A guest at Disney's Animal Kingdom caused a disruption on Kilimanjaro Safaris after jumping out of the safari truck to relieve himself in the bushes — in full view of other guests on the ride.

Video posted to TikTok by @itsedwinlv shows the moment the guest leaps from the vehicle and heads into the roadside vegetation. The truck is stopped for the duration, with a second safari vehicle visible in the background, held up and waiting.

After finishing, the guest returns to the truck and climbs back over the side to rejoin his family, who had remained on board. The video ends there, so it's unclear what happened next or how Disney cast members responded.

So this happened today at Animal Kingdom during the Safari Ride

Kilimanjaro Safaris operates large open-sided vehicles that travel a 1.8-mile route through Animal Kingdom's Harambe Wildlife Reserve. Guests are seated in rows and the trucks follow a set path, stopping at designated points for animal viewing.

Guests are not permitted to exit the vehicles at any point during the ride. The attraction covers open terrain shared with free-roaming animals, making unauthorized exits a safety concern.

The incident brought the ride to a halt and backed up at least one additional truck on the course.

It's not clear if the guest received any consequences, such as being removed from the park.

This whole incident got me thinking……….how are things these days at HKDL and SDL? Did this sign finally put an end to public bodily waste releases?

Fine. Pi** off!

You think it's turned into a pi** poor discussion? Too much of a pi**ing contest? The conversation is too pi**ant? Okay, I'll see myself out now.

This did not need 22 pages of legal discussion. Some of these like arguing way too damn much.

Regardless, I suspect it was a guy who really needed to go before he boarded. I wouldn't be surprised if he had more than one adult beverage at Dawa Bar. Then the need really hit. At the risk of TMI, have you ever needed to go so bad, your hands were numb? Obviously, no excuses. But I think he had only one thing on his mind and it wasn't potential repercussions.

Obviously it doesn’t matter too much - it’s just tricky to tell where exactly it is.

Fair enough. I read that earlier.

This person hopped off a jeep at a Disney theme park to pee… how we are trying it to compare it to anything else is baffling. 1st his back was towards everyone now bc i point out there is another truck visible we have another excuse. You know what. Lets reward him for his bravery and give him a lifetime pass to all of their their parks… Like i said way back when if this guy was someone else and wearing a certain red hat everyone would be crucifying him…

I’ll ask again - can anyone confirm this is near the goats? It looks like it maybe on the hill before the first Savanah view

No one knows the specifics but I suspect he needed to go before he boarded. Probably in standby and he was committed. He held it in through the major animals portions. They finally get to the goat area just before disembark and couldn't hold it in anymore. Too bad for him. Probably banned for life. Disney can't make exceptions.
