Disneyland Resort guests were left stunned last week when a man, who appeared to have soiled himself, was seen walking around Disneyland Park wearing white sweatpants visibly stained with what many assumed to be poop.
The incident gained widespread attention after Instagram user @sickandwrongpodcast posted a video of the guest, writing, “I was wondering what that smell was and looked up and saw this…Wrong day to wear white brother.” The clip quickly racked up views and comments, sparking fierce debate online about the man’s decision to remain in the park despite his condition.

The video shows the man freely moving throughout the Southern California theme park, potentially coming into contact with countless guest areas. Though there’s no confirmation he boarded any Disney Park attractions, the optics alone raised concerns about hygiene and guest safety.
“Just gross,” @themeparkpintopia said. “I feel bad for the guy. But how many surfaces did he contaminate with this?”
Another user, @maui___max, added, “Imagine taking his seat after he gets off a ride.. now you both have doodoo on your shorts.”
Unsurprisingly, the graphic footage stirred a range of reactions. Some were quick to condemn the guest for not seeking help. Others showed empathy, questioning the decision to record and post the footage.
“Poor guy!” said @nisi_taylor. “Not funny when it happens to you. When it’s time, it’s time!”
“Man! I know this is IG but, I feel sorry for bro. He lost the battle. Dang….,” @not_your_average_pp commented.
Bodily fluid contamination has become an increasingly visible issue at Disney Parks in recent months. In March, a separate post described a fecal mess left on the wall inside the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind queue at EPCOT. That same month, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel at Magic Kingdom Park and Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! at Disney California Adventure Park temporarily closed due to similar contamination reports. One guest even claimed to find fecal matter in their Disney Resort hotel room at check-in.
Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort maintain First Aid centers throughout the parks, where guests experiencing medical emergencies or unexpected issues can receive support. Disney cast members, particularly those in custodial roles, are trained to handle biohazard situations with professional-grade cleaning products and safety protocols.
Guests who encounter biohazards should report them immediately to a Disney cast member. Quick reporting helps ensure proper cleanup and prevents further contamination.

I find recently that Disney is all about the dollar 💵 I have been disabled since I was 15. Severe neurological issues and cognitive. Not to mention spinal stenosis.
You changed your rules regarding “disability” yet someone can walk around with feces on who knows what he went on or contaminated?? I am very disappointed in the Disney company. I will think twice about renewing my pass
