Watch on TikTok
A viral video has ignited fierce online debate about boundaries, harassment, and performer safety at Disneyland after showing a 26-year-old “Disney adult” repeatedly pursuing Peter Pan character actors over more than a decade.
The controversy centers on Toni, who posts as @babytoni99 on TikTok and has built a following of over 61,000 documenting her weekly visits to Disneyland to interact with performers playing Peter Pan. In a nearly five-minute video posted on July 31, 2026, captioned “Another adventure with the green bean,” Toni approaches a Peter Pan actor with a handmade crocheted toy as a gift, speaking with him in character while walking through the park. The video has accumulated over 24 million views, and the footage shows the performer appearing visibly startled and uncomfortable as Toni and a friend follow him around, limiting his ability to engage with other guests.
Social media erupted with commentary, with one commenter writing “He f—king hates you,” while others joked about what the actor must have been thinking or suggested he needed a panic button. Some called for him to seek a restraining order, while others labeled Toni’s behavior as stalking that crossed professional boundaries. An Instagram post from Toni documented her Peter Pan fandom as “10+ years and counting of visiting Neverland once a week,” a claim that intensified criticism across social platforms.
Yet the controversy extends beyond Toni’s behavior. The viral moment has reignited broader conversations about how Disney treats its performers when faced with guest harassment. Multiple Disney character performers have come forward with their own disturbing accounts of being touched inappropriately, asked sexually explicit questions, and made to feel unsafe while contractually obligated to remain in character and welcoming to guests.
Alyssa Klinzing, a former Disneyland performer who played Princess Elsa, Cinderella, Ariel, and Sleeping Beauty from 2016 to 2023, detailed a particularly troubling incident. She described a guest who hugged her, sniffed her shoulder and ear with his lips pressed against her skin, and whispered that he had “dirty dreams” about her. She filed multiple incident reports, but Disney management allegedly took no action, instead telling her the guest had “intellectual disabilities” and would be allowed to continue visiting as long as he had a chaperone. The guest later returned and repeated the same behavior with other performers. “For all performers, there is an expiration date,” Klinzing said, reflecting on her experience. She left the job after seven years, attributing her departure partly to the PTSD the harassment caused.
Hunter Haag, who performed as Rapunzel and Belle, revealed that she was asked inappropriate questions by visitors, such as “how big” Beast was. All performers are instructed to “divert the best” they can in such uncomfortable situations, with breaking character strictly forbidden.
Joshua, a former Disney World character performer who played Peter Pan at Walt Disney World in Florida, supported the broader concern about performer safety. “I myself, while working at Disney World, had a stalker,” he said. “She came to my line every single shift that I was Peter Pan.” He described the guest repeatedly circling the queue and asking questions he considered disturbing and inappropriate. Joshua claimed that princess performers have also faced unwanted behavior from adult guests, suggesting the problem is widespread across Disney parks.
Disney has established some restrictions for its adult fanbase, including a policy barring guests over age 14 from wearing character costumes during regular park operations. However, some former cast members argue that insufficient protections exist for performers themselves, even in alleged cases of sexual harassment. The company has not publicly commented on specific protocols for addressing guest-on-performer harassment or whether changes are planned.
None of the Peter Pan performers featured in Toni’s videos has publicly accused her of harassment or stalking, and some social media users have defended her actions, pointing out that her interactions occur publicly inside the park and that entertaining guests is part of performers’ job descriptions. Supporters argue that the viral backlash represents an overreaction to a passionate fan. Other defenders suggest that while Toni may have a crush on the character, her behavior appears harmless compared to what other performers have endured.
The broader debate raises difficult questions about where the line should be drawn between enthusiastic fandom and uncomfortable behavior. Character performers remain bound by strict requirements to stay in character and accommodate guests, leaving them limited ability to refuse interactions or set boundaries. As the conversation continues online, it has become clear that the focus has shifted from a single controversial TikTok video to systemic concerns about how Disney protects its employees from harassment at the hands of visitors.
