We’ve seen some truly shocking stuff happen at the Disney theme parks. From arguments and fistfights to accidents and lawsuits, pretty much anything that could happen has happened at Walt Disney World.
No matter how hard Disney tries to ensure that the parks remain a family-friendly place where guests of all ages can explore and have fun, something is always bound to go wrong, even at “The Most Magical Place on Earth.”
The Disney parks and resorts all have their own rules and regulations that guests are expected to follow, but sometimes guests choose to disregard these rules, breaking them in unprecedented ways.
Below are some of the craziest things Disney guests have done in the last few years, but please be warned, some content is NSFW.

With Disney World being called “The Most Magical Place on Earth,” you’d expect this to be the last place that violent fistfights and brawls break out.
Unfortunately, you would be wrong, as multiple altercations have occurred over the last few years. A major altercation broke out at the entrance of Magic Kingdom in 2023, leaving guests bruised and bloody. The video went viral on social media, showing the unbelievable sight right in front of hundreds of other park visitors.
In the summer of 2022, a massive fistfight broke out in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, garnering national coverage due to its intensity.
Another fight broke out in the Tomorrowland section of Magic Kingdom, though this ended a lot sooner than the previous example.
While it may be hard to believe, we’ve seen several guests take off their clothes while visiting the Disney parks and resorts, too. One of the most shocking examples involves the Skyliner at Walt Disney World.
Guests can choose to ride one of the dozens of buses across the resort, but they can also travel in more interesting ways. If guests are waiting to visit EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, certain hotels offer a boat service to these theme parks.
Of course, there is also the Monorail, which is Disney’s most iconic and infamous mode of transportation. This “futuristic” train ride can be found at several Disney parks, allowing visitors to travel in style. However, Disney’s Skyliner is the most efficient way to get around, taking guests to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios in sky-high buckets.
One guest decided to travel on Disney World’s Skyliner in quite a “unique” way, taking off their top and flashing their bare chest to other guests who passed them by. Aside from this being illegal, it’s also against Walt Disney World rules and could’ve resulted in a total ban from the resort.
The video went viral on social media, prompting outrage from Disney guests and fans alike.
This topic will transition quite nicely with the next one: wardrobe choices. While most of the Disney parks rules may be in place to ensure the resorts remain safe for all guests, Disney still expects fans and guests to wear appropriate clothing while having fun.
Believe it or not, guests also break these rules on the daily, wearing some ludicrously-revealing outfits. This is a popular topic of discussion for Disney park fans and guests, as well as the general public.
Social media sites have exponentially increased the frequency of these situations, with some guests seeking out attention and clout. One guest shared a video that was very in-your-face, dancing suggestively in front of others.
The incident took place in Disney Springs, with the guest dropping to the floor and shaking their rear end in front of guests, some of which appeared to be young children. This is, of course, extremely against Disney’s rules and could’ve easily resulted in a ban from Disney Springs or even the Walt Disney World Resort entirely.
To make matters worse, the guest was wearing a bikini bottom, leaving nothing to the imagination. The video only lasted a few seconds but left a major impact on the Disney parks community and the general public.
If guests happen to break Disney’s dress code rules, they are typically given a voucher that allows them to buy replacement clothes for them to wear at the parks. This is an incredibly nice gesture by Disney, but some guests have taken advantage of it, wearing clothes that would require them to change on purpose, thus receiving clothes for free.
To wrap things up, let’s take a look a different type of malfunction. One of the most viral examples actually happened at Disneyland Paris in Chessy, France, where a Disney cast member accidentally interrupted a sweet proposal moment in front of the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle.
The video shows a man on his knees in front of his partner, proposing to her in front of thousands of other guests. Then suddenly, an employee appears and tells them they have to stop and move off of the stage.
As reported by Newsweek, the original video claimed that a friend “actually asked a female co-worker” if proposing on the platform was OK. “The woman gave him permission, this POS ran up to him and [took] the ring,” the poster said.
