\nDisney parks are often referred to as the most magical place on Earth. With so many people all in one place, though, it\u2019s not surprising that some pretty strange things happen there on a daily basis. Whether it\u2019s the people visiting the parks, or the people hired to work there, their curious antics have all been caught on camera and posted online for us to enjoy. If you\u2019ve never been to a Disney park before, this is the kind of stuff you could be missing.
\n[post_page_title]Not above the law[\/post_page_title]
\nIt\u2019s easy to forget that the people who dress up as your favorite Disney characters have a life of their own.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/19152343\/122.jpg\")
\nSnow White might seem all smiles and innocence when you see her at Disney World, but underneath the costume is a woman you know nothing about. We can imagine that kids were pretty traumatized when they saw their icons being carted off by the police, and wanted to know what it was that Mickey Mouse had done. Mom and dad probably had a great time answering all their questions.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Being with his kind[\/post_page_title]
\nGiven the permanent smile fixed on Donald Duck\u2019s face, it\u2019s hard to say exactly what\u2019s going on here. On the one hand, it looks like the Disney character is chasing after his brethren as they wander through the park.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124114\/mVGkz6x.jpg\")
\nHowever, he could very easily be shooing them away, trying to keep them out of harm\u2019s way with all the people around. Or, there’s always the possibility that he is just simply trying to make new friends with creatures of his own kind.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Do I look happy?[\/post_page_title]
\nThe point of going to an amusement park is to have fun, but some people haven\u2019t gotten the memo. After this woman\u2019s husband ditched her at the Splash Mountain ride, she made her feelings very clear.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124115\/YNKXt20.jpg\")
\nProps to her for keeping a straight face as she plummeted towards the Earth. It\u2019s hard not to get caught up in the excitement of the ride, especially when everyone around you is screaming their lungs out and having a good time. We\u2019re sure the husband got an earful when the ride was over.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Never too old[\/post_page_title]
\nTalk about a big kid! If you thought that only children could really enjoy themselves at a Disney park, then you were wrong.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124116\/mAO3gE4.jpg\")
\nThis dad seems to be having more fun than the rest of his family, and he\u2019s not afraid to act a little childish when the moment suits it. Sure, his kids might be mortified by their father\u2019s behavior, but from the looks of things, he’s not too bothered about that. If he\u2019s spending his vacation at Disneyland, then he\u2019s going to do things his way.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Don’t worry about Minnie[\/post_page_title]
\nMickey Mouse might have given his heart to Minnie, but that doesn\u2019t mean he can\u2019t still play the field. Given the Disney parks are always filled with people, Mickey probably doesn\u2019t have any trouble finding someone to spend his time with.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124118\/b1GmKeV.jpg\")
\nHowever, whether they\u2019re receptive to his advances is another matter entirely. What would you do if the iconic Disney character turned to you and flashed this sultry look? We get that he might be hard to resist, but we don\u2019t think we could ever see Mickey in that way.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Not my princess[\/post_page_title]
\nMost people go to Disney parks because it\u2019s where their children want to go. Kids have been known to put up a fuss when their parents refused to take them, although it looks like this kid did the opposite.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124119\/MboGYxs.jpg\")
\nYou\u2019d think that being approached by Aurora would put a smile on any child\u2019s face, but apparently, Sleeping Beauty isn\u2019t this girl\u2019s favorite fairytale. Maybe she was hoping for Cinderella or Snow White instead. We certainly wouldn\u2019t turn away a meeting with Aurora if it were offered to us.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Wasting your time[\/post_page_title]
\nGaston spends the whole of Beauty and the Beast believing that he can have any woman he wants, and it ends up being his downfall.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124119\/GWutOry.jpg\")
\nIf you thought the Disney villain would have learned from his past mistakes, though, you\u2019ve got another thing coming. He\u2019s still trying to charm anyone that catches his eye, but he\u2019s still not having much luck. It seems that Belle isn\u2019t the only woman who\u2019s resistant to Gaston\u2019s advances, although hopefully, this one doesn\u2019t have a beast waiting in the wings too.
\n
\n[post_page_title]So embarrassing[\/post_page_title]
\nIf you\u2019re a parent that\u2019s going to a Disney park with your kids, you have to get into the spirit of things. Unless you want to spend the next week miserably following your children around as they bounce from one thing to another, it\u2019ll benefit you to get involved.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124120\/2yGU9gH.jpg\")
\nYou might not like Disney, but this is just one of those many sacrifices you have to make for your kids. Besides, if you embarrass them enough while you\u2019re there, they might not ever want to go again – problem solved. And yes, that also applies to celebrity parents, like Dean Norris.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Throwing tantrums[\/post_page_title]
\nDisney parks aren\u2019t just for the everyday family. Plenty of celebrities love to get their Disney fix every now and again, including actress Drew Barrymore.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124121\/P8AXvBy.jpg\")
\nThe star has made a habit out of taking her children to the theme park, although she doesn\u2019t always have the best time. Just like any other parent, Barrymore has occasionally had to deal with her young ones throwing tantrums when they don\u2019t get their way. Rather than letting it ruin her vacation, though, she just pretends she has no idea what\u2019s going on.
\n
\n[post_page_title]What’s she doing here?[\/post_page_title]
\nThe last thing that you want to do when you\u2019re at one of Disney\u2019s parks is to upset the people that work there.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124122\/qJTOpSU.jpg\")
\nWhile they\u2019re in costume, the actors embody everything there is about their character, so bringing up their enemies isn\u2019t going to go down well. Wearing Ursula on your shirt when you\u2019re visiting Ariel probably won\u2019t get you a great response, although she\u2019ll definitely have something to say to you. It might not be very nice, but what else do you expect?
\n
\n[post_page_title]We mean you no harm[\/post_page_title]
\nSpeaking of inappropriate t-shirts, this one is right up there with the worst of them. Given that Mickey and Minnie are two of Disney\u2019s most iconic characters, wearing a shirt that reads \u201cdead mouse\u201d isn\u2019t ideal.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124122\/lIc688V.jpg\")
\nWe get that deadmau5 is a successful musician who means no harm towards the rodents, but a Disney park probably isn\u2019t the best place to go parading around in his t-shirt. You don\u2019t want to declare war on the company\u2019s most popular characters because that won\u2019t end well for you.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Will you marry me?[\/post_page_title]
\nPeople get very swept up in the moment when they\u2019re at a Disney park, and proposals happen pretty much every day. While it\u2019s usually between visitors, it\u2019s not unknown for a guest to try their luck with one of the characters.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124123\/tO2pRer.jpg\")
\nThis guy got down on one knee and popped the question to Gaston, though it doesn\u2019t look like the answer was yes. Luckily, the proposer didn\u2019t seem too broken-hearted, because he proceeded to ask for several of the princesses\u2019 hand in marriage too. This guy sure wants a spouse.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Now you see me[\/post_page_title]
\nWe can’t help but wonder what Tigger was trying to shield these kids from. He is clearly trying to protect them from seeing something they shouldn’t.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124124\/MADcQu5.jpg\")
\nEither that or he was just being silly old Tigger. We may never really know what exactly is going on in this picture. One thing is for sure, when these children look back on this picture years from now, they’re probably have some sort of interesting memory.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Exploiting the opportunity[\/post_page_title]
\nDisney parks provide some brilliant settings for photos, although there\u2019s always someone who has to take things to the next level.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124125\/FkH6LIi.jpg\")
\nDon\u2019t worry, the guy here wasn\u2019t really knocked down by this cartoon safe, but we have to commend him for finding such an excellent opportunity for a snap. Why not make the most of your visit to the park by getting into the spirit of things? The bigger the effort you put into your photos, the more jealous your friends are going to be when you post them online.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Caught in the moment[\/post_page_title]
\nLike we said, proposals are everywhere at Disney parks. There\u2019s so much magic in these places that people can\u2019t think of anywhere more romantic to pop the question.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124126\/dewILQs.jpg\")
\nHowever, despite the fact that proposals happen all the time here, people are still surprised when they see one for themselves. This bride-to-be was probably blown away when her partner got down on one knee, but not as much as the woman behind her. Even though she has no idea who this couple is, she\u2019s lost for words over their engagement.
\n
\n[post_page_title]I want to go home[\/post_page_title]
\nIt\u2019s the child who\u2019s supposed to be the most excited about going to Disneyland right? Well, apparently the roles are reversed in this family.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124128\/1Btuefw.jpg\")
\nThe couple looks over the moon to be at the place where dreams come true, but the same can\u2019t be said for their child. Rather than immersing themselves in the magic of the park, they\u2019re lying on the ground wishing they were somewhere else. Clearly, this is one family vacation that was done for the parent\u2019s benefit, rather than for the child\u2019s.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Anything for his princess[\/post_page_title]
\nDads tend to get roped into all sorts of things for the sake of their children. Sometimes they enjoy it, other times they don\u2019t, and you can always tell the difference.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124129\/RGg7Doy.jpg\")
\nThe dads who are willing to dress up for their daughter despite being in public are usually the ones who know how to have a good time. They might look foolish, but all they care about is putting a smile on their kid\u2019s face. Besides, it\u2019s not like they look out of place when they\u2019re at a Disney park.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Andy’s coming![\/post_page_title]
\nIf you\u2019re familiar with Toy Story, you\u2019ll know that the toys are only ever animated when there aren\u2019t any humans around. After all, there\u2019d be a legion of kids losing their heads if their cuddly playmates suddenly started talking back to them.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124130\/ADaxcAr.jpg\")
\nThere was a rumor going around that if you were to shout \u201cAndy\u2019s coming\u201d to the toys at a Disney park, they\u2019d all stop what they were doing and pretend to be inanimate. Luckily for them, it\u2019s not true. Otherwise, kids would be shouting it all the time.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Don’t mind me[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen you propose, you want everything to go right. You plan each thing down to the last detail so that it all goes off without a hitch, but it turns out there are some things you simply can\u2019t prepare for.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124131\/xQGWx7n.jpg\")
\nThis guy wanted to pop the question at a Disney park, hopeful that the excitement of being somewhere so magical would convince his girlfriend to say yes. Unfortunately, as someone prepared to catch the special moment on camera, another tourist got in the way. At least she still said yes.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Bathroom’s occupied[\/post_page_title]
\nThe Splash Mountain ride at the various Disney parks provides the perfect opportunity for a captivating photo. Loads of tourists like to mark their time on the ride by doing something incredibly random when it comes to having their picture taken, but these guys take the cake.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124132\/Wm8SZiW.jpg\")
\nObviously, a lot of planning went into this one, with the group bringing along props to make the photo op truly memorable. Considering that Splash Mountain is a water ride, the five of them are definitely on point with their morning routine theme.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Not up to the job[\/post_page_title]
\nTake a look at this picture – can you tell who doesn\u2019t want to be there? While most of the family seems excited to be having their photo taken with Belle, the boys at both ends appear less than thrilled to be involved.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124133\/SfWujkR.jpg\")
\nIt looks like the Princess Protection Agency didn\u2019t do a great job with its new recruits. They could have hired someone with a bit more enthusiasm for the job. Then again, maybe they\u2019re just taking their work very seriously. Security details don’t usually tend to smile, after all.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Behind his back[\/post_page_title]
\nMickey and Minnie Mouse are one of those iconic couples that we imagine will be together forever. However, it seems that while everything looks perfect on the surface, their relationship is somewhat strained behind closed doors.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/28124134\/VAqZDl4.jpg\")
\nTheir problems are apparently so severe that Minnie has sought comfort in the arms of another man, much to Mickey\u2019s devastation. Apparently Goofy hasn\u2019t heard of the bro code, otherwise he wouldn\u2019t be sneaking around with his buddy\u2019s girlfriend. This is certainly one love triangle that we never saw coming.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Underneath the mask[\/post_page_title]
\nWhenever you see someone walking around in a Mickey costume, you might not think about the fact that there\u2019s a real person underneath the mask.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/18083735\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-18-at-10.37.17.jpg\")
\nEven if you remember it\u2019s just someone in a costume, it\u2019s still a shock to see them take off their head and reveal the actor underneath. The character goes from being happy and animated to a shell of themselves, and it really puts a damper on a visitor\u2019s experience. There\u2019s a reason the actors aren\u2019t allowed out of costume when they\u2019re in the park.
\n
\n[post_page_title]We\u2019re all adults here[\/post_page_title]
\nWe already know that Disney is not just for kids, but it can make adults feel just like kids anyway. Many grown-ups want their pictures taken with the Disney characters too, and their photos often come out great.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09103505\/No.-8-Fishy-copy-e1539081390777.jpg\")
\nThis guy was happy to pose with a princess, but insisted on making a strange fishy face when the picture was taken. The princess, being the fun-loving gal that she is, went ahead and posed in much the same way. The result was this priceless photo.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Get her away from me![\/post_page_title]
\nWe get it – the Queen of Hearts is a pretty scary looking character. This terrified child\u2019s reaction makes a lot of sense.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09103505\/tumblr_mlqcpzScHj1sokiolo1_640.jpg\")
\nHe probably doesn\u2019t understand that she is just a regular person dressed up in a very weird costume, so he is justifiably a bit hesitant to approach her. The truth is, we wouldn\u2019t want to get too close to her either, and we know she\u2019s not real. This family should probably try to find some friendlier looking characters for their photos.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Photobomb[\/post_page_title]
\nA good photobomb can make any picture hilarious, especially at a Disney park. These four friends were trying to take a nice photograph to commemorate their trip to Disney, so they posed, smiling, next to a street light in front of the castle.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/18083928\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-18-at-10.39.09.jpg\")
\nThe guy behind them, however, spotted an opportunity and didn\u2019t want to let it go to waste, so he distorted his face, looked toward the camera, and turned the sweet picture into something else entirely.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Kronk wins the race[\/post_page_title]
\nEvery year, there are races at Walt Disney World, part of a weekend event where people dress up as their favorite characters to run their choice of distance.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/18084010\/Screen-Shot-2020-02-18-at-10.39.48.jpg\")
\nThis man ran his race dressed up as Kronk from The Emperor\u2019s New Groove, and even built a covered litter for his back to carry the evil royal adviser, Yzma. It\u2019s quite fitting, since in the film, Kronk runs a long distance with Yzma on his back. This ingenious costume doesn\u2019t look too easy to run in, but certainly makes for a funny sight.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Don\u2019t look[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen you\u2019re taking pictures, it\u2019s usually pretty important to include the faces of the people you are photographing. In this case, however, that proved impossible, and not because of the photographer\u2019s lack of skill.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09103507\/vPQFaTw.jpg\")
\nThis happy family wanted a photo with Belle and the Beast, and the characters obliged. However, the Beast covered the heads of the two kids with his giant paws, and the picture turned from a regular Disney character photo into a hilarious picture worthy of this list.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Say cheese[\/post_page_title]
\nDisney World can be a lot of fun for kids, but it can also be terrifying. Sometimes, when children are very young, they don\u2019t quite understand what\u2019s going on with all of these life-sized animals and characters.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09103507\/tumblr_mlqbt0HBzm1sokiolo1_640.jpg\")
\nWhen Donald Duck posed with his arm around this smiling little girl, her younger brother seemed to think that she was under attack by a giant duck. His reaction is pretty understandable, because if this happened anywhere other than Disney it would certainly be alarming.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Check mate[\/post_page_title]
\nSplash Mountain is one of the best known rides at Disney World, and many people are serious about the famous photo op during the big drop on the ride.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09103508\/splash-mountain-chess.jpg\")
\nThey come ready with props and ideas to make the picture they will receive after the ride unique, memorable, and worthy of putting on their refrigerator. These two friends decided to bring along a chess board (with the pieces glued down, of course) in order to pose as if they are playing a game of chess during the ride.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Bad guys just want to have fun[\/post_page_title]
\nJust because Darth Vader is an evil Jedi master does not mean that he doesn\u2019t want to take a turn on the rides at Disney World. Here, he is pictured riding the flying spaceships on the Astro Orbiter ride in Magic Kingdom.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09103508\/CELhS41W0AARAId.jpg\")
\nWe wonder how it compares to the spacecraft that he is used to – we can\u2019t imagine that such a character would be too impressed by the spinning ride, but he sure looks like he\u2019s having fun.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Mickey Mouse fight club[\/post_page_title]
\nChildren are sometimes put off by the big furry Disney characters. While adults know that they are benevolent and safe, little kids aren\u2019t always so sure about them.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09103509\/mickey-1.jpg\")
\nThis little girl probably didn\u2019t want Mickey Mouse to touch her, so when he came in for a hug, she did the only thing that made sense at the time – try to push him off. The reaction is understandable, because who would want to approached by a strange giant mouse anyway, but it\u2019s definitely not what her parents expected.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Hide and seek[\/post_page_title]
\nIf you were to encounter a wild tiger during breakfast, it would be perfectly logical to throw your body to the floor and hide under the table. This little girl did just that when Tigger approached her family\u2019s table.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09103509\/3d5fc9509d3f6851d89b6d37ef3e0673.jpg\")
\nThe rest of them posed, smiling happily next to the giant fictional cat, but she didn\u2019t want any part of it. The photographer still managed to get her in the photo, but it\u2019s probably not going to be framed and hung on the wall.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Happiest place on earth?[\/post_page_title]
\nDisneyland is often called \u201cthe happiest place on Earth,\u201d but this picture seems to indicate otherwise.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/09103510\/nRbU7Jn.jpg\")
\nThis family posed in front the Sleeping Beauty Castle but instead of smiling as is traditional in photos these days, they all stared straight into the camera with surprisingly serious looks on their faces. We wonder what happened that made them so stoic, because Disneyland is full of rides and fun, but maybe theme parks just aren\u2019t their thing. The picture is strange because it\u2019s simply not what you expect.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Family time[\/post_page_title]
\nPlanning and booking a family vacation is all well and good on paper, but when the date actually comes around and you\u2019re forced to spend every waking hour together, things can be somewhat different to how you imagined it.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/18110413\/oB7cS1d.jpg\")
\nHere is an example of a family divide taking place at Disney – the parents are fed up with their two daughters moaning and groaning, and the daughters are sick of their mom and dad constantly embarrassing them with too much PDA.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Look at the camera[\/post_page_title]
\nProbably the best part about a trip to Disneyland when you\u2019re young is meeting all of the real-life characters you once only saw in the movies. If you\u2019re lucky, you can even get a signed autograph as well.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/18110507\/7go6DO1.jpg\")
\nHowever, it seems the little guy here has got far more than he originally bargained for. It might only be a costume, but the dress of this Disney park worker here has certainly caught the eye of one particularly intrigued guest.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Bon Appetit![\/post_page_title]
\nGetting yourself a funny on-ride photo is harder than you think, and it can sometimes take a lot of re-queuing to make sure it\u2019s the perfect shot. First, you decide what pose you want to do, then you need to work out where the camera is, and then you need to strike the pose at precisely the right time.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/18110719\/4bbNWwU.jpg\")
\nThis \u2018Splash Landings\u2019 on-ride photo here is definitely one of the best we\u2019ve ever seen – so good, in fact, that they\u2019ve even managed to use props.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Park guests[\/post_page_title]
\nThey say that Disney World is the most magical place on earth, and all you need to do is step one foot inside one of the parks to truly understand why. Because all of Disney\u2019s parks are full of so much fun, laughter, and wonder, they also tend to pull in a wide variety of guests…
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/18110805\/O9zOofp.jpg\")
\nFrom small children wanting to meet Minnie and Mickey, to older adults wanting a getaway. Just like this man here with his positive attitude and commitment to looking the part.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Terrified[\/post_page_title]
\nFor some theme park-goers, no ride is deemed too big or scary, but for others, the line is drawn at the teacups or the carousel. However, it\u2019s always good to conquer your fears and give something a go that you wouldn\u2019t necessarily normally try out.
