A violent fight caught on camera got a family kicked out of Disneyland Saturday, July 6.

What We Know:

  • In the video, a verbal fight between a man and a woman escalates when the woman spits on the man and he begins to hit her. Other members of the family slowly get involved before security arrives nearly four minutes after the fight broke out. Bystanders also began to get involved in breaking up the fight while waiting on security.
  • A Disneyland spokesperson confirmed that the fight in the video did indeed occur at Toontown in the park Saturday and all parties are from the same family.
  • Disneyland security responded to the fight in Toontown and kicked the family out of the park. “Any type of violence is inexcusable and will not be tolerated,” Disneyland Resort spokesperson Liz Jaeger said.
  • Disneyland security turned the family over to the Anaheim Police Department, who reported the family was uncooperative but an investigation will continue using the recorded video footage.

Spectators feel frustrated with how long it took security to respond to the fight, forcing bystanders to get involved and feel unsafe.
