A savage brawl broke out at Disneyland after furious tourists became fed up with queue-cutters.
Despite being deemed the 'Happiest Place on Earth', the scuffle between a couple and a family of three even saw a young child be assaulted near the Crazy Animal City ride.
In a video taken by another person in the queue, a man wearing a black t-shirt grabbed the other man, in a white t-shirt, by the neck.
They both wrestled each other as a woman wearing a hat with rabbit ears attached to it repeatedly flailed out her arms.
She tried to hit both of the men before running at a visitor, part of the family of three, who carried a child.
The woman hit both of them, including the little girl, which caused the mum to break down into tears and crouch on the ground.
She kept the child tightly in her arms and held her close to her chest.
As she cried, the focus went back to the two men as the woman wearing the rabbit hat went to join in on the scuffle.
The man in the white t-shirt who appeared to be part of the family, was wrestled to the ground after he fell on some steps.
When he hit the floor, the woman who was still holding her child became hysterical as she reached out her arm to the man.
She then stood up and grabbed the woman wearing the hat and began to shout.
Security personnel eventually intervened in the fight - which local press said was caused by an argument over the queue - and were able to break up the altercation which took place at Disneyland Park, in Shanghai, China.
The shocking scenes attracted a large number of tourists who watched in horror, as reported by NeedToKnow.
It is not known whether those involved suffered consequences as a result of their actions but some outlets have said that tourists may face a permanent ban on entering the park if they engage in violent behaviour.
It has also been reported that the couple tried to have a photo together which was blocked by the family, leading to a heated exchange before punches began swinging.
This is not the first time an outrageous brawl broke out at Disneyland - with another viral video taken of a fight in 2023.
Punches and kicks were thrown between two families on the walkway between Storybook Land Canal Boats and Mad Tea Party rides in Fantasyland.
A tourist wearing blue pushes another clad in red before a second guest - also wearing red - runs up and throws a punch at the apparent instigator.
The camera pans away but swings back to reveal two more guests joining in. Another two people are absorbed in the brawl as bystanders rush from the scene.
One man topples to the ground - only to be kicked by a woman as he attempts to regain his balance.
Small children closest to the fight hang onto a nearby guardrail as they inch away.
Disneyland security hurried to break up the fight while Fantasyland cast members closed off the area between the parade route and the Mad Hatter gift shop.
According to visitor who filmed the scuffle, the family wearing red was asked to move aside by another family attempting to pass.
The family in red 'gave them attitude' and told them to go around. However, this was not possible, as there was only a small opening and the second family had strollers.
The families continued to exchange verbal blows before teenage girls from both sides began to argue 'in close proximity' - launching an all-out fistfight.
Park officials say the party that initiated the incident was immediately removed, adding that 'any type of violence will not be tolerated at Disneyland Resort'.
