A dispute between two families in line at Disney World turned ugly on Wednesday when the altercation escalated into an all-out brawl.
Somewhere in Fantasyland between Cinderella's Castle and Peter Pan's Flight, the warring families traded punches and profanity, as onlookers screamed in the background, Fox 35 reported. The fracas continued at the Orlando, Florida theme park for several minutes before park personnel and deputies broke it up.
"We came upon it, and it appeared as though it took about two minutes for two security personnel to arrive. Deputies arrived probably about five minutes after that," an eyewitness told the local Fox station.
According to the Daily Mail's reporting, the incident began when a female Disney guest waiting to get into Mickey's PhilharMagic realized she had left her phone on her electric conveyance vehicle and left the line to get it, while her family remained. When she returned, another family tried to block her from rejoining the line. Her family then reportedly waited outside the theater and confronted the other group.

Would looking be a waste of time?
Yep, same thing happened to Olympic Park in Irvington, NJ where my dad went frequently as a child - one of the oldest amusement parks in the world when it closed in the late 1960s after mobs of “mostly peaceful protesters” ran around attacking other attendees.
You give money to Disney you get what you deserve.
About 12 years ago, some local organization started free family movie nights in local parks.
They set up a large screen and projected family friendly movies. You could bring an ice chest and lawn chairs and enjoy an affordable evening hanging out with the kids and friends and enjoying the show.
After a couple of years …… well, you know the rest.
And they quietly stopped free family movie nights.
“Word to the wise, Disney.”
As if they care. Eventually closing it would be considered “racist” so I see those now running it into the ground counting on a government bail out.
I can. Go to those countries and see where they come from.
Like the Harvey Mall south of Chicago. The Mall that the police chase in The Blues Brothers was filmed in.
There was one opposite the upper west side of Manhattan called Palisades Park, which also closed in the 1960s. There was a Top-40 song written about it.
Can you imagine how much fun it must have been to go to one of those parks back in the post-war '40s and '50s? If you were 11, 12, 13 years old?
Same old shit a god dam buffalo stampede. Dont get near it, people. These fights are mostly big ass Buffalo gals weighing 200+. Watch out for those claws!
Yo! Don’t be disrespectin’ me!
Same for Riverview Park in Chicago. In its last years people were quietly calling it “N***erview Park”. The owners closed it abruptly after the end of the 1967 season.
Thanks again for providing Rumble links. I try to support Rumble (over YouTube) as much as possible.
Yes, once again it’s the Amish.
How about Freedom Land? I went there a couple of times in the early 1960s. Sort of recall a Civil War show, but definitely
remember the Confederate officer’s hat I bought and wore because I like d the grey color better than the Union blue.
I’m guessing not too many places sell Confederate gear any more.
She didn’t say it was hard to find :P
We have that now in our town…..started due to COVID.
Everyone loves it.

“Decent people often avoid Disney World.”
I have never been, and have no intention of ever going.
I did go to the original Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, because it was “local” (we lived near the beach, just north of what is now LA International Airport; but then it was just fields and dunes and canyons). I first went the year it opened, and went back several times over the years. It was a great place back then. I understand it is now a no-go zone.
I went to Disneyland in 1960 or '61, when I was six years old. It was incredible.
Flying model airplanes with tiny gas engines. Radiometers for sale everywhere. Remember those?
A child's paradise. Los Angeles in the late '50s.
Oh, good grief. What an ignorant, racist comment.
Not surprised, sadly.
