Disneyland is supposed to be The Happiest Place on Earth, full of memorable character meet-and-greets, delicious dining options, super-fun rides and attractions, and stunning nighttime spectaculars. But sadly, there isn’t a special place that adults can’t ruin with their bad behavior. And since the pandemic, it seems that guest behavior has reached an all-time low.
For a while, it seemed that nearly every week, a fight between grown adults was filmed at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort. Guests fought in line, at restaurants, anywhere and everywhere.

A disturbing incident occurred recently in Mickey’s ToonTown at Disneyland, where a fight broke out, leaving children and families as unwilling spectators. Video footage circulated online shows two women shouting obscenities at each other while young children watched in shock.
Witnesses reported that tensions escalated without warning. Observers noted that one woman involved in the fight repeatedly used profanity, further adding to the discomfort of those present. Children, excited to visit Mickey Mouse and ride Gadget’s Go Coaster, instead found themselves in the midst of a public dispute, watching two women try to attack one another.

The fight in Mickey’s ToonTown adds to an alarming trend of increasing violence at Disney parks. Previous incidents have been reported that further emphasize this growing concern, particularly regarding altercations over seating arrangements and even parade viewing spots.
Reports of fights breaking out at various dining locations have emerged, indicating that frustrations among guests often escalate into physical confrontations.
For instance, a recent brawl erupted at Pym’s Test Kitchen in Disney California Adventure Park over table availability. Such incidents highlight the challenges Disney faces in maintaining a peaceful environment amid the pressures of crowded, high-stakes tourism.
Disney implements strict consequences for those involved in fights. Guests found violating the parks’ standards of conduct face being removed from the premises and potential bans from reentering. In serious cases, law enforcement, such as the Anaheim Police Department, may get involved in order to restore order and address any criminal behavior.
The enforcement of security measures at Disney parks has been heightened as a response to the rising number of incidents. Increasing police visibility and engaging security personnel at strategic locations are part of the ongoing effort to mitigate aggressive confrontations.

I hope they got escorted out with a ban forever, No excuse for this behavior
I will never understand why grown adults act like this over a ride or something. They act like kids throwing a tantrum because they can’t have their way. After all the money spent to plan your trip is thrown away and ruined because you can’t keep your temper in check. How childish and very selfish disregarding families with children around to see such immature behavior. I hope they get banned. People like this don’t deserve Disney.
