VIDEO: Why Are These Disney Moments So Embarrassing?

Every trip to a Disney Park is full of some awkward moments. It’s an unfortunate truth, but awkward moments are a part of life.

We wish they could be left behind with the rest of real life when we enter a Disney Park, but it seems that no amount of Disney magic can eradicate awkwardness.

But one of the most awkward Disney moments of all is waiting for your turn to exit a ride while other Guests are waiting for their turn to get on.

In Magic Kingdom, this applies to rides like “it’s a small world,” where Guests wait at the mercy of other Guests to enter and exit their boat. All the while, other Guests are watching, putting even more pressure on you to hurry up.

In Disneyland Park, another great example is the onboarding process for Pirates of the Caribbean.

One Guest, in particular, Eric (@ericsatisky on TikTok), took a quick video to showcase the cringe-worthiness.

The video shows the painstakingly slow process of getting off the boat, all while other Guests are watching and waiting for their turn. Then at the end, arguably the most awkward moment of all, Eric’s boat hits the boat in front of him.

This video really resonated with some viewers, who rushed to the comments to share how they felt.

One viewer writes, “I always look down or at my phone its too awkward.”

Another viewer writes, “And then they look at you like ‘you hit me on purpose why didn’t you slow down,’” to which Eric responds, “There’s no brakes!”

Why do these moments bother us so much? We know deep down that no one is at fault, but we still find ourselves feeling ashamed for these unavoidable moments.

Maybe they’re a little too real, and they shatter some of that Disney magic. Perhaps the imaginary blame game everybody plays at a Disney Park starts to get to us.

Whatever the reason, these moments never last long, so there’s no sense in dwelling on them. If the awkwardness really gets to you, treat yourself to a churro or a Mickey-shaped treat and let the uncomfortable feelings melt away. After all, you’re at Disney!
