The Rise of Bad Guest Behavior at Disney
What is going on at the Disney Parks? There are countless examples of irresponsible behaviors by Guests in recent months. One of the most shocking incidents was when a Guest brought in a firework to the Disneyland Resort in Southern California. The Guest was able to get a firework past Park security, where she proceeded to light it on fire in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. The firework was clearly meant for photo purposes, but the whole situation is still mind-boggling. In the video, you can see Park security addressing the situation and quickly removing her from the Park.

What Can Be Done about Rude and Reckless Guests?
This isn’t the only incident to recently go viral in the parks. One Guest stumped fans when she dropped her phone on Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roasters in Disney’s California Adventure. Other videos have shown Guests unnecessarily yelling at Cast Members, filming with flash on dark rides, and asking insensitive questions to Park characters.
While there is no easy solution to this problem, it is clear that something must be done to limit bad behavior in the Parks. It is disappointing to see Guests disrespect and ruin what should be a magical day for others.
