Only at Disneyland, folks…
A wild — and frankly disturbing — scene went down Friday night (April 12) at Disneyland Park, and it had nothing to do with any of the rides. Guests hanging out in New Orleans Square suddenly found themselves in the middle of some serious madness… courtesy of a naked man who lost his mind in front of hundreds of families.
“He’s Naked. Like… Fully Naked.”
According to a now-viral Reddit post from user LAZERPANDA15, they were just enjoying a regular evening at the park when things went sideways — fast. Guests were being warned not to bring kids near the area, and parts of River Belle Terrace were being evacuated.
Disneytitan posted the video which you can see below, but just be warned that there isn’t any censoring.

Why? Because a grown man was allegedly strutting around in his birthday suit — right there in New Orleans Square.
“There was a man who had taken off all of his clothes and was walking around the area naked,” the Redditor wrote. “Disney security created a barrier as they struggled to get the man under control.”
Yeah… not your average day at The Happiest Place on Earth.
From the Sidestreet to the Rooftop
The same witness said the man popped out of a side street and wasn’t going quietly. At one point, he scaled a tree, still fully naked, and seemed completely detached from reality.
“I couldn’t stop staring,” the poster said. “But that is when my spouse said, ‘Hey, you gotta stop staring. Our kid is going to see this. Let’s go.’”
That kid reportedly didn’t see the guy — but hundreds of others definitely did.
Then It Got Even Weirder…
The man somehow managed to climb on top of Tiana’s Palace, the newly-opened restaurant themed after The Princess and the Frog, and started shouting down at the stunned crowd.
According to Instagram comments about the incident:
“Was waiting in line for the train. Turned around and saw a nude man flailing everything on top of Tiana’s,” one person said.
“He climbed up the stairs then walked along to roof, then was on the canopy,” another added.
And get this… he wasn’t just streaking. He was screaming.
One person recalled him yelling:
“I AM EXPOSING MYSELF TO EXPOSE…”
The rest of the sentence was lost in the chaos, but it clearly wasn’t just a stunt. One guest wrote:
“He started talking about sexual violence and that he was going to hurt himself and it scared her kid a LOT.”
Unsurprisingly, Disney security and undercover officers rushed to take control of the situation. The man was eventually brought down and removed from the property.
Cuffed and Booked
TMZ-style sources (aka, real police) confirmed the man was indeed arrested.
Anaheim PD told ABC7 that the guy — a Canadian citizen — was taken into custody for trespassing, public nudity, and being under the influence of narcotics.
No one was injured, but let’s just say the mental scarring for some of those kids might take longer to wear off than the effects of Space Mountain.
Not Disneyland’s First Naked Nightmare
Believe it or not, this is not the first time a man has stripped down at Disneyland.
Back in late November 2023, another guy jumped naked into the “it’s a small world” ride — yeah, that one — and took a leisurely walk through the scenes while guests watched in horror. He even sat down mid-ride like it was a park bench before cops finally tracked him down and dragged him out.
He was charged with public indecency and being under the influence too.
After that, security was beefed up around Fantasyland. Might be time to do the same for New Orleans Square.
Lifetime Ban Incoming?
Many people on social media say they’re pretty sure this latest dude is done for. Disneyland has a strict policy against disruptive and dangerous behavior, and when it involves nudity and rooftops… yeah, you’re probably never coming back.
And yes, Disney does hand out lifetime bans — especially for this kind of incident. With minors in the area, it’s not just inappropriate — it’s illegal.
So there you have it. One minute you’re grabbing beignets in New Orleans Square… the next, you’re staring at a fully nude Canadian man climbing a roof and yelling about “exposing” himself. Disneyland: come for the magic, stay for the chaos.
