Another fight has broken out at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom and has been captured on video.
A Cast Member seemingly broke up the fight, but not before having to follow the Guests involved to ensure another fight did not break out before security arrived.
Fight Breaks Out In Tomorrowland
On July 9, 2023, a fight broke out between multiple Guests at Magic Kingdom. The incident occurred just outside of the Tomorrowland Speedway attraction, and seemingly involved three different Guests. It is unclear if all three Guests were part of the same party, or if they were of different families, but a bystander captured the fight on film.
The video shows three Guests punching and shoving one another before a Tomorrowland Cast Member came over and was able to break it up. Two of the Guests then walked away as the third Guest and the Cast Member followed close behind. The Cast Member tried to have the third Guest sit down on the bench to calm down, however, he is seen brushing the Cast Member off and following the other two Guests close behind. The video ends shortly after. It is more than likely security shows up at some point, although that is not shown on camera.

It is unclear at this time if any of the parties involved were arrested, but it is more than likely that all three Guests have been banned from Walt Disney World.
Other Recent Incidents At Walt Disney World
In May of this year, a brawl broke out at the entrance of Disney’s Magic Kingdom theme park. Located just past the entrance gates, Disney installed a new 100th Anniversary sign, celebrating 100 years of The Walt Disney Company, which seemed to be the reason behind the fight.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office responded to the fight at the theme park around 2:30 p.m. on Monday, May 15 after one family was reportedly standing in front of the 100th anniversary sign, when another family wanted to take a photo where the first family was standing. The second family reportedly asked the other family to move out of the way, which is when a family member punched another member of the other family in the face.
A bystander, who witnessed the brawl, caught the incident on video. “Did you see how it broke out?” one Disney Guest says in the video while another is heard saying, “I was just walking right here, and I saw it just happening.”
According to Fox35Orlando, at least one person was medically treated at the scene following the brawl. That person reportedly did not want to press charges. Two other Guests were removed from the theme park, according to Orange County deputies.
The Blast also reported on an incident involving a Disney Guest, visiting from Oklahoma, who was arrested after having too many drinks, attacking a Cast Member, and then running into a backstage area of EPCOT.
Last year, a full-on brawl broke out between Guests at Magic Kingdom near Peter Pan’s Flight. The families involved threw punches, ripped one another’s shirts, and were heard screaming at one another.
