Video captures streaker in Disneyland's 'It's a Small World'; man arrested
ANAHEIM, Cali. (KTLA) — Disneyland guests on “It’s a Small World” got an unexpected and unwelcome show Sunday when a man stripped nearly naked and got up close and personal with some of the set pieces on the iconic ride.
Officers with the Anaheim Police Department responded to the theme park at around 1:30 p.m. to assist Disney security with the incident.
Video of the streaker obtained by Nexstar's KTLA shows the man, eerily lit in blue, orange and pink lights, walking around nearly in the buff to the sound of Christmas music.
“I am on Small World and there was a streaker, I cannot believe this happening,” Ashley Esqueda posted to X, formerly Twitter.
Disneyland officials told KTLA that the man stepped out of the ride's vehicle as the attraction was in operation and that park employees stopped the ride as soon as they were made aware of the situation.
“At some point, somebody snapped him outside of the ride ... and it looks like he went for the full birthday suit look out in the sunshine,” TMZ reported.
Indeed, in another video (seen in the video player above) the man is seen fully naked and wading in the water near the ride’s entrance as a worker approaches.
His clothes were photographed sitting in a pile on the floor inside.
The 26-year-old man was arrested for indecent exposure and being under the influence of a controlled substance. He was first taken to a hospital as a precaution, Anaheim police told KTLA.
His name was not immediately released.
