According to a post on Reddit, a teenage girl in a wheelchair was attacked by a drunk grandma during the Universal Mardi Gras Parade at Universal Studios Florida.
FYI: The information was posted in a thread (thread comment) on the fan-run Universal Orlando community page on the social media platform. The thread was called ‘What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen someone do while working attractions?’. You can read thread here.

“Gonna put my Reddit identity to my teens who follow this sub, but my teenage daughter who is a wheelchair used got attacked at the parade a few weeks ago. A drunk grandma got mad that she had so many necklaces because performers know her and come over and say hi/hand her necklaces. She started ripping them off her, punched me, tried to punch my other teen daughter. I have never been in a physical fight before and tbh it was kinda shocking that my mouth didn’t start it and also thank god grandma was drunk because just my shoulder got punched. It’s a little a little funny now but it was not at the moment.”
When asked how did Universal Orlando “make up” for the incident, u/Distinct-Swimming-62 responded with the following comment:
“They asked us how they could make it up. We were supposed to be leaving the next morning. We didn’t due to car trouble (the one time we drove instead of fly, of course), but what she wanted was to see her favorite Popeye. We didn’t know how to identify him, but they attempted a last-minute meetup with all the Popeyes. That did not work out, but she did get a private meet and greet with Popeye and Olive Oyl and Betty Boop. I have had a few people IRL say they thought UO would do more for an incident and I am sure they would have, but we are AP and it is truly our happy place. I wanted the woman to be in trouble for how she behaved and I hope she got banned.”
