Security Intervenes After Guest Enters Off Limits Victoria Gardens at EPCOT

An incident at EPCOT’s Canada pavilion has gone viral after a guest was filmed entering a restricted area to dip their feet into the water. The individual bypassed clear signage and barriers to access the Victoria Gardens stream, an area strictly off-limits to the public.

According to a video shared by Instagram user @therideview, the guest made their way down to the water’s edge, removing at least one shoe to dip their hands and feet into the stream. Eyewitnesses reported that Disney Cast Members and security personnel responded swiftly to the situation. The incident was resolved without major disruption to the surrounding area, though it serves as a stark reminder of the park’s strict safety protocols.

Disney’s official policy prohibits guests from jumping over railings or entering any unauthorized areas. Such actions can result in immediate removal from the park and, in some cases, a permanent ban from Walt Disney World Resort. While the Victoria Gardens are designed to be enjoyed from designated walkways and bridges, the landscaping and water features are not intended for guest interaction.
