Disney attractions shut down all the time. People drop their Minnie ears on the ride tracks, rides break down due to technical difficulties, and sometimes, Cast Members are forced to handle inappropriate behavior.
“it’s a small world”
On November 26th, guests on “it’s a small world” at Disneyland Resort were stuck for an extended period of time. During the temporary closure, one guest exited the boat and caused a scene.
According to @AshleyEsqueda on Twitter/X, a man was caught walking around the set of “it’s a small world” without his clothing.

This is why we can’t have nice things!! That SHOULd be a ban for life!👍
What is wrong with people? How shameful.
I guess it was a very small world indeed – small minded to say the least. I agree he should have been banned – who thinks about stripping off in WDW
what is wrong with people these days. Have they lost their sense of decency. He should be arrested and charged with public indecency.
In the short 3 second video you can clearly see his briefs so not quite naked (unless he removed those later) but still definitely not appropriate.
I have a serious problem that he was just “escorted” from the property. Being retired law enforcement I believe there is at least one Deputy Sheriff for the county on the property. This individual was in need of two things: either arrest or evaluation at a mental facility. No way he’s walking away from being naked at DW.
I believe in cattle prods to round up the touron and I can almost guarantee that he will be banned for life. I pity the cast members who had to handle this stupidity.
To JuneW: He removed the rest of his clothes after the initial video was taken and was completely naked.
To tom: By “escorted,” they mean he was bodily carried out by multiple people with some sort of a covering they tossed over his private parts. He was then arrested. So, he neither walked out nor walked away.
I’m assuming this man had some kind of psychotic break rather than was just an a$$hole. Seems more likely.
