Fight Breaks Out at Disney Park, Children Witness Carnage in Line

Christmas at the Disney theme parks is meant to be a happy and memorable time. However, for some, their holiday vacation was memorable for all the wrong reasons.

There’s nothing like celebrating the festive season at a Disney resort. From seasonal events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida to the numerous overlays at Disneyland Resort, the United States Disney theme parks welcome guests with a diverse range of offerings.

That said, despite the magic of the Christmas season, the real world can still slip into the Disney bubble, and that is just what happened at Disney California Adventure Park this week. As captured on social media and shared on @foosgonedisney, a physical fight broke out in the line for Radiator Springs Racers, with children nearby.

In the video, a group can be seen physically fighting in line for the e-ticket Disney ride. It is unclear as to why the fight broke out–although line-cutting could be a reason–but numerous people were involved. The video clearly shows one guest in a red shirt being restrained and others on the ground. Just ahead of the sparring families, children–some also filming the scuffle–are ushered further up the line, away from the conflict.

Like the reason for the breakout, it also remains a mystery as to the outcome of the fight. Usually, incidents like these will result in removal from the park, and possibly criminal charges and a lifetime ban. Unfortunately, fights like these are not uncommon at the Disney parks, especially during busy seasons like Christmas and New Year’s.

This year has seen its fair share of altercations, joining some of the most infamous fights on Disney property. It’s not just the domestic parks, either. Last year, guests were rushed into the auditorium at Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris after a line-cutting incident turned into a violent group brawl.
