The "Disney security is everywhere" stuff is a myth that Disney happily lets perpetuate.
Yup.

Also probably wouldn’t be news if everyone didn’t have a cell phone on them.
It took Security quite a while to show up. That surprised me.
It really didn't. Less than 4 minutes. By the time you account for it actually getting reported (which may have been a minute or two), their receiving the call, mobilizing and getting there through a large park full of people... It was actually pretty prompt.
Right. I mean, what do people expect, that there is a security officer every 10 feet like trash cans, ready to jump in on any trouble that may arise? That's not a theme park, it's a police state!

Okay, throw her in the hole.
The people fighting all knew each other. I wouldn't have jumped in. Domestic disputes can get ugly. You try to help and now all of them are fighting you.
The "Disney security is everywhere" stuff is a myth that Disney happily lets perpetuate. They want people to feel safe and if everyone thinks people are in the woodwork who will jump out at the first sign of trouble they will act better. The reality is it is difficult to manage 65,000+ people in a theme park and they can only do so much. They can be in far off locations when stuff happens and not all staff in an area have a walkie to call for immediate help. People always say it happens so quietly that you don't notice. It doesn't. I have seen enough stuff happen at the parks and nobody does anything or magically appear to calm the situation. Everyone thinks when stuff happens and Disney is able to "keep it quiet" like the company can cover up anything, real conspiracy theory stuff.
Heck, I had someone tell me I was lying about something I saw because "no way Disney lets that happen in the park" LOL. People get too lost in the Disney bubble and hype. Usually that is okay, but we all know stuff gets stolen, fights happen, and people cause issues at Disney, be safe and smart.
What I really can't believe is how many people just stood there watching while two men punched women. The reaction these days is to stay and watch or record it. I know some bystanders eventually got involved, but how much does it take?
It was an unfortunate event. I'm not put off by the response time of security, there very well might have been someone there from minute 1, but would be foolish to step in solo. That is a quicker response time than you would get just about anywhere. It's more wise to call in backup with good accounting of the situation to the responders do not go in blind.
I can only speak from my viewpoint knowing I/we would be there with kids. Neither DH or I would step in, as we're not risking ourselves with our kids there. On the flip side, neither would we have stood around and gawked either. I don't understand that. We would have walked away - our kids don't need to witness that. We also would have tried to find a security officer, and also likely would have called 911.
Very good point. Quite honestly, one guy against the brawling lot of them, wouldn't stand a chance.

Well needless to say, we did not do much that afternoon besides continue to watch this training lol.
It would if it happened on a cruise ship or an airliner. They get as bad, if not worse, treatment by the press than themeparks.Really, sadly, this wouldn't be news if it had happened just about anywhere else.
99% of the comments I’ve read are not racist in the slightest. People both black and white are disgusted by this family because of their actions not because of the color of their skin.after seeing the racist comments i was hoping no one would talk about it anymore
