If nothing else, it’s nice to have some Disney-themed chaos that does not involve America’s Governor Ron DeSantis. No, this is just a good ol’ fashioned line dispute where two families turned Fantasyland into an all-out brawl with fists and mouse-ear hats flying this way and that.
If you are oldhead enough like me to remember the band Ugly Kid Joe, play “Madman Loose in Disneyland” in the background for added enjoyment.
The incident begins online for Mickey’s PhilharMagic, a music concert starring Mickey, Donald Duck, and a few others. One girl left her phone somewhere and went to go get it while her family stayed in line. When the girl returned, a family behind her family wouldn’t let her through. Her family waited outside for the other family for the performance.
“We don’t appreciate you guys pushing my younger sister.”
At which point, sh*t was on-sight.
Screaming led to pushing. Pushing led to punches. Punches led to all-out pandemonium. A real slobber knocker, as Western philosopher Jim Ross would say. There were injuries. One man was hospitalized with his face cut open. Three people were arrested. Even worse, the families were kicked out before they got to ride Space Mountain.
The only heroes in this are the people who took out their smartphones. They got some amazing content.
As of this writing, neither family has been signed for a rematch on former-Disney star Jake Paul’s next boxing spectacle. But there is still time.
