Demi Lovato’s Disney Ride Evacuation Goes Viral: What Happened?

 Demi Lovato, a former Disney Channel star turned pop sensation, recently found herself in an unexpected situation while enjoying a trip to Disneyland. The singer was visiting Disney California Adventure when she had to be evacuated from the popular Radiator Springs Racers attraction. Rather than letting the moment dampen her spirits, Lovato took it in stride—giving fans a nostalgic reminder of her Disney roots by doing the iconic “Disney knees” pose during the evacuation.

For those who may not remember, Lovato rose to fame as a teenager through Disney Channel projects like Camp Rock(2008) and Sonny with a Chance (2009-2011). Her breakout role as Mitchie Torres in Camp Rock helped launch her music career, and the song “This Is Me” became an anthem for Disney fans in the late 2000s. So, when Lovato found herself in an unexpected situation at Disneyland, she couldn’t resist leaning into her Disney past.

A TikTok shared by Demi Lovato featuring the famous “Disney knees” pose—a stance often associated with Disney Channel stars, where they lean forward slightly and bend their knees inward. She captioned the post, “Couldn’t go to Disney without doing the dis-knees,” as the Camp Rock song “This Is Me” played in the background.

While theme park evacuations can be frustrating, they’re a reality for any Disney guest—even celebrities. Attractions sometimes experience technical difficulties, requiring cast members to safely escort riders off. Lovato’s lighthearted response proves that even the most famous Disney alums aren’t immune to these moments, but they can certainly make the best of them.

Lovato’s viral TikTok not only entertained fans but also brought back waves of nostalgia for those who grew up watching her on Disney Channel. While she’s long moved on from her days as a Disney star, moments like these show that she still embraces the legacy that helped launch her career.
