This “magical” moment was shared Thursday on the Reddit platform across the Atlantic and shows a couple who are about to immortalize their love.
The crowd that has gathered can be heard exclaiming an "aww" full of tenderness in front of the stage.
But as the man has taken out the box for the ring, a member of the Disneyland Paris entertainment team approaches, grabs the ring and signals to the couple to get off the stage!
A truly embarrassing gesture that immediately arouses strong disapproval from witnesses.
An apology from Disneyland Paris
According to the video, the couple were in an apparently restricted area, but access to which would have already been authorized by another Disneyland Paris employee, which is confirmed by the couple's best friend who posted the video. on Reddit.
The decorum of this small promontory just in front of the castle of Sleeping Beauty, was surely intended to make this moment even more magical.
The Disney employee who appears in the video with Mickey ears as a headgear then addresses the groom.
"Yes, but it's going to be even better from here," he explains awkwardly to the man whose marriage proposal he has just ruined.
The video quickly went viral and has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.
According to several American media, Disneyland Paris apologized to the couple.
“We regret the way this was handled.
We apologized to the couple involved and offered to work things out,” the park said.
Damage all the same for the image of the park whereas a commercial offer of marriage proposal exists on the Internet site of Disneyland Paris.
