The amount of rides and attractions at Walt Disney World as well as the international parks is overwhelming, to say the least. Within Disney World’s four parks, there are so many fun, thrilling, and enjoyable experiences that guests can choose from. But with so many rides and attractions, there’s bound to be an issue or two once in a while.
A few years back, a funny malfunction could be seen inside the queue of Journey of the Little Mermaid, a slow-moving dark ride in the Magic Kingdom. See the video below posted by @lovindisworld:

As you can see, the loveable yet scruffy Scuttle from Disney’s The Little Mermaid (1989) seemingly took a nap right in front of guests. Usually, Scuttle is supposed to welcome riders as they enter the queue.
We do not know why or what caused this malfunction but it was a pretty funny sight for those waiting in line.
