“He didn’t have to do any thrusting lol,” @mc_valles agreed.
After months of online virality, Disneyland Resort allegedly caught wind of Woody’s infamy. Jessica Bell (@wanderlandjess) called attention to the change on December 22 with this clip:
@wanderlandjess If you’ve seen some of the other videos you know what I am talking about. Lol. #disneyland #woodypony #woody #toystory #parad
Woody rocked back and forth on the toy horse but avoided kicking, slapping his legs, or “thrusting.”
“People don’t realize the CHOKEHOLD woody had on mom’s of millenial children,” @basil_and_obsidian commented. “They were THURSTY and he was their fountain.”
“Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed, I looked over at my husband like ‘he riding that pony like genuwine’ lmao,” @abster_babee wrote.

It’s unknown if Disneyland Resort forced Woody to tone down his dancing or if another entertainment cast member just performed the role differently.
A Christmas Fantasy Parade is performed daily at Disneyland Park during the holiday season. Check the entertainment schedule for the most up-to-date showtimes.
