Disney Parks fans are furious after a teenage Disneyland Park guest was caught attacking Minnie Mouse while his family laughed and recorded the incident. The footage has reignited conversations about theme park etiquette and the safety of Disney’s beloved character performers.
Caught on Camera: Teen Shoves Minnie Mouse
The video, originally posted on TikTok by @earloveyoulove, shows Minnie Mouse interacting with guests on Main Street, U.S.A.. As she turns to walk away, a teenage boy suddenly shoves the back of her head.

Minnie immediately reacts, spinning around and standing her ground in what appears to be a clear sign of distress. However, instead of apologizing or correcting the boy, his family laughs and pulls out their phones to film her reaction. A Disneyland Resort cast member quickly steps in, guiding Minnie Mouse away from the group.
Disney Fans Defend Minnie Mouse
The video has sparked a wave of backlash, with Disney Parks fans calling out both the teen’s behavior and his family’s response.
“These are the people who ruin the experience for others, who just want to have a great time,” @eugenedarden commented.
“They should get banned!” said @jorgexotics1.
Many placed the blame squarely on the boy’s parents, arguing that they should have stepped in to stop the behavior.
“Where are his parents?” @queennmyhouse asked.
“Those kids are brats,” @suzymckelviecerf replied.
Some Disney Parks fans also questioned why Minnie Mouse’s character attendant wasn’t more proactive in preventing the incident.
“Where was the security?” @rain_408 asked. “They usually have with them for situations like these.”
“Characters don’t walk around alone because of things like this,” @mrs.degille replied.
Disney’s Character Performers Face Real Risks
For Disney’s entertainment cast members, moments like this highlight the challenges and risks of portraying beloved characters. “Fur” characters like Minnie Mouse have limited vision and mobility inside their costumes and must rely on silent distress signals to alert their attendants when something goes wrong. Since they cannot speak to correct guest behavior, they are particularly vulnerable to inappropriate interactions.
One Disney Parks fan, @jennylkb0sk on TikTok, shared their experience standing up for Mickey Mouse: “They need to respect them they are human like us and is not nice to do that I witnessed some child bullying Mickey and I got a person to help him.”
Disneyland Resort has not released an official statement regarding this incident, and it is unclear whether the family faced any consequences. However, guests who witness inappropriate behavior toward Disney characters are encouraged to report it immediately to the nearest cast member.

TOURIST STILL DISGUSTING!!!!
What is wrong with “parents” that are so ignorant to allow their stupid kid to behave like an idiot????
This family showing such ignorance and disrespect for characters in this manner should be removed and banned immediately you all think you are so privileged because you stay in the resorts well guess what you are not!!! Any one of you that keep doing this crap should be kicked out of the parks forever
I THINK ITS BAD AS WE ALL LOVE DISNEY AND THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT WE LIKE AND IDIOTS WHO HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE .THE PARENTS SHOULD BE BANNED AS ITS THEIR RESPONSIBLTY FOR THEIR KIDS .
It’s simply awful how some people act. I agree that they should be removed from the park. Should they be banned over it? That’s a difficult question. Give them another chance? Regardless, the teen is certainly old enough to know better and the people with him should have prevented it.
A do not see an attack. I see a teenager that probably is more immature than others and felt the need to touch Minnie. Did not strike her or punched, just touched the head. Common people, you are exaggerating!
Sensationalized writing at its worst.
Disneyland. California. Don’t need to read anything further. It’s what they’ve become. Altho, “shove” is a reach and a half.
The crudeness and ignorance of people these days is unreal. I wish they would kick the entire family out forever. They deserve it. So disrespectful. Grow up.
While the kid should know to keep his hands to himself and the parents obviously dropped the ball with their parenting, the kid did not attack Minnie or shove the back of her head. he swiped the back of her head with one finger. I’m surprised the cast member even felt it.
Sensationalized and misleading stories should be banned.
View the characters at Disney as your peer, parent, teacher, mentor, police officer, judge, and if you or your child treats any of those figures incorrectly in public their needs to be consequences. A character at Disney or anyone should not be teased, causing public embarrassment, shaming, harassment, or trauma, causing a disturbance, distress, or in worst case a riot. Punish the child and the party involved because when I’m there I would have spoken up to the group and unfortunately causing further escalation and disrupting a routine a family member with a disability wouldn’t take lightly.
