Disney bans guests after individual jumps from EPCOT ride

Disney World EPCOT Gran Fiesta Tour trespassed park ban

A group of guests has been banned from Walt Disney World after an individual jumped from a moving boat during the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros attraction at EPCOT.

Footage posted to social media by chef Michael Collantes shows a guest climbing out of a moving vehicle and diving into the ride's flume while friends cheered. The incident caused the ride to stop for approximately 15 minutes. While initial reports suggested security did not approach the group immediately after the event, Disney representatives later confirmed that the guest and their entire party were trespassed from the resort.

A Disney representative stated that the behavior was “unsafe and a clear violation of our park rules.” Being trespassed from the property effectively bans the individuals from Disney's premises, though the specific duration of the ban has not been disclosed.
