Video: Apparent Drunk Guest Jumps Off Attraction At EPCOT

Disney Guests who visit EPCOT tend to take on the "Drink Around the World" challenge. In the back of the theme park is World Showcase, which includes many countries worldwide, such as Mexico, Morocco, Italy, France, and more.

Within each country are architectural buildings to allow Guests to feel as though they are genuinely in a different country, as well as specialty food and drink offerings. For example, in Mexico, you can find a taco and margarita booth; in Italy, you can find a pizza window and wine room.

With the "Drinking Around the World" challenge, some Guests take it too far and get a bit too drunk, which happened over the weekend at EPCOT.

The incident was caught on video and shared on TikTok in two parts by user @Shianne_1995. Just before the exit of the Gran Fiesta Tour, there was a bit of a backup as many boats were at a standstill as Cast Members helped to load and unload Guests in and out of the ride vehicles. That is when one of the Guests became impatient to leave and jumped out of her ride vehicle.

The Disney Guest can be seen stumbling along the emergency exit platform at the water's edge, indicating she was intoxicated, as Cast Members told her to return to her seat.

Seemingly in the same boat as the drunk Guest, someone else can be heard yelling to Cast Members, "Call security now!" While other Guests beg Cast Members to let them get off the boat, however, for safety reasons, they cannot restart the attraction or move the boats forward while a guest stands on the platform.

The drunk Guest can then be heard arguing with others before a Cast Member says, "Ma'am, you have thirty seconds, or I'm coming back there, and I'm taking you down!" The Guest then walked over to the boat, took the hand of someone in the boat, and started to get back in the ride vehicle.

In part two of the incident, the video shows the Guest standing on the platform again, yelling, "I'm getting off!" She then proceeds to unhook a rope by the loading area and walks into the backstage room, which is off-limits to Guests. A Cast Member is heard telling her she cannot leave, but the Guest ignores the employee's instructions, climbs over the rope, and disappears.

The Cast Member is then heard telling the Guest she will not be leaving the building. Reports indicate security awaited her, and she received a lifetime ban from Walt Disney World.

The caption of the video reads, "She screamed. She tried to fight with the people in the boat behind her. She swung on two young workers. Scared kids and pissed everyone off. Then ran and had to be taken out by security."

It is important to note that climbing out of a ride vehicle while in motion is extremely dangerous and could result in serious injuries.
