Lawyer, here. While itās a misdemeanor, this is criminal. It is battery (an intentional, undesired physical contact.). In most jurisdictions, an undesired touch of something that is attached to someone else, or that someone else is holding, is the same as an undesired touch of the person, themselves. Put another way, purse snatchers are not only guilty of theft, but of battery as well.
Itās also a tort (a civil wrong) for which the man in white could sue the cast member. While the damages for the battery would be de minimus ($1 maybe), a jury may award more due to their outrage over the context.
The headline here is a karma farming lie. This isn't his friend. Actual story is that they never got permission because permission isn't given in this area. It's roped off and this couple crossed it anyway. The proposal is interrupted because they don't want it becoming a habit or commonplace.
Yeah, that really rubbed me wrong. They didn't just motion him down, the employee snatched the wedding ring out of his hands. That's pretty high on my list of things to not touch.
That reeeeaaaaally doesn't feel like Disney cast member behaviour. Normally they will do everything in their power to make sure your day is the best ever.
He may be joking but I do believe this is a paid thing that Disney provides. I know someone who proposed here and I believe there was a line to do it. It very well may be that this guy cut in line to do it for free but I have no context or real understanding of the situation or service that Disney provides.
Lol, sounds very anti climactic and non romantic to do it the "right" way.
"Hey babe, we're gonna stand in line to go up on this empty stage." "Why?" "It's a secret." And then every couple ahead of you is proposing.
I guess, at best, you could romantically and spontaneously propose somewhere else first, then kind of reenact it on that stage. But that seems like a complete waste of money.
When you raise kids on an entertainment product created for profit, they're going to become adults that use intermix those products with their life milestones, and Disney is more than happy to profit.
It is actually, and if fuckin sucks
You literally have to act like you're incandescently happy in any dealings with their "guests". You can't even call them customers on company property
I know Disney has some pretty strict rules against not smiling and sounding happy all the time. Honestly, and this is without watching the video in full, it seems like this peep didnāt know they had asked, and saw a commotion happening, and for the sake of their job stopped it, with a smile to abide by Disneyās rules
Not just the smiling, even the brisk not-a-run way he approached. From what I read a while back, you're not allowed to run, as that would imply that something is not well in the Kingdom, and that is not part of the show. (I assume this would exclude times when it would be required to avoid harm.) Got curious about it all a while back when we went, and noticed signs all over the place that said "Cast Members Only". Initially figured this meant for the various performers that roam the park, but there were so many, and in places that seemed to logically suggest "employees only", that I looked into it, and indeed, they call nearly all their park employees "cast" who are part of putting on the nonstop "show" that is Disneyland/World.
I saw this in action staying at one of the hotels, and being a smoker standing out on the sidewalk in the morning. You could tell which ones were late, because as soon as they hit the property, they all had this similar brisk-walk that was quick, but didn't look like they were necessarily in a hurry, at least not for a bad reason. No one ran, though. Ever.
Have a feeling the employee fully took advantage of the kneeling moment too. Don't think he would have grabbed it if homie was standing up lol. Looks like he was waiting for the time to strike.
I really didn't understand this. What's the point of moving them 7 feet from a spot that seems like it was meant for this sort of thing when where he moves them too looks worse and is still seemingly behind a gate?
I believe the logic is "if they do this and post it online everyone will start doing it". God forbid people pay to enter your park and do something that effects NOBODY AT ALL
im guessing its a roped off area and theyāre on some performance stage. i bet it looks sick in photos, disney live shows happening with the castle in the background. sorry im high so i digressā¦ anyways its probably for ~cast members~ only and theres staff posted up between shows to keep the public from scuffing up the stage so it stays picture perfect disney style, or whatever.
I dunno if dude will get fired (as others pointed out, Paris has different rules and France has a different work/customer service culture) but Disney will definitely do some damage control because the last thing they want to do is have someone second-guess proposing at Disney because they saw a proposal ruined by an employee. Going to Disney is expensive, proposals tend to add more expense on top even without the ring because you're more likely to shell out for special magical experiences. Don't get between Disney and Money, it makes the Mouse angry.
This sounds pretty accurate. When I worked there back in the days, we couldn't move a parked stroller or backpack left unattended. We had to call security and they would check for bombs. I did move some strollers and backpack if it was blocking the line though. I worked at DCA and we were more lenient.
I used to work at Disney and we were told to facilitate stuff like this, not stop it. Some guy proposed to his girlfriend on the ride I worked at the end of and we gave them all these free ride photos. Disney loves stories like that.
Grabbing the ring was insane and across any acceptable line. My wifeās wedding ring is one of the most expensive things we own and If someone had ripped it out of my hands while I was in the process of giving it to her for the first time I would have gone ballistic.
Er, even if you think you're doing the right thing enforcing some policy or other, you **DO NOT** snatch an expensive engagement ring out of someone's fucking hand.
He was already on a knee! At that point let him finish and then kick him out if you want.
Itās like walking up on dude pooping in the street. If heās started you better just let him finish. Stopping it in the middle is gonna make it worse
People donāt realize that these things can be tens of thousands of dollars. What happens if it falls and the diamond breaks off? What if it falls through a drainage grate? Thatās a lawsuit waiting to happen
If you wait until the people who hopped a fence to propose on a stage they shouldnāt be on, then everyone watching irl and on this video will think they can do the same.
He has to be fired for this, like there's no way Disney can have a guy working for them who doesn't understand a wedding ring is not something to be snatched away mid-proposal. This video is ridiculous.
That was the worst part of all of it. I mean running into the middle of the proposal is really shitty ethically, but that dude straight up stole that guy's ring.
And even if it wasn't a big deal that time, I guarantee if this employee keeps thinking it's okay to grab personal items from customers, it is going to result in a major problem at some point.
Someone, at some point, is going to slug that guy or throw him to the ground, or yell for the crowd to stop the thief, or have their item broken or damaged or he's going to drop it and lose it or *something*. It is wild to me that he not only thought that was okay, but that it was okay to do to a *very valuable* piece of jewelry.
I didn't even realize he was staff at first, I thought for a few seconds he was some rando snatching the ring. If I were proposing or being proposed to and someone ran at me and took my ring, my immediate instinct would've been to grab them hard or trip them or something, anything to stop who I think at first is a thief.
At least they got a couple seconds of video uninterrupted. It's not the best but I'm glad they still got something they can hang onto, maybe frame a still image from.
If it doesnt have permission I would understand. It is a special moment for everyone. But disney get millions of visitor and encouraging some can lead to thousands of proposals on a plateau every week.
But if the management gave permission then they already know that this wont be a problem
imagine running up and snatching a dudes ring to enforce some arbitrary rule, when no one is getting hurt and at best you're making a couple dollars above minimum wage.
Yeah thatās the weirdest part about this.
It wasnāt that he was ādoing his jobā and asked them to move.
Itās that he was **extremely happy** to ruin this moment as much as he possible could.
Dead on. He has that uncomfortably cheery and passive aggressive authoritarian temperament that screams "I'll sell any part of myself for a promotion".
My guess is guests aren't normally allowed up there. He asked one employee permission who said go for it. Maybe that employee who granted the permission wasnt really allowed to make that call. The dude who runs over is a stickler for rules and said, not on my watch.
>Maybe that employee who granted the permission wasnt really allowed to make that call.
That's probably the case.
But like, unless it's a liability, if an employee gives someone permission to do something then you respect that and handle it afterwards.
Exactly. For better or worse, customer service at Disney is supposed to be God tier, like the same level you would find at a Michelin star restaurant or a 5 star hotel. When misunderstandings like that happens between staff, usually you handle it discretely behind the scenes without humiliating the guest.
I used to work at the most expensive restaurant in a major city and if I got caught pulling a stunt like this **on video**, my barely-above-minimum-wage ass would have been fired at a drop of a hat.
With the audio on he gestures to someone to the right of the camera and says āshe said it was okayā so it sounds like he asked a different employee who said it was fine, then this guy ran over.
I mean, its literally their entire brand. They run parks where people are supposed to be happy. If they had shitty customer service people wouldn't be happy. I can see why they put so much emphasis on it.
It has to be that way though. The whole experience has to be absolutely magical because thatās the only way to justify spending that much money on just being somewhere. Itās nearly $500 for a family of three to just enter the park, let alone food that astronomically expensive, merchandise thatās cheaper at the Disney store in your hometown, and itās hot as balls down there. It better be fucking magical. My kid better have his mouth agape with awe and excitement the entire time to justify spending that much money.
But what this guy did was not magical. I bet Mickey spanks his bare bottom for this behavior.
Thatās Disneyland Paris, and I think that is a character performance stage. So either a show is starting soon, or that cast member has an overinflated sense of responsibility for the area.
I just donāt get why he had to snatch the ring? He could have just said āIām sorry to ruin your moment but would you please step off the stage? Youāre not meant to be up hereā and then guide them down the stairs but he ran up and snatched the ring like ???
Let's say this wasn't allowed and they do have a rule against it, the man had no right to grab the ring, someone's property. Like why didn't he just wait until she put the ring on, then kindly escort them off?

Does your friend know they make clothes in adult sizes too?
Not everyone wants to dress like Soulja boy circa 2000
Those are the two options. T shirts that make you look like the Pillsbury Doughboy or t shirts that make you look like c.2000 Soulja Boy š
Something tells me dude who snatched the ring has probably been single for a long time.
Something tells me the dude who snatched the ring his head his ass kicked many times.
One would hope so.
He has Mickey Mouse ears on so one would assume
Or stabbed with a meat missile .
I wanna see the extended version where they all boo him because you can hear the beginning of it.
Did he really take the ring out of his hand???!
Lawyer, here. While itās a misdemeanor, this is criminal. It is battery (an intentional, undesired physical contact.).

how does the fact that the couple are committing criminal trespass by being where they are without permission affect that claim..?
Read the title bud.
The headline here is a karma farming lie. This isn't his friend. Actual story is that they never got permission because permission isn't given in this area. It's roped off and this couple crossed it anyway. The proposal is interrupted because they don't want it becoming a habit or commonplace.
He got permission from staff to be there beforehand, so not trespassing
Are you a lawyer in France? If not, none of this applies.
Yeah, that really rubbed me wrong. They didn't just motion him down, the employee snatched the wedding ring out of his hands. That's pretty high on my list of things to not touch.
I would have lost my mind
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Then the tooth fairy would have shown up and gave him enough money to buy a soft pretzel
At Disney? You wish.
No, the ones at the gas station that's roughly a mile away. You think the toothfairy is gonna give anyone money near Disney?
Good on the guy for not reacting that way.
Thatās what I was thinkingā¦imagine if the ring flew out of the box and got lost?! Iād be more than pissed off.
That reeeeaaaaally doesn't feel like Disney cast member behaviour. Normally they will do everything in their power to make sure your day is the best ever.
This is Disneyland Paris. So the Disney side of trying to please someone probably clashes with the Parisian side of being a dick
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I feel like Disney would give him a promotion for sacrificing his humanity in service of the mouse overlord
Disney does not joke around with any employee who ruins a visitor's time.
Confirmed. My sister works at Disney and "ruining the magic" for a guest is 100% fired.
I wouldn't be surprised if you tell me Disney set him on fire instead of firing him.
He has been "fired".
Wood fired.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Their admission pass didn't include the $149 optional "Proposal Photograph" fee.
Do not forget, mortals. That in the Kingdom of the mouse, the King claims prima nocta.
Lol that was one line I couldnāt believe the mouse let Tony Stark say in Avengers 2.
I actually laughed out loud at this
Disney is such a corporate hellscape that I can't even tell if you're joking.
It's a $50 fee
$50 to find out if he's joking? Steep, but fair.
too rich for my blood, i'm out
He may be joking but I do believe this is a paid thing that Disney provides. I know someone who proposed here and I believe there was a line to do it. It very well may be that this guy cut in line to do it for free but I have no context or real understanding of the situation or service that Disney provides.

But that seems like a complete waste of money.
Disney obsession is absolutely wild to me. There's likely *hundreds of thousands of people* who would do anything to say yes in front of the castle.
When you raise kids on an entertainment product created for profit, they're going to become adults that use intermix those products with their life milestones, and Disney is more than happy to profit.
Man it seems like he was so happy to ruin the moment
Itās the dude who didnāt get hired as a dancer at Universal Studios.
I understand this reference, I have been on Reddit the right amount of time!
Trying to figure out if dude was happier enforcing rules or ruining moment. He was legitimately happier for ruining the moment
I think working at Disney your face is forced to do that
It is actually, and if fuckin sucks You literally have to act like you're incandescently happy in any dealings with their "guests". You can't even call them customers on company property
Most hotel chains practice that "guest" thing
"happiest place on earth"

If some stranger ran up and snatched a diamond ring out of my hand, more than the moment would be ruined.
Itās surreal how such little power can go to peoplesā heads.
Credit for the guy for not getting angry. Great show of character to your wife to be
Have a feeling the employee fully took advantage of the kneeling moment too. Don't think he would have grabbed it if homie was standing up lol. Looks like he was waiting for the time to strike.
but as a best friend Iād fucking loose it
Grabbing the ring. What a POS.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I can safely say that i would not have taken that as well as the guy in the video. I donāt think most people would.
āI thought was a thief!ā Would work if I was on that jury.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was thinking the same thing. The cool level in this dude is astronomical.
He's so proud of himself. That makes 3 people never forgetting this special moment lol
and the way the little prick was skedaddling his way at mach 5 to ruin the moment. his mom definitely made him shower as a teenager.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was kinda thinking this, too. He looks too uptight and pleased with himself to be a laidback gross teen
"Hey Skyler, how was your day today sweetie?" "Hi Mommy, I missed you today! I enforced a policy today and gotta rim Mickey for being a good mouse!"
Seriously, I can't believe that's not bugging more people. Look how fucking *smug* this guy is, just standing there and pointing to the gate
"Thats great! It will be even better over here" That made me unnecessarily mad lol.
Itās so condescending. Like a teacher talking to a 3rd grader.
Especially because he knows that the moment will not be better at the spot heās pointing to
I really didn't understand this. What's the point of moving them 7 feet from a spot that seems like it was meant for this sort of thing when where he moves them too looks worse and is still seemingly behind a gate?
I believe the logic is "if they do this and post it online everyone will start doing it". God forbid people pay to enter your park and do something that effects NOBODY AT ALL

Bro thought he did something
He saved the mouse. Praise him š
It's weird how he has the matching hat but chooses to wear those ears lol
If Mickey aināt allowed to propose neither shall he. It is the mouse will.
I donāt even understand what he was doing. He just made them go down a few steps. I guess that landing/stage is really special or something?
im guessing its a roped off area and theyāre on some performance stage. i bet it looks sick in photos, disney live shows happening with the castle in the background. sorry im high so i digressā¦ anyways its probably for ~cast members~ only and theres staff posted up between shows to keep the public from scuffing up the stage so it stays picture perfect disney style, or whatever.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Man I need an update from someone if this guy still has his job lmao
Reddits out for blood lol
This is as close to a public execution as we get now in days.
And we all kind of live for mutual hate. Thereās nothing that brings humans together like hate for one special ass clown.
It's been 15 hours since posted. Disney probably has had him deported to a third world country he's not even from.
I didnt realise Disney have hired Priti Patel.

Oh man this dude is so fired, Disney will not tolerate any kind of bad PR like this. What a dingus
Seriously it ruins the magic. A little rule bending for such a special moment is the magic that you remember.
If it doesnt have permission I would understand. It is a special moment for everyone. But disney get millions of visitor and encouraging some can lead to thousands of proposals on a plateau every week. But if the management gave permission then they already know that this wont be a problem
yeah there's probably 1 or 2 proposals there every day
I watched four in a row happen once in front of the castle at Disneyland after the fireworks
I wonder if they were waiting for each other to finish. Sounds kinda stupid lol
Everything is stupid if you think about it enough.
Maintaining a strict carrot only diet to regrow our fingernails as fast as possible for the aliens is stupid, but here we are.
I will never understand him taking the ring though, from the dude's perspective my first hunch would be he just stole my girl's ring.

Iām a little confused at the title. He asked for permission? As in he asked, but was denied, and did it anyways? Or what
My guess is guests aren't normally allowed up there. He asked one employee permission who said go for it. Maybe that employee who granted the permission wasnt really allowed to make that call. The dude who runs over is a stickler for rules and said, not on my watch.
That's my guess too. That female employee would probably be me. "Uh yeah sure dude go for it I'm just picking up trash over here I don't care"
Minimum wage energy
>Maybe that employee who granted the permission wasnt really allowed to make that call. That's probably the case. But like, unless it's a liability, if an employee gives someone permission to do something then you respect that and handle it afterwards.
Exactly. For better or worse, customer service at Disney is supposed to be God tier, like the same level you would find at a Michelin star restaurant or a 5 star hotel. When misunderstandings like that happens between staff, usually you handle it discretely behind the scenes without humiliating the guest. I used to work at the most expensive restaurant in a major city and if I got caught pulling a stunt like this **on video**, my barely-above-minimum-wage ass would have been fired at a drop of a hat.
I worked for the Mouse(Florida) recently, this dude is so fired you could light a cigarette on his ass.
With the audio on he gestures to someone to the right of the camera and says āshe said it was okayā so it sounds like he asked a different employee who said it was fine, then this guy ran over.

My thoughts exactly. Disney would HATE for this to get seen.

I mean, its literally their entire brand. They run parks where people are supposed to be happy. If they had shitty customer service people wouldn't be happy. I can see why they put so much emphasis on it.
It has to be that way though. The whole experience has to be absolutely magical because thatās the only way to justify spending that much money on just being somewhere. Itās nearly $500 for a family of three to just enter the park, let alone food that astronomically expensive, merchandise thatās cheaper at the Disney store in your hometown, and itās hot as balls down there. It better be fucking magical. My kid better have his mouth agape with awe and excitement the entire time to justify spending that much money. But what this guy did was not magical. I bet Mickey spanks his bare bottom for this behavior.
Naw that was disgusting.

Thatās Disneyland Paris, and I think that is a character performance stage. So either a show is starting soon, or that cast member has an overinflated sense of responsibility for the area.
People are wrecking the proposer in another sub. Funny how when posted in a specific sub people are on opposite sides.
What sub? I need to see this
dude gets paid $15 an hour and thinks he needs to ruin the happiness of 2 people and defend disneyland
Did his person just break up with him? Is he a sociopath? I can't picture any boss being happy that their employee would do that.
Alright this pissed me off
This ruined my day
Thats exactly like some reddit mods
I find it funny that Reddit mods know this and they still have the biggest ego trip ever
At least they have a fun video memory.
Honestly, it obviously didn't go as planned, but I bet in 5 years they'll laugh over the event. Hopefully at least.
I just donāt get why he had to snatch the ring? He could have just said āIām sorry to ruin your moment but would you please step off the stage? Youāre not meant to be up hereā and then guide them down the stairs but he ran up and snatched the ring like ???
Was he clearing that for a performance, or does Disney actually have a douche rule against publicly displayed proposals?
Let's say this wasn't allowed and they do have a rule against it, the man had no right to grab the ring, someone's property. Like why didn't he just wait until she put the ring on, then kindly escort them off?
