Disneyland apologizes after employee grabs ring during a romantic marriage proposal at Sleeping Beauty Castle

• A Disneyland employee interrupted a marriage proposal by grabbing the ring out of the man's hand.
• The man proposed on a platform in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Paris.

Disney has apologized to a couple whose marriage proposal was interrupted by a Disneyland Park employee.

In a 21-second viral video, a man can be seen getting down on one knee to propose to his partner while standing on a platform in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Paris.

As he pulls out the box with the ring, a Disneyland employee runs between the couple, grabs the ring, and directs them off the platform.

The confused-looking couple follows as the man attempts to speak with the employee.

"Yes, that's great, but over here it's going to be even better," the Disneyland employee says, continuing to direct the couple away from the platform.

People can be heard booing the employee at the end of the video.

The video went viral after a Reddit user with the name u/wasgehtlan posted it to the "I Am a Total Piece of Shit" forum, having gained nearly 95,000 upvotes at the time of writing.

The person who posted the video claimed to be a friend of the couple and said in the comments that a different employee had given them permission to go on the platform after learning the man was planning to propose.

"We regret how this was handled," a Disney representative told Newsweek. "We have apologized to the couple involved and offered to make it right."
