So much for the happiest place on Earth.

A fight broke out at Walt Disney World on Monday after one family asked another to move out so they could take a photo in front of the park’s 100th anniversary sign.

Shocking video from inside the park shows the group punching each other, with a man on the ground, in front of the sign as Disney employees call for backup.

The families were screaming and cursing at each other before workers and a security guard arrived to separate them, with the man on the ground struggling to get up and choosing to remain seated, footage shows.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said at least one person received medical attention after the fight, but declined to press charges.

Police said the fight broke out at 2.30pm when one of the family members who were asked to move punched a member of the other family in the face.

Walt Disney World Resort did not immediately respond to the Post’s request for comment.

Fights that break out in the Magic Kingdom are not that uncommon.

Disney issued a warning in late 2022 against unruly behavior at its Florida and California theme parks following an upsurge in violence.

Last July, a massive brawl involving at least 10 people broke out when families argued outside Mickey’s PhilharMagic Theatre.

The incident led to two arrests and several people were banned from Disney parks.
