This was when the Disney mom shared that she asked what was happening and thought she would get off the attraction. Then, she claims that the attraction took off, and she was shocked at what unfolded.

After the attraction ended, they found the Cast Member who removed the children, and they shared that the weight on the cart was too much, so they were removed and put on another cart. The mom adds in her video that Disney should have it in place not to remove children because she does not know if they can be separated.

Disney Cast Members do their best to keep attractions running smoothly and keep wait time low so fast changes may happen to prevent delays from occurring. While this Cast Member should not have removed the children from the parents without an explanation, they were just doing their job to keep the attraction from shutting down.

It’s also important to keep in mind that this report is coming from one individual guest’s experience, and may not represent the typical Disneyland Resort experience.
