Disney World Turns Into a Florida Man Circus—Complete With Cocaine and Without Pants
Few places in the world are as polished and well-run as Walt Disney World. But all that planning and pixie dust mean nothing when Florida Man shows up. The internet’s favorite disaster-prone citizen has a long track record of bizarre behavior—but when it spills into Disney property, it becomes something entirely new.
These stories show that even the most magical place on Earth isn’t immune to chaos.
The Only Thing He Was Wearing Was Trouble
2025 kicked off with pure Florida Man energy. At EPCOT, a 24-year-old man reportedly got drunk, stripped to his underwear, and tore apart a merchandise kiosk while guests looked on in disbelief. Cast Members and security jumped into action, stopped the chaos, and had him arrested on the spot. Disney banned him for life. Definitely not how most guests spend a day in the parks.
A Spot in Line Turns Into a Chokehold
At Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, a man believed someone had cut ahead of him in the bus line. His response? He grabbed the other guest by the neck, sparking a commotion that drew in other guests and security. The attacker was arrested and banned from Disney property. It’s a pretty extreme reaction—especially for a bus that wasn’t even full yet.
Parking Lot Prowler
December 2024 brought its own bit of weird when a man was caught pulling on the doors of multiple cars at a Disney resort lot. Security noticed and intervened before any thefts occurred. Police arrested him for loitering and prowling. Just another day in Florida—only this time, under Mickey’s watchful eye.
The Park Turned on Him Faster Than a Teacup
Late in 2024, a Florida man allegedly mocked a woman with Down syndrome in the park. Another guest witnessed it and took matters into their own hands. What followed was a physical altercation that ended with the man bruised and humiliated, and the internet firmly siding with the woman and her impromptu defender.
The Only Thing Faster Than the Water Slide? The Lawsuit
A man who visited Blizzard Beach in 2021 filed a lawsuit in May 2025. Weighing 334 pounds—well above the slide’s 300-lb limit—he claims he was thrown from the Downhill Double Dipper and injured. He’s seeking $50,000 in damages, and the lawsuit is moving forward. Disney has yet to respond publicly.
Cocaine at the Castle
In late March 2025, a 44-year-old man’s suspicious behavior at the Magic Kingdom checkpoint raised eyebrows. Security found cocaine in his possession—while his child stood right beside him. He was arrested and permanently banned from Disney parks. Instead of memories and magic, this dad left with handcuffs and a criminal record.
Where Dreams Come True… and Arrests Happen Too
Every parade ends, every fireworks show fades—but Florida Man keeps the surprises coming. These jaw-dropping tales prove that sometimes, the real thrill ride happens in the food court, the parking lot, or the bus line. As 2025 rolls on, keep your eyes open—because anything can happen when Florida Man meets Disney.
