Disney4me Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Disneyland is “The Happiest Place on Earth”…for most people. Disneyland For some, the Disneyland experience can turn ugly if they let it. While the Resort offers plenty of world-class attractions, delicious eats, exciting entertainment, and a ridiculous amount of nostalgia, it’s likely you’ll run into adversity a few times during your visit. Long lines, unforeseen closures and cancellations, and bad behavior from other guests can put a damper on the positive vibes real fast. We’ve been visiting the Disneyland Resort for decades, and over the years, we’ve kinda seen everything when it comes to guest behavior. From understandable agitation to literal anarchic chaos, there are tons of Disneyland horror stories that make for great lessons. Line Cutting One of the most common forms of “bad behavior” we experience on many of our visits to Disneyland comes in the form of line-cutting. Haunted Mansion in Disneyland! We’re not talking small children wandering just a bit too far and all of a sudden the toddler behind you is in front of you. Kids will be kids and getting a little excited is not indicative of bad behavior. Instead, we’re referencing adults that either lose focus of their place in line or intentionally try to move up and hope they can do it without confrontation. Long souvenir line! On more than one occasion, we’ve noticed adults breathing down our necks. Then all of a sudden,n they’re standing next to you. Then you blink and somehow they’re in front of you in line. We understand that this can happen unintentionally, as it’s easy to get lost in your own world when you’re standing in a long line. All we ask is that you respect others’ personal space as well as the general queue rules. Folks Touching Things They Aren’t Supposed To The Disney Parks have become more and more interactive over the years. And no, this doesn’t apply to things like the “Do Not Pull Rope!” sign in the Indiana Jones Adventure queue (you should ABSOLUTELY pull that rope for a hilarious easter egg). Instead, we’re referencing the times when kids and adults alike have crossed barriers to grab something or stuck their hands out of ride vehicles. Indiana Jones Adventure ride in Disneyland We’ve seen kids and adults jump over ropes to take pictures next to props or put their hands where they don’t belong, like in the Pirates of the Caribbean water or on set pieces in the Fantasyland dark rides. We’ve even seen people get BANNED from Disneyland for doing such things. Pirates of the Caribbean Auction Scene ©Disney We want to use these stories as a reminder that Disneyland has “no touching” rules for safety reasons (there is dangerous tech below the waters on Pirates of the Caribbean, for example), so you should absolutely follow all the rules for the smoothest and most pleasant experience possible. And don’t worry! There are plenty of interactive opportunities all over the Disneyland Resort if you feel the need to get hands-on! PDA Taken Too Far Visiting Disneyland can be very romantic when you do it with a partner. In fact, we recommend having a date night there at least once! With that in mind, there is such a thing as too much PDA…and we’re not talking about kisses and holding hands. Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion We’ve seen some folks (mostly teens) get a little too comfortable on dark rides, thinking that no one is watching them. Remember, someone is always watching you: Disney Cast Members, on-ride cameras, other guests, and your conscience, Jiminy Cricket, are always watching. So if you think you’re going to get away with some hanky panky, forget about it. Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride Most importantly, the Disneyland Resort is a public space that caters to CHILDREN. Taking PDA too far here is SUPER ILLEGAL and will get you in a lot more trouble than just a Disney ban… People Getting Naked At Disneyland If we had a quarter for every time someone broke the internet by getting naked and disrupting life at Disneyland over the last few years, we’d have two quarters. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s wild that it’s happened TWICE. “it’s a small world” in Disneyland In 2023, a 26-year-old man was arrested after stripping down and wandering through “it’s a small world”. Something similar happened in April 2025 when a 38-year-old man was arrested after also exposing himself in New Orleans Square and climbing Tiana’s Palace. Tiana’s Palace in Disneyland These incidents are reminders that the Disneyland walls don’t always keep out all of the real problems people face every day. Physical and Verbal Altercations We’re not going to sugarcoat it…sometimes visiting the Disney Parks can be stressful. Long lines, heavy foot traffic, tired and agitated children, and other inconveniences are inevitable, so it’s understandable that people get frustrated and may lash out. Disneyland can get busy What’s not okay is allowing your frustration to manifest into abuse. We’ve seen guests get into altercations with Cast Members and each other. And while folks out here may have that “California, laid-back, tie-dyed” reputation, it’s not uncommon to see people get testy when the straw finally breaks the camel’s back. Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland It’s important to remove yourself from toxic situations, take a second to collect yourself, enjoy what you can, and willingly let things go that ultimately don’t matter. Remember, you’re visiting Disneyland for a good time, not for a fight. Another important note is that when conflict arises with Disney Cast Members, treating them with respect and understanding will ALWAYS yield better results.
