Disney theme parks are seeing an uptick in fights.
According to a Fox News report, the House of Mouse was forced to issue an update to its behavior guidelines in the wake of a spike in fights at Disney Land and Disney World.
From Fox News:
Both Disneyland and Walt Disney World added courtesy sections to the “Know Before You Go” section on their website reminding guests that inappropriate behavior can result in being kicked off the property.
For California parkgoers, Disneyland’s warning reads, “We ask all who come to this happy place to treat others with respect, kindness and compassion. To help guests have a safe and enjoyable experience, we regularly update our Disneyland resort rules.”
Additionally, in the property rules section, the park asks that guests show “common courtesy” to other guests and cast members (employees) by “not using profanity or engaging in unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behavior, jumping lines or saving places in lines for others.”
Walt Disney World in Florida shares a similar message encouraging guests to “be the magic you want to see in the world” and to always treat others with respect, kindness and compassion. The park warns those who can’t live up to the “simple wish” will be asked to leave the resort.
Earlier this year, a huge fight broke out in front of a Peter Pan ride between two families; a woman suffered a head injury.
Disney stock has been struggling after a recent string of losses for the company, including poor box office performers and trouble with its Disney+ streaming platform.
