Disney Guest “Attacked” on Transportation, Asks Internet If They Did Wrong

Walt Disney World Resort is a place that welcomes dreamers of all ages, offering enchantment around every corner—from Main Street, U.S.A. to the fireworks bursting above Cinderella Castle. But even in a setting built for unforgettable memories, occasional tension can arise as guests try to make the most of their day in the parks.

A Bus Trip Gone Wrong

On the morning of July 2, a guest heading from Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort to Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park found themselves at the center of a heated exchange after boarding a bus ahead of two men, whose family “attacked” them, accused them of cutting in line, and “shoving” their way on.

According to the account, a group with a stroller was struggling to fold it at the front of the line, and when they moved slightly aside, the guest and their two kids boarded without making contact. Moments later, they were confronted by the stroller group’s companions, who were already seated, loudly insisting they had skipped them.

Despite trying to explain that the others had moved aside and that it’s standard to fill open space on public transport, the confrontation escalated until one of the women’s husbands stepped in, urging her to set a better example. The guest now wonders if they were in the wrong or simply caught in an overreaction.

Former cast member here – this is what we want you to do. Keep the line moving! They can’t hold up the line because they weren’t prepared. The whole party should have waited TBH.

You hear it all the time – fill in all the space!

Another comment from ghost_of_apaol echoed the sentiment, writing:

Nah you’re good. They should’ve been ready with the stroller when it was their turn. They did the right thing by moving to the side. But the ladies were way out of line.

This is the hold up for the buses everywhere. People will run to a bus loaded with people and spend forever unloading all their supplies for the day. You didn’t cut. I direct others around these guests all the time.

This comment from Smasher31232 addressed it from the other point of view:

You’re in the right. As someone who recently somehow forgot to fold his stroller right before getting on the bus, the idea that people would wait behind me is slightly mortifying. The moving aside is the universal ‘whoops, sorry’ gesture.

Disney World Isn’t Always Magical

While this altercation didn’t turn physical, similar scenes have occurred before. In late 2024, guests near Avatar Flight of Passage at Disney’s Animal Kingdom were seen involved in a fistfight. International parks have also seen their share of issues; Disneyland Paris’ Walt Disney Studios Park faced a group altercation from a line-cutting incident last year, prompting cast member intervention.

Holding a prime viewing location for shows like Happily Ever After, parades or other spectaculars is part of the tradition for many families visiting Disney theme parks. However, emotions can run high when sightlines become blocked, or guests perceive unfair advantages, which happened recently with two social media stars.

Disney guidelines discourage guests from saving space for others, leading to uncomfortable situations, especially during high-traffic evening events.

Magic Kingdom—and all Disney theme parks—are designed to foster wonder and joy, but even magical destinations are not immune to real-world human behavior. With crowds, heat, and anticipation often building up throughout the day, these elements can sometimes tip the balance from excitement to stress.
