Two Guests visiting EPCOT at Walt Disney World in Florida recently decided to cool off by laying down in the water of a fountain pool inside the theme park -- something off-limits.

A TikTok user caught the incident on video and shared it to social media to let others know "what not to do at Disney."

When visiting EPCOT, one Guest caught two other Guests lying down, fully clothed, in a fountain pool inside the France pavilion of World Showcase. The two Guests, seen in purple shirts, are relaxing in the water with drinks in their hands.

To be clear, this is against the rules at Disney, but it is unknown how long they were inside the pool. If Disney security caught them, they would likely be escorted out of the Park and perhaps even banned for life.

Many fans quickly commented on the video, seemingly angry at these Guests for feeling "entitled." One user commented, "And they never saw the inside of a Disney park again," while another wrote, "So trashy. I wish you had stuck around to see them escorted out.'".

A third chimed in, "How to get banned from Disney*."

Disney Parks have rules and regulations for the safety of both the Guests and Cast Members. Technically, these Guests were breaking the rules, which could have led to an escort from the Park; however, it is unclear what the consequences were for this family.

And more recently, a Guest visiting Walt Disney World from California was hospitalized in December after another Disney Guest bit off a part of her middle finger during an argument at EPCOT. During Harmonious, the now-retired fireworks show at EPCOT, a fight broke out between two Guests — the California woman and her family and Emily, a 26-year-old woman from Pennsylvania.

After scratching, kicking, and even biting, Emily attempted to flee the scene, but the family reported her to Cast Members. Later on, the woman visiting Disney World from California noticed she was bleeding, to which a sheriff's deputy "observed a chunk of the meaty portion of her middle finger was missing," per the report.
