn’t sit right with me.
I found a security officer and let him know what was happening before me and the rest of my party went on to the busses. A few minutes later I see this grandma lady holding the baby from the stroller while security tells him HIS ticket is being revoked with no refund. The girlfriend is crying. The last I saw was him screaming and a few more security officers showing up.

It should be noted that having intercourse is not specifically stated as against the rules on the Walt Disney World Resort website. However, it does say that guests may not engage in “unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behavior.” The state of Florida does have laws against what is considered “indecent exposure”, and if what the Redditor says is true, then those two people were definitely breaking the law.

Unfortunately, this is just another example of grown people appearing to forget how to act in public or while at Disney World. Guest behavior has been getting increasingly worse since the pandemic. It seems that there are constantly fights breaking out at Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, and even at Disneyland Paris.
Please note that Disney does not take this kind of behavior lightly. Disney security will be quick to act and remove problematic guests. They may then be banned for a set amount of time. Should their behavior be particularly egregious — like having sex in a hotel hot tub — Disney reserves the right to ban the visitors permanently. If a guest is issued a trespass notice, they will be unable to visit any Disney property, not just the one they were kicked out of.
