A video posted on Instagram shows two ducks standing on the Disneyland Monorail track near the "It's A Small World" attraction. The monorail driver was able to slow the train in time, though the ducks initially refused to fly off the track. Eventually, the driver used the horn to shoo the ducks away and continue the journey.

Why it matters

Disneyland is one of the most visited theme parks in the world, and the monorail is a key transportation system for the resort. Any disruption to the monorail's operations, even a brief one, can impact the experience of thousands of guests.

The details

The incident was captured on video by an Instagram user known as @DisneyDorks2. The video shows the two ducks standing calmly on the monorail track as the train approaches. The driver is able to slow the monorail, but the ducks refuse to move at first. After a quick horn blast, the ducks finally fly off the track, allowing the monorail to continue its journey.

  • The incident occurred last week near the "It's A Small World" attraction at Disneyland.
