This Disney adult better ‘bacca up before she gets Chew‘ed out.
A woman visiting Disney World has come under fire online after she was seen “ruining” the moment some kids were meeting “Star Wars” characters, in a childish attempt to startle the actor.
TikTok user Maria, who posts under the username @nightmareadventures, filmed the interaction at Hollywood Studios in Disney World on Sept. 22, showing the woman approach Chewbacca and Rey who are talking with some children.
She then pushes Chewbacca from behind before appearing to be led away by a Disney World worker.
“Because of that, we might have to leave the area,” the actor playing Rey said to the crowd. “So good to see you all.”
“When a grown adult ruins the experience for the kids because she thought it would be ‘funny,’ ” Maria wrote on her video, which has been viewed 3.4 million times.
“Poor kids stood there confused when Rey and Chewie walked away,” she added.
Commenters were furious at the adult prankster.
The woman (right) pushed the Disney character Chewbacca and tried to run away. TikTok/@nightmareadventures“Should be a lifetime ban for putting hands on cast members,” one user wrote.
“She could have seriously hurt the actor,” another said.
“They’ve only recently let characters start directly interacting like this since after covid and people are gonna ruin it permanently,” pointed out another.
Disney World’s policy on guests interacting with characters is clear that hugs, high-fives and photo ops are permitted — but acts of aggression or violence in any capacity are strictly prohibited inside the parks.
Recently, an ex cast member went viral for detailing the reasons Disney character actors can be fired — such as accepting tips or instances when a particular actor gets “too famous,” and it becomes an operational problem, as visitors come to the park to see a specific person.
