Watch: Brawl breaks out between families at Disney World
By: The Telegraph
A brawl broke out at Disney World after a family refused to move for a photo opportunity.
At least one person received medical treatment after the group started throwing punches at each other at the Florida resort, with video footage showing one man falling to the ground as Disney employees called for back-up.
The fight began when one family asked another to move along so that they could take a picture in front of the 100th-anniversary sign, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.
According to police, a larger family stood in the area where a smaller one was taking a photo at around 2.30pm on Monday.
When a family member positioned in front of the sign asked someone from the larger group to move, a person in the larger group began throwing punches.
The families could be seen shouting and cursing at each other in a video before officials arrived at the scene to break them up, with a man lying on the floor having difficulty getting up.

"Did you see how it broke out?" a person can be heard saying in the video.
"I was just walking right here, and I saw it just happening."
Someone who was injured during the incident declined to press charges.
Two people from the larger family were told to leave the park, according to Disney.
Brawls breaking out in Disney theme parks are not an unusual occurrence. In December, Disney warned guests at their California and Florida parks to be on their best behaviour after an uptick in violent outbursts.
In the "Know Before You Go" section of their website, Disney added that guests could be kicked out if they behaved inappropriately.
Disneyland's warning for its California park said: "We ask all who come to this happy place to treat others with respect, kindness and compassion.
"To help guests have a safe and enjoyable experience, we regularly update our Disneyland resort rules."
Disney also asked guests to show "common courtesy" to employees and other cast members by "not using profanity or engaging in unsafe, illegal, disruptive or offensive behaviour, jumping lines or saving places in lines for others".

It seems that the most sacred places in America are no longer free of violence and mayhem. Disneyworld [&] Disneyland are places were families go for simple family entertainment. For many it is a once in a lifetime trip. A place where memories are made. [deleted]
Let's think about what happened here. One family asks another to step aside so that a picture can be taken in front of a memorable background.
The other family refuses that request?
Why would that be? What kind of people would do that?
According to this report:
When a family member positioned in front of the sign asked someone from the larger group to move, a person in the larger group began throwing punches.
The assaulted victim may be afraid to file charges. Why isn't Disney filing charges?
There are so many questions that won't be answered.
Dude, what planet have you been living on? Those places have been a hot, swealty, line sitting nightmare for years.
When you wish upon a star
I’ll beat your ass right where you are
Left cross, right cross, uppercuts
Will come to you
Certainly not normal human beings. Who would do such a thing?
Lol .... Disney stresses people out a lot more than they would like to admit.
But the rides are fantastic!
You mean the long lines?
Long lines, high cost of everything, rude people, nasty traffic getting in and out ... etc, etc
I want to talk on that, but I can't get into it right now.
We have adults who are incredibly emotionally fragile who lack impulse control or the ability to handle inconvenience filled with ungovernable rage.
Giant two year olds who never developed.
which one was the black family? i know one is involved somehow or this wouldnt have been seeded.
When racists accuse others of being racist.
Classic
Probably both.
Disgusting...............................but it is what it is. One of each color were involved. But you just HAD to find that racist bullshit element didn't you.
Sorry, we know the routine in this corner of NT.
What do you want to bet it was the black family that wouldnt move out of the way?
Who gives a fuck? You have missed the point completely..........AGAIN. Maybe a quote from the very first comment may help
It doesn't say. Do you know the answer?
Tell us why it is important?
Well, you know we live in a degraded country and all--why would anyone bother to be polite and move a few feet so another family could take a photo?
No, you have invented “that routine” in your head.
Completely in your head.
Most likely.

The only one interjecting race here is you.
The article doesn't mention race.
Not one single post mentions race until you magically appear to introduce the race card.
Are race & Trump the only damn thing you base your existence on?

I thought that it was seeded because the fight broke out at Disney World.
More proof of your bigotry and likely racism as well.
You people?
Sad!
No, I think the expectation may be, if it involves black folks, that it must not be seeded ......
You people? that's a racist comment, plus from reading your posts it there another conclusion we could come too?
Does that tie to the soft racism of low expectations we see from the left? It's not news worthy because we don't expect any better?
For some folks .... many times the ones yelling racism the loudest and the most often
You may be right. Progressives like some articles that call out Blacks and take offense at others. Although this one didn't call out any racial category.
well yeah but we live in a racist nation so no wonder why that's important to some.
We have been getting better over the years.
Just another day in Joe Biden's America.
“Just another day in Joe Biden's America”
Good gawd. The desire to place blame on this administration is never ending. Maybe another subcommittee headed by Jimmy is in order. Desperate times call for disparate measures.
Similar to the last administration? Sure it is........
Just following the playbook created by the left during the previous admin.
Good gawd, Joe Biden is leader of the free world. What Biden says is supposed to matter a lot. Or, so we are told.
Has Biden used the bully pulpit of the Oval Office to provide an example of comprise, respect, and peaceful resolution of differences?
All this racism crap started with Obama, when the lefties started accusing any criticism of him as racist. And all he did was continue to fan the flames
How did he fan the flames?
How are people making this political or racial? Are those seriously the only lenses through which you can see the world?
Cuz some people are gigantic assholes who really have nothing going on in their lives.
Aside from the fact that going to these places now means standing in line for hours in the sun for a grand total of 15mins of fun, these retarded incidents are why my wife and I won't go there.
The last time I was at Disneyland was in like 2015 and only because my wife's friend worked there and could get us in for free. Because we were all adults we mostly just hung out, shot the shit, rode a few rides and called it a day.
Taking children there these days is tantamount to child abuse.
I am assuming that this is news because it never happens anyplace else on the planet?
Pretty sure this was only found and posted because Desantis is a bitch and warring against Disney and the poster is a complete tool. \
It isn't a real story, and is not even worth knowing about for a national or international audience except in the overall "culture war" being waged by the extremist right wing in America.
Disney will be SO relieved!
Whew!

Maybe the authors should have checked in with the MORS (Ministry of Real Stories) before they posted it.
Big brother apparently disapproves.
I can assure you that assuming that is foolhardy.
Of course it happens elsewhere, but that doesn't have anything to do with this being news.
