A brawl broke out between two families near Peter Pan's Flight at magic Kingdom Walt Disney World. What started the brawl was originally reported by the Walt Disney World News Today website. " The guest and their family were in line for Mickey’s PhilharMagic when one member realized their phone was left in their ECV, so she exited to retrieve it. On her way back in, the family in matching apparel denied to let her pass back to her family, pushing her back so they could let the line move a bit further along."
One family waited outside the theater to confront the other about pushing one of their family members. There will of course be conflicting stories about what started the fight, but there was reportedly a lot of stolen or broken items including phones, designer clothes, and accessories.
The guests involved have now been banned. Some were even arrested by Orange County Police. There were some injuries "one member of the guests’ family taken away in an ambulance due to a large cut in his chin, with other members of the family receiving cuts and bruises."
In the last video you'll see Disney World cast members getting involved. But we'll get to that. Many of the fight videos have been taken down from the accounts they were originally recorded to, but WDWNT had already downloaded them and uploaded the videos to their own Vimeo page for us to enjoy. Sorry about the ads, though, they came with the video. If you can't take all of them, the last video is the best. But let's get to the fight. If you're at work you may want to turn down the volume. They aren't just throwing hands, there's some strong words as well.
Edit: looks like they took the videos down. So I added some Waffle House fight videos so you don't feel cheated.
One of the families is wearing matching clothing, which makes it easier when you have a melee
This person stood in the bushes to get the video. Safe move.
Whoever shot this video was not afraid to get in the middle
So what's next?
You gotta know if you get into a fight at Disney World you're going to be banned for life. If not arrested. What should have happened? The families should have got together and agreed to settle this at a Waffle House. Waffle House employees are better equipped to handle brawls, it's part of their job description. There's actually a Waffle House very close to Disney.
Here's how they do it at Waffle House
Remember once upon a time when a fight would break out at a Waffle House and everyone would freak out and there'd be police and news coverage? Now it's just expected. You go to Waffle House enough and you're going to see something. I'm not even sure where this fight happened but there's a lot going on to take in. The main part is that I'm seeing that knowing how to fight is a requirement if you're going to work nights at Waffle House. Watch this dude square up, it's not his first time. His backup came around the corner with a skillet. But the best part? Twitter got jokes.
