  • - Hi guys, it's the J family.

  • We got banned from Disneyland.

  • - And this is that story.

  • It was a normal day.

  • We went to Disneyland.

  • We took our two kids, wanted to have a good time.

  • Her sister-in-law was in town

  • so we wanted to take them out to Disneyland.

  • - [Myley] We have annual passes and we live, just like,

  • 15 minutes from Disneyland, so we went constantly.

  • - [Tre] We went all the time, all the time.

  • - This specific day was actually the second time

  • I went that day.

  • (laughs) I went that morning for a couple hours and then

  • I was headed back with the whole family to go again.

  • - But she only went there in the morning to get macaroons.

  • - I'm just walking around Disney by myself

  • with this Tupperware full of macaroons.

  • So we were there that evening and we were going

  • on some rides and then we had the idea

  • to go on "Pirates of the Caribbean."

  • - It's our daughter's favorite ride.

  • She loves "Pirates," so we thought

  • let's take her on "Pirates."

  • - We've been on that ride probably 20 times,

  • never had an issue.

  • (laughs)

  • But this day was different.

  • - But today.

  • - Because I had the idea as well

  • that I wanted to go get some more macaroons.

  • (laughs)

  • So I said I will go get some macaroons.

  • You guys go get in line and then I'll meet up with you guys

  • in line and we can eat the macaroons in line

  • before we get on the ride.

  • - The line's usually pretty long and it goes really slow

  • so we thought she got time to get her macaroons,

  • make it back before we got on the ride.

  • We were wrong.

  • So she goes to get her macaroons.

  • I take the kids and her sister-in-law, we get in line.

  • We're in that line,

  • I'm realizing that it's moving pretty quick today.

  • So I call her, "Hey Miley, this line's moving really fast.

  • "How fast is your line moving?"

  • - And I said this line, like, I'm not even close.

  • This line's really slow.

  • I'm ditching the macaroons.

  • I'm just gonna go get in line with you guys.

  • - I'm still moving forward in the line, like,

  • I didn't think twice about it.

  • I'm still moving forward, thinking she's on her way.

  • She will make it time.

  • So I get to the front of the line,

  • so I'm about to enter the building where the ride starts.

  • I call her again, "Where are you?"

  • This line, I'm in the building.

  • - Fast.

  • - It's moving really quick, where are you?

  • And she says...

  • - I said I'm in line.

  • I was, like, one of those really annoying people, I guess,

  • "Excuse me, excuse me,"

  • weaving in and out,

  • trying to get through this big, long line.

  • And I'm moving fast through this line,

  • thinking I'm gonna see them any second.

  • (laughs)

  • - Well, so I get to the front of the wooden part,

  • so if you've been to Disneyland,

  • you know the "Pirates" ride.

  • You know the wood part I'm talking about.

  • So I get to that point, I'm like, "Miley."

  • I call again, "Miley, we're about to get on the boat.

  • "Where are you?"

  • Like, we're getting on next.

  • They're counting us out, we're getting on.

  • She says I'm in the building, like,

  • I'm about to get on the wood part, too.

  • I'm thinking, well.

  • - I was right there.

  • I was so close.

  • - I'm thinking, okay, so she's coming.

  • - Probably like 15 people behind you.

  • - Nowhere in my mind

  • did I think maybe I should just wait for her.

  • Let me just let a couple people go and I'll just wait.

  • I dunno but we did not wait.

  • We just kept going.

  • So I get on the ride. (laughs)

  • I got on. I stepped on a boat and I'm thinking

  • she ain't gonna make it.

  • She not gonna get on this ride with us.

  • But little did I know.

  • - So he tells me we're on the boat.

  • And I can see that they're on a boat.

  • And so I tell the lady at the front that's, like,

  • still counting people to go on the next one.

  • And I said my family, my husband and my kids

  • are on that boat.

  • Can I hurry and go get on the boat?

  • And she's like, "This one?"

  • And I said yeah, they're right there.

  • And so she says, "Okay, hurry."

  • And, like, moves the rope for me to get past her

  • and go get on.

  • So that's my go-ahead.

  • (laughs)

  • But then the boats shift to where...

  • - We're the next people that's about to take off

  • to start their ride.

  • - They're like farther, they're kinda hard to get to now

  • because they shifted forward.

  • My brain wasn't working as a normal brain in that moment.

  • It only was thinking one thing of I gotta get on "Pirates."

  • I'm getting on this ride.

  • That's all I could think.

  • And there's this one little, like,

  • gate-type thing stopping me.

  • - Right.

  • - That's all that's coming between me

  • - And the boat.

  • - And getting on the ride with you guys.

  • And they're in the back row of the boat.

  • So I'm only a couple feet away.

  • I can just, like, step in the boat.

  • But at this moment, I hear...

  • - "Ma'am, (laughs) Ma'am you cannot,

  • "You cannot do that."

  • - "Ma'am stop.

  • "You can't do that."

  • I'm only focusing on the one lady who gave me the go-ahead

  • and I'm gonna get on the boat. I'm like, I got this close.

  • I go to step on the boat and at that same moment,

  • the boat starts. - Goes. (laughs)

  • - At that moment, I should've logically put my foot

  • back down on the ground and said it's okay.

  • - I'll see you after the ride ends.

  • - I'll just see you in 20 minutes, guys.

  • I'll go on the ride.

  • I was committed and I just leapt onto the boat. (laughs)

  • - She just jumped onto the boat.

  • - Literally, I jumped onto a moving boat

  • as the ride had started.

  • Leapt onto the back row and I sat down and I immediately,

  • well, first of all, they we're all like amazed.

  • My sister-in-law and you and the kids,

  • "Oh Mom!

  • "Mom, you're here!" (laughs)

  • They were just like so

  • - You made it!

  • - Their mouths just, like, dropped like whoa!

  • - 'Cause I didn't expect her to jump onto the moving boat.

  • It was just like, you did that?

  • But it was instant, instant regret.

  • As soon as she sat down, she said "Oh no."

  • - Just as fast as they were amazed,

  • the split second after that was, "Guys, this is really bad.

  • "I'm gonna get in so much trouble.

  • "This is bad."

  • And they're like "No, no, it's fine."

  • - I tried to reassure her, like, "No, you're good."

  • Like, they're not gonna care that much, like, you're fine.

  • They just, you're good.

  • - I was stressed.

  • I knew immediately that was so dumb.

  • I'm about to get my pass taken away.

  • And I was so nervous the whole time.

  • - [Tre] She tried to disguise herself.

  • 'Cause we're on the ride, she's asking our sister-in-law,

  • "Do you have a hair tie?

  • "A sweater I can put on so I can change the way I look?"

  • Me and Tre were wearing matching pink hoodies.

  • - Can you imagine me, I'm 6' 2", 250 lbs,

  • wearing a pink hoodie?

  • I couldn't blend in with nobody.

  • - We didn't blend in at all, our family.

  • - We were realizing when we're on the ride

  • it was so backed up, this ride's never backed up like this.

  • - Yeah.

  • - And we're thinking like why would it be backed up?

  • And Miley goes "What if they're looking for me?"

  • - It didn't cross my mind that

  • oh, they're searching boats for me.

  • Not until we were like actually pulling up

  • and I could see that that's what they were doing.

  • We finally got close to the end

  • where we could see that literally there was security guards

  • inspecting every boat.

  • That's what was taking so long 'cause they were searching.

  • - One by one, they were looking for...

  • - [Myley] A lunatic that jumped onto the moving boat.

  • I was terrified at this point,

  • so that's when we were really making the plan,

  • like, no, we just gotta get out and get out so fast.

  • - Just get out, go, don't look at 'em.

  • They call your name.

  • They say "Hey ma'am, stop," don't listen.

  • Just go.

  • - And I actually made it, like, out.

  • I could've been off the ride.

  • I was off the boat, I was pretty far.

  • - Right.

  • - And then I realized that my sister-in-law, my nephew...

  • - They stopped me.

  • - Tre and our son.

  • - Like "Do you know that lady?"

  • They got off the boat and I'm thinking,

  • I'm gonna lie and say no, I don't know who she is.

  • But Miley comes back.

  • - I did not want this story to escalate to them

  • chasing me down and, like, it's just gonna be so bad.

  • I'm like, I felt really bad at this time, too.

  • I was so scared and just, like, knew how stupid it was.

  • Like, if I just like apologized like crazy,

  • like, that's my best bet.

  • I just need to tell them I know it was very stupid.

  • I'm very sorry.

  • They tell me, "I think you already know what happened."

  • I'm like, yeah, I know it was really dumb.

  • They're just like, "What were you thinking?

  • "You can't jump onto a moving ride."

  • But then she says give me your ID and your pass.

  • - Yup.

  • - I knew it. I knew it in that moment.

  • I can't plead and they're about to confiscate my pass.

  • So I say to her, like, can I stay?

  • Like what's going on?

  • And she says oh no, we're taking your pass.

  • You're done here.

  • You're getting kicked out tonight.

  • We're removing you from the park.

  • She's like, yeah you're banned.

  • Your pass is nulled.

  • That's confiscated.

  • You can't come back.

  • - Can't come back. She said me and the kids could stay,

  • but we decided to be team players and to go along with her.

  • - Cause I, like, tried the whole

  • "Oh, so my kids have to go home now?"

  • She's like, oh they can stay.

  • - So they're walking us through the park,

  • all the way to the entrance.

  • And we thinking, that's it, like they're not gonna walk us

  • any further than the entrance.

  • But then the guy asked Miley...

  • - "Ma'am, what parking lot are you in?"

  • And I said "You have to walk me to my parking lot?"

  • Like, I feel like I'm a fugitive.

  • So we got to the car and my daughter's telling me

  • like it's okay Mom, we'll just come back

  • when you're not in trouble anymore.

  • I'm sorry.

  • - [Daughter] That's okay Mommy.

  • - You forgive me?

  • - [Daughter] Yes.

  • - Thank you so much, sweetie.

  • Eventually, the time came where we decided to...

  • - Let's see, 'cause our pass had expired.

  • We'd been, our passes expired.

  • So like maybe they'll let her get a new pass.

  • They don't...

  • - I knew I couldn't get that pass back but I was like,

  • let's just go buy a new passes.

  • - So we went.

  • - We went and I was very stressed.

  • It took her, like, 30 minutes on her computer,

  • like obviously things must been like

  • - Something had to pop up, yeah.

  • - 'Cause it took way longer than it should have.

  • But she didn't say anything.

  • She just gave me the pass and I was not gonna ask

  • any more questions and left it at that.

  • - And to Disneyland we go.

  • - And I actually have a pass again now.

  • - She does. (laughs)

  • - And I have been on "Pirates of the Caribbean" since then.

  • - She did not jump on this time.

  • - I did not jump.

  • - She waited in line.

  • - I didn't. (laughs)

  • Disneyland security does not play.

  • I felt horrible, and I was so embarrassed.

  • And I definitely learned from that and will like,

  • I'm so on top of my game, keeping every rule at Disneyland.

  • And you need to.

  • 'Cause you'll get kicked out.

  • - So my advice, if you're ever waiting for somebody

  • for a ride, just let people pass you.

  • It's not worth it to keep moving forward

  • 'cause it leads to things like this.

  • So advice, step back, you go in front of me,

  • oh now your person's here with you.

  • (happy music)

- Hi guys, it's the J family.
