VIDEO: Man Causes Chaos at Disneyland After Stripping Naked and Climbing Trees
Disneyland Resort is a place where millions of guests come every year to experience the magic and wonder of Disney. From the iconic Mickey ears to the soaring fireworks over Sleeping Beauty Castle, it is the quintessential destination for families seeking fun, joy, and unforgettable memories.
However, not every visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is filled with fairy tale moments, and sometimes unexpected events can turn what should be a perfect day into a chaotic spectacle.

On the evening of April 12, 2025, Disneyland Park found itself embroiled in an incident that left many guests shocked and confused. It wasn’t the kind of excitement that Disneyland is known for; instead, it was a bizarre and unsettling event that quickly made its way into the public eye.
A naked man, reportedly acting erratically, disrupted the peaceful atmosphere, leading to a scene that escalated quickly in the park’s New Orleans Square area.
Reddit user LAZERPANDA15 shared their firsthand account of the evening, shedding light on the chaotic events that unfolded. As they recount, they had been enjoying the attractions and eateries in New Orleans Square, including favorites like Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion.
The area, usually brimming with the charm of Southern-inspired architecture and the hustle and bustle of guests enjoying their meals at places like Tiana’s Palace, was about to be disrupted in an unexpected way.
The Redditor explained that things started to take a strange turn when a group of guests, whom they described as likely mothers, began blocking off an area and announcing that no children were allowed. The situation seemed to be one of confusion, as the patio of River Belle Terrace restaurant was also evacuated. What initially appeared to be a standard moment of crowd control was, in fact, just the beginning of an increasingly bizarre scene.
It wasn’t long before the reason for the commotion became clear.

The original poster (OP) revealed that a man had taken off all of his clothes and was walking around the area completely naked. As Disney security worked to contain the situation, it became apparent that the man’s behavior was far from ordinary.
He wasn’t simply walking around, causing confusion — he was also scaling a tree, still completely unclothed. This odd spectacle was far more than what anyone had expected to witness while visiting Disneyland.
He started scaling a tree (still naked as the day he was born). I couldn’t stop staring, but that is when my spouse said “Hey, you gotta stop staring. Our kid is going to see this. Let’s go.” And said kid was looking for the source of all the hubbub, but she did not see the guy. Any updates on uhhhh… the outcome for this gentleman? Dude was on one. I hope he’s OK and didn’t get hurt, but I would love to know some updated details regarding the resolution of this story. Can people get banned for life?

What followed was a flurry of speculation and concern, both from witnesses and other Reddit users who joined the conversation. Many were quick to point out that Disney has a well-known policy of issuing lifetime bans to guests who cause disturbances or create chaos in the parks. Considering the nature of the incident, it’s likely that the individual involved was banned from ever returning to any Disney property.
Some Reddit users also shared insights into the events following the naked man’s appearance. It seemed that Disney security, possibly with the assistance of undercover police officers, managed to apprehend the man.
One commenter mentioned that the naked man had even climbed to the top of Tiana’s Palace and started shouting at the guests below.
Found an Instagram post about it, he apparently got on top of the Tiana cafe and was naked up there shouting at people. In the comments over there people were like in line for beignets and all of a sudden see him. He apparently was screaming “I AM EXPOSING MYSELF TO EXPOSE…” but the commenter couldn’t hear the rest because she got ushered away. Another commenter basically said he started talking about sexual violence and that he was going to hurt himself and it scared her kid a LOT.
Presumably security eventually got him down, I would guess he’s either in jail or on a psych hold.

This disturbing incident is not the first time something like this has occurred at Disneyland. In fact, this is the second time in just a few months that a naked individual has caused significant disruption at the park.
Just after Thanksgiving 2023, another naked man was seen wandering around “it’s a small world” in Fantasyland. As guests on the ride looked on in shock, the man reportedly climbed into restricted areas, sat for a while, and then continued moving through the ride.
Eventually, police officers chased the man through the attraction, managing to arrest him before he could do further damage. Following that incident, Disney increased security around “it’s a small world”.
While Disneyland is known for its immersive experiences and family-friendly atmosphere, these incidents serve as stark reminders of the unpredictable nature of public spaces. Whether it’s individuals under the influence or simply causing disruption, these moments of chaos can tarnish the otherwise magical experience for visitors.
Disneyland has yet to officially comment on the April 12 incident, and it remains to be seen what actions will be taken regarding the individual involved. However, with such bizarre and unsettling behavior, many are left wondering how these incidents can be prevented in the future and what steps Disney will take to ensure the safety and comfort of their guests.
Have you ever encountered a guest under the influence of illegal substances at a Disney park? Did the situation escalate to the point where security had to step in? We’d love to hear your stories—share them in the comments!
