Police were called after a man at Disneyland suddenly decided to streak through the 'It’s a small world' ride.
Authorities in Anaheim, California were called to the theme park on Sunday just after 1.30pm local time after reports of a man streaking through the area in his boxers and climbing the ride. During the incident, the man eventually made himself fully nude.
The accused man, 26, forced the ride to be stopped briefly as Disney cast members reacted to the incident and tried to keep things calm. Nobody at the scene was harmed.

Later, a man was visible completely nude near the tunnel entrance of the area in broad daylight, as bemused people watched on. Members of the Anaheim police could be seen carrying an individual away while they were scantily clad.
"Oh God he's going to break all the stuff," one person can be heard saying. "Stop, Stop! I need you to stop," a cast member said.
Some shouted the man was an 'idiot' (youtube/@KTLA5)"Lol was on the it's a small world ride at Disneyland and there was a random guy half naked walking around the animatronics," a person who attended the theme park said on X. "Then I saw a video of him running out naked and jumping into the water. What a day to be here. Literally was stuck on that ride for an hour to get off."
Others scolded the man as he was taken away by police, branding him an "idiot," for allegedly stripping at a park where there were a number of children.
Last month 71 people onboard the iconic monorail cars at Disney World in Florida when it became stuck on its tracks. Reedy Creek Fire Department and Orange County Fire Rescue attended the scene, where people were reported to be trapped on board as workers carried out repairs.
There was 'a random guy half naked walking around the animatronics,' one person said (youtube/@KTLA5)"There was a loud bang explosion, and then we kind of saw a big flash of light. After that, the monorail slowed down," trapped passenger Kris Lenk said to Fox News.
A statement from Disney said: "[The] monorail experienced a flat tire near the EPCOT parking lot toll plaza. No guests or cast members have reported injuries, and all passengers were safely evacuated."
