Credit: DisneyA Disneyland Resort guest called two strangers “heroes” for helping her mother after an injury. The mother-daughter duo was headed to a backstage tour at Disneyland Park when an accident changed their plans.
Jennifer (u/Extension_Coyote_967 on Reddit) got in line to check into the 11:00 a.m. tour while her mother waited outside on Main Street, U.S.A. Shortly after the pair separated, her mother fell and couldn’t get up. Two men stepped in when they saw the panicked woman and helped her onto a nearby bench.
“She broke her foot and got scratched up, but she is ok,” the guest wrote. “If you are one of the two that swooped in and helped my mother, thank you so very much.”
Jennifer credited the two men with calming her mother down until she returned.
“They were true heroes,” she said. “It scared her when she couldn’t get up.”
This isn’t the first injury at Disneyland Park in recent months. In November, wind blew a light pole over and onto two guests, seriously injuring one of them. She was rushed to a local hospital and later released. After the incident, cast members rushed to secure similar structures throughout Disneyland Park, Downtown Disney, and Disney California Adventure Park.
