When visiting any of the Disney parks and resorts, it is easy to expect everything to go as perfectly as possible. However, this can be far from the reality, with rides being shut down, food being lackluster, or even a parade float getting stuck right in the middle of a Disney park.

A years-old video posted to TikTok caught a parade traveling through Disneyland coming to a halt, forcing cast members to improvise and keep the show going.

As you can see in the video, the parade float carrying Elsa from Frozen got stuck during the middle of the show, forcing the cast members and surrounding characters to improvise and keep the show going. This goes to show just how committed Disney’s employees can be.

This is hardly the only time we’ve seen a Disney park parade shut down mid-show, though this situation is quite rare. For 99% of the time, guests can expect silky smooth performances of incredible parades throughout the day at places like Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

The parks all have their own nighttime events too, with some of the most popular shows being Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom and Luminous: The Symphony of Us at EPCOT. Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland Resort also offer Fantasmic!, a “fantastic” nighttime show filled with music, fireworks, and classic Disney characters.

Of course, the main draw of the Disney theme parks are their vast collection of classic dark rides and thrilling roller coasters, though three’s all kinds of incredible live entertainment to be found too.

When at Disney world, Luke will probably be found eating with his favorite animatronic, Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. When not at Disney World, Luke will probably be found defending Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe to people who claim "there are better restaurants"
