What’s going on at Disney????

A Chicago tourist who was angry she didn’t have a FastPass to Tower of Terror ended up punching a Disney World cast member in the face and began pushing buttons, which the employee warned could have affected the ride, according to a sheriff’s report.
The 23-year-old woman wasn’t charged -- the Disney worker didn’t want to press charges, said the Orange County Sheriff’s Office report.

The attack began in the evening of July 13 when the Chicago woman and her group were upset their FastPasses weren’t valid for the popular ride at Tower of Terror that often draws a long wait at Hollywood Studios.

The incident did not happen in the elevator shaft portion of the ride but in the pre-show area where visitors are ushered into the creepy library to watch “The Twilight Zone” host Rod Serling’s introduction.

A 23-year-old Disney worker offered to help them with the FastPasses, but the group only became more angry.
On her podium phone, the worker called for a supervisor to request security.

That’s when the Chicago woman “began pushing buttons on her ride podium,” the report said.
The Disney worker asked the Chicago woman to stop and when she was ignored, she pushed the tourist’s hand away from the buttons. She got a punch in the face, the report said.
The scene kept escalating.

“The family continued to yell profanities and record her with their phones," the report said.
The woman and her group left Tower of Terror as the worker spoke with security. But they were soon found by security.
When the sheriff’s office responded to the call, the worker’s eye was swelling, although she declined treatment.

Disney has issued a lifetime ban on the Chicago woman.

That would be an odd thing to do. If somebody struck me while I was only doing my job, you are damn right I'd press charges. Disney does not pay enough for that particular job to sit there and take abuse like that.

Disney kinda makes their own rules. Youd be surprised what people do just to get a job there. Its rediculous

And once again ... when the hands start flying, Goofy is nowhere to be found.

I'm beginning to think Goofy isn't Scottish at all.

Sends a bad message to the public. Ok, so I can hit that employee and not have to worry about charges. Bullshit.

Disneyland has very complicated law enforcement jurisdictions.

If it happened in Frontierland, there are no laws against fighting.

If it happened in Tomorrowland, the police bots would kill both of them.

And in Fantasyland, the two women would roll around on the ground during the fight and then inexplicably start making out with each other.

Never been there

No desire to go

Doesn't sound like fun

Sounds expensive

A fool and his money soon part.

Sounds like an afternoon at Mile High

Breaking news, its happening everywhere. We just dont hear about the person mad about the price of a can of beans at the grocery store and throws the can and hits the manager in the face.


The level of anger in this country needs to be lowered by everyone.

They wanted me to work for them. I interviewed with them at X rate. Second interview went well and offered the job except at a rate 40% less than the original rate. I told them to **** off. I'm assuming some people take the significantly lower rate or they wouldn't be trying that underhanded shit.

Agreed. This morning I got into a right lane on hwy thinking I was good from the middle lane and did not notice a motorcycle at all to the back right of me...the guy honked and I noticed and gave him room to get in front. He then turned around and gave me a "what the hell" shrug/look and I stuck my hand up and said sorry my bad. He then waved back and was good. I expected to get a finger or something...it was cool that he understood I made the mistake and luckily avoided an accident. I'll take that experience into account if I get cutoff or whatever not to get pissed off right away... sometimes shit happens

You most certainly did not.

You imagined a noisy, overwieght black woman. Second choice would be a methed out, tatted up white woman with a cigarette in her hand.

The best thing about reading this place on a phone is that when I scrolled down last night without the handles alongside the posts I knew 2 things:

1) This was clearly a DeBerg thread
2) This is clearly a Rain Man post.

One of you should be honored....the other, not so much.

Lol. I most generally use my phone to browse.

Sometimes I'm surprised but most generally not. People who post quite a bit are easy to tell apart. I'm pretty good at mult detection because of it I think

The family at Disneyland has now invaded Disney World.
