Video shows the moment an allegedly drunk Disney World attendee exited a ride while it was in motion – causing general chaos and a war of words with other guests.
The heated altercation was recorded by another rider on what was supposed to be a relaxing boat ride at Disney’s EPCOT theme park – famed for its ‘Drink Around the World’ challenge.
The pastime sees guests enjoy characteristic drink and fare from countries like Mexico, Morocco, and France, and regularly results in parkgoers getting more blitzed than they might have intended.
Such was the case this past Friday, when the unnamed woman seen in the footage stumbled off Epcot’s Gran Fiesta Tour in the park’s margarita-rife Mexican Pavilion.
A pair of clips posted to TikTok the next day laid bare the disruption – showing how the ride was brought to a stand till for safety purposes as the woman teetered along the exit platform at the water’s edge, looking to leave the slow-moving tour.
The display led many to assume she was intoxicated, and saw cast members tell her to return to her seat. When she refused, guests stranded on the boat began to join the chorus of disapproval, resulting in them being berated by the woman as well.

The display led many to assume she was intoxicated, and saw cast members tell her to return to her seat. When she refused, guests stranded on the boat began to join the chorus of disapproval, resulting in them being berated by the woman as well
‘Call security now!’ someone stuck on the boat is heard shouting to a cast member on the first of the two clips, as staffers seemed at a loss as to how to handle the incident.
As guests beg staff to let them get off the boat, the disruptive guest can be heard shouting at the fed-up parkgoers, but much of it was inaudible.
A command from a cast member frustrated by the woman’s actions, however, is heard over the emerging chorus of jeers from those stuck on board.
‘Ma’am, you have thirty seconds, or I’m coming back there, and I’m taking you down!’ the staffer says in initial video – which has been viewed more than 300,000 times.
At this point, the guest appears to heed the worker’s warning, walking back over to the boat and taking the hand of someone on board.
She then starts to get back in the vehicle, before having a change of heart and returning to the platform.
The clip later cuts out – but was followed with another, even more viral video that has been viewed almost 2million times in a matter of days.
It begins with the female guest again standing on the platform, declaring her intention to get off the ride by whatever means necessary.
‘I’m getting off!’ she shouts in the clip, slurring her words.
Several parkgoers can be heard yelling back during the resulting frenzy, urging the woman to sit down.
A caption penned by the TikToker who witnessed the encounter read: ‘Part two. She screamed. Tried to fight with the people in the boat behind her. Swung on two young workers. Scared kids and pissed everyone off.’

Several parkgoers yelled back at the unidentified woman during the chaos, urging her to sit down so the ride could move again
The woman, however, continues to refuse, and unhooks a security railing and staggers toward the ride exit.
Within seconds, she was intercepted by an employee who tells her to stay put.
‘No. Ma’am, you cannot leave the station right now,’ the staffer is heard saying through a veil of forced politeness. ‘You are not leaving.’
Still undeterred, the woman goes to to hop the line divider to take her leave, before cops were eventually called.
The TikToker who posted the clips, @Shianne_1995, wrote the woman ‘ran and had to be taken out by security.’
Workers, meanwhile, restarted the attraction – after being forced to keep it halted due to a guest standing on the emergency platform only a few inches from its side.
When asked about the circulating footage Tuesday, Orange County cops would not confirm the woman’s identity, but said officers responded to ‘two separate disturbances’ involving a 37-year-old woman that Friday night.
The first occurred at 7 pm at the Mexico Pavilion, the Epcot area where the Gran Fiesta Tour ride is located.
The second transpired roughly an hour later in the line for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind ride, with deputies airing the belief the woman involved was intoxicated.
‘The victims in both incidents did not wish to prosecute’ and the unnamed guest ‘was trespassed from property,’ a rep for the department said.
It is not clear whether the woman was permanently banned from the park, but looking at precedents set by similar incidents, that may be the case.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Disney World for comment.

The clip goes on to cut out – but continues with another, even more viral video , that has been viewed almost 2million times in a matter of days, where the woman returns to the platform and forces her way to the exit. An accompanying caption claimed she struck two Disney staffers

Before that, the female guest again stood at the platform, declaring her intention to get off the ride to a staffer who at first refused to allow her to exit

‘I’m getting off!’ she shouts in the clip, slurring her words. Several parkgoers can be heard yelling back, urging the woman to sit down

Still undeterred, the woman goes to to hop the line divider to take her leave, before cops were eventually called. Police would not confirm her identity, but said a woman was removed from the park after causing a disturbance on the ride that same night. She is not facing charges

The heated altercation was recorded by another rider on what was supposed to be a relaxing boat ride at Disney’s EPCOT theme park – famed for its ‘Drink Around the World’ challenge.

The ride is set in the park’s margarita-rife Mexican Pavilion, which has a taco and margarita booth
The viral altercation comes as guests have increasingly aired concerns over the amount of drinking that goes on at Disney’s EPCOT.
Offering drinks at several pop up shops as opposed to sitdown restaurants, the park regularly deals with overly inebriated customers.
‘EPCOT is my favorite Park..but in the last couple of years it has changed,’ Reddit user u/New_Grangee recently wrote on a thread about said subject.
‘My kids laugh at the parents having to push their partners around in the kids strollers at 10 am cause they have had too much already or the ones passed out on the benches.’
‘The World Showcase used to be one of my favorite parts about Disney. Now, I barely want to go,’ Reddit user u/GeneralLeiaAndMe added. ‘The number of intoxicated adults is starting to become ridiculous.’
u/BowTie1989 similarly sniped: ‘Disney should limit drinks on property…period.’
