Okay, here's the dwarf brawl story.
This was my first contribution to the classic "What's the strangest thing you've seen at WDW" thread. I'm going by memory, but it's a true story and my post went something like this:
"My strangest thing actually happened at
Disneyland back in 1975. I was born and raised in Long Beach, but we were selling our house and moving to the Midwest, so my mom dropped my younger brother and I off at Disneyland one summer morning for one last visit before we left.
I was 15, he was 14, and we had a blast running around the park, hitting rides, eating, hanging at the old Magic Store, playing the old arcade games. . .
We were supposed to meet our folks out front at 6pm, so around a quarter 'til we headed that way. We got to the area between the train station and ticket booths were you could see the pick-up/drop-off area and didn't see our car, so we hung out there waiting om them.
In the area, Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs were interacting with guests coming and going and we were watching that, when a group of 5 or 6 wanna-be gang-bangers (around our age) pushed their way through the crowd and one said something to the young lady playing Snow White. I couldn't hear what was said, but Snow said something back, and the kid reached out and grabbed her in a inappropriate place.
Next thing I knew, one of the Dwarfs slammed his plastic head into the kid and knocked him back, Snow screamed, and the brawl was on!
The gang-bangers were winging punches at the Dwarfs, but their big plastic heads absorbed the blows; the Dwarfs were winging punches at the gang-bangers, but their floppy arms weren't doing much damage either. Pretty soon Dwarfs and gang-bangers were rolling around fighting, with about a hundred people standing around in stunned silence.
Just as security arrived, I noticed my folks pull up and my brother and I got the heck out of there. On the way home we told them about what would be called "The Great Dwarf Brawl of '75" to this day.
We moved soon after."
