While Walt Disney World Resort is The Most Magical Place on Earth, conflicts between Guests can make some moments not-so-magical. This was a case for one TikTok creator and his friend.
In the video, the Guest explains that he was at Disney with a couple friends and his brother when they noticed Stitch setting up for a meet-and-greet. He and his friend Cody had to cross a busy pathway to get to Stitch:
There’s a lady on a scooter making her way downtown, strolling fast, and she skirts right by me, fast! She almost hit me; I backed off, like woah! I turn to Cody and I go, ‘Oh my God, did you see that? She almost hit me.’ Then I’m like, ‘Cody? Cody?’

At this point, the Guest notices that Cody is missing. He turns his head and sees Cody being dragged along by the scooter while the Guest on the ECV refuses to stop, in fact waving and yelling for Cody to “Move out of the way!”
ECVs, also known as Electric Conveyance Vehicles, are powered scooters that help Guests with disabilities get around the Disney Parks. They’re available for rent from Walt Disney World Resort and third-party services in the Orlando, Florida area:
