A Disneyland park guest in Anaheim, California, was arrested by local authorities and escorted off the property after stripping off his clothes during the It’s A Small World attraction.
The incident occurred Sunday afternoon during the busy Thanksgiving weekend. A Disneyland Resort representative told Deadline that the guest exited the ride during the ride and the attraction was stopped when park operators were made aware of the situation.
After the guest was arrested, the individual was completely removed from the property following a report by Anaheim police.
It’s A Small World was closed for about an hour as park operators inspected the attraction. No guests were physically injured during the incident and the ride resumed at around 3:00 p.m. local time.
The video of the incident went viral on social media and snippets were shared. A video shows the guest walking around the set of “It’s A Small World” shirtless.

Another video shows the person sitting and touching the animatronics decorating the ride in the Fantasyland area of Disneyland Park.
A park guest can be heard telling the speedster to “please stop” and “sit down” as he walks through one of the ride’s scenes, which is set in India. Another park guest fears the person will ruin and damage the props.
