A Disneyland visitor was arrested over the weekend after being caught on camera removing his clothes and crawling around the famous Small World ride, causing alarm and confusion among park attendees. The unidentified 26-year-old man was filmed in his underwear climbing over the animatronic figures and sitting in the pool next to the miniature Taj Mahal. Park staff quickly intervened to stop his behavior. Entertainment Weekly spoke to one of the riders who witnessed the incident, Disney fan Maegan Carmona, and she shared her experience on her Instagram dedicated to her Disney visits.

According to Carmona, she and other riders became aware of an issue around 3 PM local time when their boats started slowing down. She then saw a guest walking in a restricted area of the ride, leading to a 20-minute pause in operations.
Additional spectators witnessed the event and shared their immediate reactions on various social media platforms.
"Currently on Small World and we just saw a streaker," tweeted Ashley Esqueda. "I cannot believe what I just witnessed." A photo of the individual walking through the park without clothing beside a pile of clothes was also included in the post. The ride was temporarily closed due to the incident.
Anaheim Police officers, as reported by KTLA, also responded to the scene and apprehended an unidentified man for suspected indecent exposure and being under the influence of a controlled substance. The ride continued shortly after.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I was appalled and saddened to hear about the streaking incident that took place at Disneyland over the weekend. This type of behavior is not only inappropriate and disrespectful, but it also ruins the magical experience for everyone else.
It's important to remember that Disneyland is a place where families and children come to enjoy themselves, and it's our responsibility to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. I hope that the individual involved is held accountable for his actions and that Disneyland takes steps to prevent this from happening again in the future.
