In another video from @thefivethreegodd, we see the moment he jumps from the bridge into the water from a different angle.
Finally, the man hauls himself out of the water and onto the decorative gondola. This video from @yeazel97 shows him getting out of the World Showcase Lagoon after he jumped from the Italy Pavilion bridge.

Other Guest Incidents at Disney Parks
This isn’t the first time a guest incident has happened at the Disney Parks. Earlier this month, a video of a fight that broke out in front of Storybook Land Canal Boats at Disneyland was shared with us by @capturedthrills on Instagram, who was not involved in the fight. Monstro from the Storybook Land Canal Boats can be seen looking on as the chaos ensues.
Watch the video:
In 2022, a fight broke out on the evening of the long-awaited return of “Fantasmic!” at Disneyland Park.
Earlier this year, two people were removed from Magic Kingdom and trespassed from Walt Disney World Resort after an altercation in front of the Main Street, U.S.A. train station.
There is a “Courtesy” section on the Disneyland Resort website that asks guests to “treat others with respect, kindness and compassion” and that “those who cannot live up to this simple wish or follow [their] rules may be asked to leave the park.”
