Crocs have become dangerous at Disney World, but Crocs with teeth and scales are not dangerous.

Walt Disney World has reportedly declared war on Crocs on your feet after multiple incidents of foam sliders blocking escalators.

A Florida amusement park has “banned” the popular footwear, at least on escalators. This was due to problems with shoes getting chewed up and getting stuck in escalator teeth. Reported by Inside the Magic.

Escalators inside the Land Pavilion at Disney’s Epcot are adorned with stickers featuring the unmistakable silhouette of an alligator surrounded by a red circle. According to a photo shared on X Wednesday.

Shoes are the main reason why the escalators at The Land Pavilion stop.

Last month, a father posted a video on TikTok of a white crocodile sticking its front end straight up over an escalator tread, accompanied by comedic music.

Then, in January, photos of a similar accident began circulating online.

Atop the same escalator was a “Sidewalk Closed” tent sign, with rainbow tie-dyed Crocs poking toe-first into the mechanical teeth hidden beneath.

A similar clock fiasco was reported years ago at The Land Pavilion.

A clip from July 2022 shows a woman walking up a fixed escalator and, upon reaching the top, discovering a black crocodile that was nearly half eaten by a machine.

“So Cinderella lost her crocodile, so I had to walk,” the woman said, laughing.

A quick Google search turned up dozens more photos of the same type of shoes stuffed into moving stair machines, going back many years.

According to a post from the same year, signs prohibiting Crocs have been placed on escalators at Disney Springs since at least 2021. Disney Food Blog.

Images of trapped Crocs have been hilarious online, but the shoes are actually dangerous, especially for young children.
