A fight broke out September 12 in the queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT.
The confrontation involved two men who argued in the attraction’s queue before the dispute became physical. Other members of the two groups also became involved as the confrontation continued, with what looked like several other guests trying to pull the two men apart. A Disney security Cast Member later stepped between the men and helped separate them.
Videos of the incident began circulating on social media.
How the Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Fight Began
The first video was recorded earlier in the incident by TikTok user @Divinevalkyrie_. According to WDW News Today, one of the men was trying to reach members of his family who were farther ahead in the queue.
The circumstances behind that situation remain unclear. No confirmation yet on whether either family had entered the line late or whether the groups had accidentally ended up ahead of one another.

The video then shows the disagreement becoming physical. The two men appear to fight while other people attempt to separate them. For a moment, other guests can be heard screaming and yelling “please stop.” The man in the white tank top can be heard saying, “Touch my daughter, get f—–!”
After the initial confrontation, the man wearing a white tank top and another guest with him catch up to their group. The argument continues after they reach the other guests.
Security Responds to the Queue Fight
A second video was recorded later in the same queue area by TikTok user @MeluskiO.
The recording shows the two men standing apart while continuing to argue. A Disney security Cast Member moves between them and speaks with the guests. The man wearing the white tank top then removes his shirt. The footage shows nearby guests moving away as the confrontation continues.

The security Cast Member remains between the men as they continue to argue. The guests eventually move farther apart. The security employee then speaks into a radio while other guests appear to speak with the employee about what happened.
Another Cast Member can be seen using a phone during the recording. The video ends while staff members are still responding to the situation.
Audio cannot be heard from this video as the TikTok user played “Conga” by Gloria Estefan, one of the songs played on the ride.
