For two families, Disney World turned out to not be the most magical place on Earth, after all.
A brawl erupted at the Orlando theme park’s Magic Kingdom between the families while in line for Mickey’s PhilharMagic theatre. Bystander video of the incident has, of course, gone viral.
One family member had left the line after realizing she forgot her phone on an electric conveyance vehicle, the Walt Disney World News Today blog reported.
When she returned to join her group, another family wearing matching clothing blocked her from getting past them and began “pushing her back so they could let the line move a bit further along,” according to the blog.
After both families exited the theatre, a confrontation began, with the girl’s family member saying, “We don’t appreciate you guys pushing my younger sister.”
That’s when all hell broke loose, first with an expletive-laden shouting match that quickly evolved into a physical, all-out brawl that spilled into the street as a crowd of parkgoers looked on.
One group allegedly “stole or broke several personal items belonging to their opponents including mobile phones and designer clothes,” the blog added.
Two employees intervened and broke up the fight after a couple minutes.
All members of both families were escorted to a security office, with one person taken away in an ambulance after he suffered a large cut to his face, the WDWNT blog reported.
The others only had minor cuts and bruises.
The family whose member left the line have been banned from the theme park, while guests from the other family were reportedly arrested.
