Smoking Dispute Turns Violent at Shanghai Disneytown

The resort urges reporting to staff instead of guest confrontations.

Overview

  • A Disneytown encounter on April 27 turned violent after a guest asked another to stop smoking outside a designated area.
  • Local video shows one man kicking and punching the other as a cast member tries and fails to pull them apart.
  • Shanghai Disneyland reiterated its no‑smoking rules and told guests to report violators to staff rather than step in themselves.
  • The resort restricts all smoking, including e‑cigarettes, to marked zones across Disneytown, Wishing Star Park and on‑site hotels, supported by more than 2,800 “No Smoking” signs.
  • The clash fits a run of conduct disputes at Disney parks, including 2025 fights in Shanghai over lines and photos and stricter U.S. policies that moved smoking outside park gates in 2019.
