A viral video has captured a chaotic scene at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort in Disney World. An arrest was made after a shirtless man was seen repeatedly bashing into a door in an attempt to force his way inside.
The footage has spread rapidly on the internet and has drawn the attention of theme park guests and Disney fans alike. The incident took place on March 23, when a TikTok user named @livelifewithjules recorded the man using his back to smash into a hotel door, allegedly attempting to get into a room he believed he had access to.
The Orange County Sheriff’s office responded after multiple guests called to complain about the disturbance, according to a report made by the NY Post. The man then continued this behavior for several minutes before law enforcement arrived to take him into custody.
What Was the Man’s Motive at Disney?
The exact reason behind the man attempting to open the door in such an aggressive way has not yet been confirmed by authorities. Several eyewitnesses claim that he was highly intoxicated and might have been attempting to get into what he thought was his own hotel room. There is no verified police statement yet as to the man's motives, if he had the wrong keys, had been locked out, or if this was due to another dispute.
At the time of writing, there has not been a public press release by the Orange County Sheriff's Office. Walt Disney officials have not commented on the specifics of this issue, either. The video, however, continues to rack up millions of views and comments, with most users trying to speculate what led to this man’s behavior in the first place.
