Disney Guests Under Fire After Allegedly Abandoning Baby Outside Ride

A shocking video circulating on TikTok has left Disneyland Resort fans outraged after a couple reportedly abandoned their baby in a stroller to ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout! without them.

The viral footage, posted by @keesha4rank, claims to show the parents parking their child’s stroller outside the attraction before heading inside to experience the thrill ride. Later in the video, a Disney cast member is seen approaching the stroller and communicating with the baby, seemingly after noticing the unusual situation.

Video Sparks Backlash Online

The alleged incident has ignited a heated debate online, with social media users expressing outrage over the parents’ actions. Many questioned how anyone could think it was acceptable to leave an infant alone in a busy theme park, especially at a major attraction with long wait times. The video is captioned:

Apparently you have to be 15 to be left unattended… idk how they thought this was ok!”

While the video does not show what happened after the cast member intervened, Disneyland Resort has strict policies regarding unattended children, and incidents like these are taken seriously by park officials.

Disneyland’s Policy on Unattended Minors

Disney’s official guidelines prohibit guests under the age of 7 from riding attractions alone, and all children under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult to enter the park. While there is no formal policy specifically addressing unattended infants in strollers, leaving a child alone in a public space violates basic safety protocols and could lead to serious consequences for the parents.

Park security routinely monitors guest behavior and can step in when necessary to ensure the safety of all visitors—especially young children who may be at risk.

What Happens Next?

As of now, Disney has not publicly addressed this specific incident, and it is unclear whether the parents faced any consequences. However, cases of parental neglect or safety violations inside the parks could potentially result in removal from the park, suspension of future entry, or even law enforcement involvement.

With Disneyland Resort’s extensive security measures and vigilant cast members, situations like these rarely go unnoticed for long. Whether the video was an unfortunate misunderstanding or a genuine case of parental negligence, the online reaction makes it clear: guests expect better when it comes to child safety at the Happiest Place on Earth.
