The Disney Parks are supposed to be a place for families to enjoy the magic together. Recently, we have seen more and more strange videos featuring crazy behaviors from guests while visiting Disney Parks. Today, another one of these strange videos surfaced from Disneyland Park.
“it’s a small world”
Today, guests enjoying the iconic “it’s a small world” attraction in Disneyland Park got more than just the traditional slow-moving boat ride.
A male guest on the ride took off his shirt and managed to begin walking around the attraction. Fellow riders caught the guests on camera as it hit social media quickly.
In the video, the young male sits in the reflection pond before the Taj Mahal. He then gets up and starts to walk around, making his way through the ride and glancing into different areas.

Those in other areas of the ride caught the “show” from a different point of view. It seems he might have lost more of his clothes by the time the guest made his way past those outside the ride.

Poor Guests Behavior
This isn’t the first time, or probably the last time, we have seen poor behavior by guests at a Disney Park.
News stories continue to break around guests choosing to make not-so-great decisions while visiting Walt Disney World or Disneyland.
From trying to sneak illegal items, such as alcohol, into the parks to trying to sneak kids into the park, we have seen some guests heading to Disney make poor choices.
Guests have been removed from parks for having selfie sticks, which are not allowed, to having guns hidden inside their diaper bags.
Unfortunately, this incident isn’t the first time someone has disrupted an iconic attraction. We have also seen guests jumping out of boats on Pirates of the Caribbean and waking through the water.
Even though Disney works hard each day to bring magic to guests, recent guests’ behavior seems to be challenging that goal.
“it’s a small world” in Disneyland Park
This iconic attraction opened in 1966, taking guests worldwide in a slow-moving boat ride. Called “The Happiest Cruise That Ever Sailed,” “it’s a small world” features over 300 audio-animatronics dolls representing children worldwide.
The classic song focuses on world peace and is sung in the native language as guests enjoy traveling from country to country.
The ride is full of Disney history. The iconic Mary Blair and Alice Davis collaborated to bring the ride to life for the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair. Davis and her husband sewed over 300 costumes for the ride with authentic materials from each region.
Although the ride has received some updates over the years, including the debut of characters from beloved Disney and Pixar films, the overall message and history of the ride remain.
We hope that all guests at Disney Parks worldwide enjoy the magic “it’s a small world” brings.
