Disney World is supposed to be the happiest place on earth, but some people seriously have no chill. That was certainly the case with two families who erupted into a massive physical brawl when one refused to move out of the way so the other could take photos together, according to Fox 35.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said that the fight broke out because one of the families wanted to pose in front of the 100th anniversary sign near Magic Kingdom. However, the other family decided they didn’t want to move and refused to do so. That’s when things turned physical.
Police were called to the scene at about 2:30 p.m. on Monday, May 15. By that point, there was a full-blown fight happening, with people being thrown to the ground, punches being thrown, and a whole lot of chaos happening. One person was eventually arrested, and one is said to have needed hospital treatment after all was said and done.

As it turns out, neither family decided to press charges. In fact, it seems they both want bygones to be bygones and were happy to let it slide. However, both families were kicked out of Disney World over the fight, and it’s likely they probably won’t be allowed back in the future. Disney World hasn’t commented on the situation.
Of course, this isn’t the first time a brawl has broken out at Disney parks. Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland California saw a huge fight happen back in 2019 when a woman allegedly spat in a man’s face during a fight. In 2022, a massive 10-person fight erupted in front of Mickey’s PhilharMagic Theatre and ended with two people in cuffs.
Theme parks, especially Disney ones, are supposed to be fun and carefree, not places for people to get violent. Can’t we all just get along? (Apparently not!)
