A Disneyland streaker landed in a big world of trouble with police after wandering through the It’s a Small World Ride completely naked.
Videos circulating across social media on Sunday showed the unidentified 26-year-old man (per People Magazine) walking through It’s a Small World in just his glasses and underwear, leaving his shoes next to a pile of clothes he left lying around somewhere on the ride. As you can see in the videos taped by @magic.with.maegra (identified by EW as Meagan Carmona) and @iheartdisneyland — compilated by Twitter/X user Disney Scoop Matt — the boats slowed to a crawl as the guest climbed up the Taj Mahal set of the iconic attraction, sat in the inflatable fountain, and walked off as a Cast Member yelled at him to sit down.

“When you get stuck on Small World, weird things happen lol he just pushed the boat behind us… he is just some guy,” @iheartdisneyland wrote on Instagram. “We were stuck on the ride for about an hour and 15 minutes. Thankfully we are safe and got off safely.”
Another set of NSFW videos shared by Hunter Kost showed the man coming out of the tunnel underneath the ride’s castle and jumping into the water completely naked as a security guard stopped him from the other side of the canal. The second video showed security and police officers dragging the streaker out of Disneyland as another man shouted “Idiot! In front of all these kids!”
Shortly after, It’s a Small World was reopened at 3 p.m. PT upon further investigation. No injuries were reported by any of the attendees as a result of the incident.
According to The Orange County Register, Anaheim Police arrested the man on suspicion of indecent exposure and being under the influence of a controlled substance. The department spokesperson said he was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
The man streaking in It’s a Small World at Disneyland is the only the latest bizarre incident at a Disney park after its sister park Magic Kingdom at Disney World in Orlando saw a wild bear breaking in and shut down 10 rides. Thankfully, no one was hurt during that episode, either.
