An influencer is facing backlash after posting a video that allegedly shows her sneaking into a theme park, possibly a Disney park, by hiding in a stroller. In the footage, which amassed over 500,000 likes, the adult woman uses a pacifier and crouches beneath a blanket in the parking lot in a stroller being pushed by her family.
Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort have long offered free entry to guests under the age of three, a policy that some families have attempted to extend beyond that age limit. Disney Tips has reported in the past about debates surrounding the ethics of parents lying about the ages of their children to gain free admission.
One such instance, which went viral in 2022, involved a family attempting to sneak an elementary school-age child into Walt Disney World Resort by hiding her in a car seat. While some Disney Parks fans criticized the family for exploiting the ticket policy, others argued there was no harm in scamming a large corporation to save hundreds of dollars on a family vacation.
However, a more recent incident featured a guest far beyond the under-three cutoff. In January, Instagram influencer Evelyn Ha (@hjevelyn) shared a video of herself hiding under a blanket in a stroller to sneak into what many believed was a Disney park. A later YouTube video, however, confirmed that the incident took place at Six Flags, not Disney.

In the Instagram video, Ha can be seen wearing a baby beanie and a pacifier while lying in the stroller as her family pushes her through the parking lot.
The response from Disney Parks fans was mixed, with many voicing their anger over what they saw as an inappropriate stunt.
“This is so weird and just for content,” @sel091le commented. “You can afford to buy tickets and go like everyone else.”
“It is funny and I get the joke, however now 100’s of idiots will copy this and then the theme parks will crack down and inspect every pram/baby,” said @mrsgucwa.
However, not everyone agreed with the criticism. Some felt there was no harm in the act.
“This is so funny, anyone saying otherwise in the comments must be a miserable person to hang out with,” @acebiscus added.
“Nothing weird about this,” @h4zmat_ argued. “Everybody gotta do this once in their life.”
