What was supposed to be one man’s special day at Disney World
turned out to be less than magical.
Marc Rubin, 57, who was visiting from New York, had plans to
propose to his girlfriend in front of Cinderella’s Castle, but
things went awry when he got into an altercation with a park
employee who asked he move from the parade route.

When the cast member, Nicole Guzman-Ortiz, 24, made the request,
Rubin reportedly screamed at her, grabbed her shirt and
threatened to punch her in the face, according to the arrest
report.
But Rubin is now suing Walt Disney Parks and Resorts for more
than $15,000 over the 2015 incident, claiming he was falsely
accused of battery and wrongfully arrested, according to a
lawsuit filed late last month.
The suit claims Rubin was “willing to accommodate” Ortiz’
request to move, but asked for a “brief delay” so the rest of
his group, who were minors, could return from a concession stand
they had gone to — he said he didn't want to lose sight of them.
However, his request was denied by the park employee, despite
“legitimate safety concerns.”
Shortly after the apparent altercation between Rubin and Ortiz,
her manager came over to assist with the situation. At that
time, Rubin reportedly became loud and aggressive toward him, as
well, the arrest report states.

While the manager didn’t witness Rubin grab Ortiz, he told
police he witnessed Rubin’s “demeanor and arrogance.”
Rubin was escorted to the park’s security office and later
arrested and charged. He had planned to propose at the
conclusion of the night’s festivities.
A spokesperson for Disney told Fox News, "The safety of the
people who work in and visit our parks is very important to us.
We will respond to the allegations as appropriate in court.”
