A Disneyland Resort guest shared a troubling experience involving offensive comments from another Southern California theme park visitor, an unsettling encounter during what should have been a magical afternoon.
The guest, Stephanie (@stephanielizabeth08), recounted the incident in a TikTok video, describing how she and her wife were targeted while navigating the crowded streets of Disneyland Park.
@stephanielizabeth08 shaking because if you’re brown, you know this feeling… you know why it happened… #disneyland #disney @Disney Parks
The incident occurred as Stephanie and her wife exited Disneyland Park during the popular A Christmas Fantasy Parade. Main Street, U.S.A., was packed with guests trying to secure spots for the show, creating an understandably crowded and chaotic atmosphere.
“If you know how busy it gets on Main Street right before a parade, then you know everyone’s packed like sardines and walking really tightly,” Stephanie explained in her TikTok video.
As they walked behind a mother and daughter, the mother suddenly shouted, “Move! These people are driving me crazy.” She then “snatched” her daughter aside and waited for Stephanie and her wife to pass.
“I turned around like, wait, did she just say that?” Stephanie recounted. “And she’s just staring at us. I was so confused.”
Stephanie thought the tense moment was over, but the same woman crossed their path again shortly after the couple exited a souvenir shop on Main Street, U.S.A.. According to Stephanie, the woman continued glaring at them, escalating her discomfort.
“She was just mad-dogging us again,” Stephanie shared. “And yes… they were [white].”
The TikToker explained that the incident left her feeling targeted and unsettled. “Shaking because if you’re brown, you know this feeling… you know why it happened…,” she wrote in the video’s caption.
Stephanie’s account resonated with many Disneyland Resort fans, sparking a conversation about similar experiences at the Southern California theme parks. One commenter wrote, “They literally stare at you expecting you to move out their way, they are so entitled.”

The Term WHITE WOMAN is Offensive.
exactly, stop it now. Quit putting this rude stuff on here. We come here to see the nice things about Disney, not raciest things.
THIS TERM WHITE WOMAN was definitely RACIST by this GAY BROWN FAT WOMAN who takes out her phone to supposedly report this INCIDENT ON TICTOK
surely she has been to the parks before maybe many times and this incident never happened before why NOW
I am a Southern born WHITE WOMAN there are two sides to this story and I choose to call this is a racist video for her to get noticed on social media. This racist CRAP must STOP or go back where you came from
Please people, the racism in ALL OF ITS FORMS has to stop. That is our happy place and if you want to be racist maybe you should pick another country.
I am white, but I do not care whether the person is gay, straight, or what color or religion they are. As long as they are wonderful people that is all that matters.
