Peter Pan’s Biggest Fan Became a Problem

A new beauty product from Mavily New York, a setting mist with gel-to-mist technology, promises long-lasting hydration without stickiness or residue, offering a dewy, natural finish that feels like one's own skin. This product is highlighted in a promotional segment that appears to be conflated with a viral online story about a woman named Tony who allegedly developed a deep obsession with Peter Pan at Disneyland. The narrative claims Tony visits the park weekly for over a decade, repeatedly interacting with Peter Pan performers, proposing to them, and attempting physical contact. However, investigations reveal that many of these interactions are misrepresented or fabricated—some videos are AI-generated, others involve misidentified characters. A former Disney performer named Joshua confirms he was not the target and shares that he, and others, have faced harassment from fans, including inappropriate advances. Tony has responded publicly, stating she was never banned from the park, that she didn’t seek out Peter Pan, and that she’s a proud Disney adult who enjoys the park’s magic. She emphasizes her love for the character began through positive interactions with actors, and that her favorite park activity is actually the Astro Blasters game. Critics note the internet's overreaction, while the story raises questions about fan behavior, boundaries, and the nature of fandom. The narrative ultimately blends a product promotion with a sensationalized, debunked online phenomenon.

Yes, more than anyone. Nicky? Yeah? Do you love me more than Peter Pan? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. About 50,000 other YouTubers have already made a video about this topic. And you know what I have to say about that? Screw you. My video is better than yours and yes, the shirt is intentional. I was also going to wear this, you know, but it just makes too much noise and the microphone would just be like you guys would be annoyed me being like me talking the entire time and y'all hearing bells thinking that you guys are about to die or something. The most popular Disney adult is actually doing some insane numbers on TikTok right now because people are saying that she's obsessed with Peter Pan and they're also calling this obsession, too. In her name is Tony and when I first heard about her, I was so confused because I thought Tony was like a guy's name, but apparently here in the US, Tony can also be a girl's name. So like for my fellow Europeans out there, I get you guys, apparently Tony is a girl's and a guy's name. I don't know what they're doing. And in one of her videos where this now has almost 35 million views on this shit, it's her approaching Peter Pan and she has this conversation with him and I gotta say that the whole time, it's just awkward. So she got in this gift, whoa, where did you get this? I made it. I did it. I made it. This is really nice. I think. What am I supposed to do with it? Oh, I want to take a picture of you with it. Okay. No. What? So if I do look you get me like that. I'll take the notes for me though. So this is when you can kind of see a little bit that it is awkward and the guy's like, okay, so what exactly are we doing here? You've been recording me. It's fine. I took a picture with the toy that she gave him and then he hits him with like, what, what is going on? Why are you staring at me like, what else are we doing? I took the picture. Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something in my hair? Is there someone behind me like, you're kind of scaring me a little bit. And then the video continues of her saying that, oh, I want the toy back. I just wanted a picture with you, which is like, okay, fine, sure. But after that, there's this whole awkward interaction where she wants to take a picture with him and the toy, all of them being together. And it just turns out into this long awkward interaction between him and her where the entire time. He really just, the actor doesn't really know what to do because it's been minutes and minutes of this interaction going and like, it's just not ending. I'm not tired. Now what? Now you're going to take a picture with her. Okay. I know he went on a cigarette break after this. Why was this interaction so long and repetitive? Is it me or a friend was a little bossy there, where she was like, now you're going to take a picture with it, okay, sure, whatever, I guess you pay the bills. Because this interaction goes on for so long, and this video, like, there's so many cuts in this video because it was so long originally, and the video still, like, almost five minutes long, with the cuts, the line gets so long that you can see a bunch of kids surrounding her and Peter Pan, and I think there's another character that's near Peter Pan. Like, all these kids are lining up to talk to Peter Pan, but they can't because of the long awkward yapping that's been happening through this entire interaction. So right here, you can take a look at the line. So kids are coming on the left here, and then there's more kids here, there's more kids that are coming on the side here, and then there's also people waiting behind her, and there's also people that are waiting over here. I would've said I'm a hater, actually, or maybe that's what he was trying to say. And the reason why this story actually went viral wasn't just because of one video. So believe it or not, this has been happening since 2016. So for over a decade, she's been documenting these videos of going to Disney, and each year she meets a different Peter Pan, and every single year where she meets a different Peter Pan, it always seems like she's attached to these guys like she's glued to them. From 2016, down 2026, in a different perspective though, this is not as weird. You know, to go to Disneyland every year to see your favorite character. I mean, honestly, who cares? She's going to see your favorite character. Now would you believe me that she's been going to Disneyland every year, but every single week for the past 10 years, she's been going to see Peter Pan every single week. And just to confirm this, by the way, so I'm not pulling this shit out of my ass. In the video where she hands Peter Pan, the toy that she gave him, like, a plushie, I don't really know what this is, maybe it's like a Peter Pan toy plushie. Her friend that was recording this asks him, "Now we'll see you next week, great?" So she asks him, "We'll see you next week, right?" And the week after that. And the week after that. Right? Right Peter? And the clip that got everyone's attention, where people were like, hold on. Now this is getting a little creepy. There's a clip of her about 10 years ago, I believe, this happened in March 20, 2016. And in this clip in a joking way, she actually ends up proposing to one of the Peter Pan characters. So he ends up believing. I don't want you either. No. When they both reject you? What was going on at the end? Oh. Oh. Oh. See, I'm totally okay with like you asking silly questions. We're not proposing them, but like silly questions, you're there to interact. But personally, I would draw the line when you come behind me and like, hug me. Because in reality, when you think about it, I don't know you. I am here just to do my job. And I understand that you love the Peter Pan character. But there's boundaries and to come behind him and hug him. And I don't know if you guys heard it right when he says, he actually tells her, don't get any ideas. And because he got so awkward, he's like, what about my other friend? Maybe you should try proposing to him. You think that'd be the end of it that she got the hint that he was uncomfortable? Well, we're going to fast forward three months after she took that video. And it's the same Peter Pan, by the way, in this, we're going to go through so many Peter Pan's in this video. Don't be surprised if you also happen to see me in there. June 24th, 2016, she's recording Peter Pan again and he says the exact same thing, setting his boundaries like, hey, we're actually best friends. We're not going to be anything more than that. Don't get any ideas because someone has to appreciate how handsome I am. Oh, I guess you could do that for me. I mean, you always stare at me anyway. You always stare? You're my best friend. I'm so grateful that you're my best friend because we're best friends, but we're not going to be anything more than that, so don't get any ideas. The little smile at being like, don't get any ideas. Me when I had a crush in high school and she used to hint me like 50,000 times that she wasn't interested, but then I was still like being hopeful and delusional that what if one day she changes her mind like she wakes up, buckle up because this lure gets even crazier. Now the biggest theory that was going on on why she's doing this, people were saying that she was lonely and she was hinting that she wanted to be in a relationship with Peter Pan, which, you know what, if I was crazy desperate, I would probably be doing the same thing. So I'm not blaming her. Hey, it worked for Hayley Bieber, so why is this any different, you know, fucking I'll stock whoever I'm interested in who are you to judge desperate times call for desperate measures But she wasn't doing it because she was lonely because people found her Instagramming they were going through some old videos and they found out that our girl is married So now I'm a little confused because you have a whole last husband and they look really happy So like I'm happy for her, but my question is how does her husband feel about this? You know like to see all these videos of your wife being obsessed with Peter Pan like I don't know Maybe her husband is like, you know what? I don't give a fuck at the end of the day I'm the one who married her and not Peter Pan. Yeah, sir cos Peter Pan is a character Do you guys think that when they're doing mm-hmm she makes him dress up as Peter Pan? Just putting it out there and this whole story truly takes an insane turn when a random user on tech talk called Peter Pan Disney zero posted a video straight out of fucking obsession where it seems like our girl somehow got her hands into a One wish willow and she made an obsession wish because remember a few clips ago where she gave one of the Peter Pan's a Peter Pan toy the video that the Peter Pan guy posted on tech talk was a video with his toy with an air tag behind it So this would have obviously been my cue to call 911 Somebody call 911, I think someone made a one wish willow on me So obviously to a normal person this would have been very concerning but to me I'm like You think about me like that like you want to stalk me like that? Stop, I don't know is that special like you know, you can stalk me put an air tag on one of the toys that you I don't know And that's special that you thing that put you on me You can stop me. I don't care. Yeah, just I'm that special. No, I'm just kidding. Obviously. I'm just joking But this video was clearly debunked really quickly that it's AI as you can see by the air tag looks like it's Soared in there and Apple's logo is white. This is clearly some AI slop and this entire account that was made By the way the whole thing is AI slop so obviously don't believe everything that you see on the internet and here's the thing Internet loves diagnosing people and I am not a doctor and I will not be diagnosing this poor girl We can definitely call out weird behavior without being mean. She could just be socially awkward because I am also socially awkward but being socially awkward does not give someone an excuse to make someone uncomfortable while they're working So yes, I'm all for calling out weird behavior without being mean and talking about being weird People did some FBI type shit on her accounts and they found more footage of other Peter how many Peter pants Worked that Disney of these Peter pants looking a little awkward or like uncomfortable because in a lot of these clips She's kind of like chasing after them trying to hug them trying to kiss them And I think in one of them she's also trying to propose to another Peter pants What have I told you about proposing to random Peter pants like like he's not even if he's just wearing a green shirt He's not even a Peter pan at this point. We're just proposing to people with green shirts Oh my god, I wish they would propose to people with green shirts like what? Don't propose to people with green shirts People with green shirts This is from one of her videos. Does it look like the guy is trying to get a kiss here? Can I get a kiss kiss? Oh, he don't want a kiss He has no lips. How we get a kiss kiss? Very ugly no kiss for him Also not defending her actions, but this picture in particular could be a reference from the movie like from this scene right here I'm just saying just in case they were actually referencing that scene from the movie Why is he always like always like, and this is a different guy from the previous bit stalking Peter Pan A different guy. Oh my god For valentines Oh, he does not want to hug No, that's not a quick hug And there's actually a full compilation and I don't even know how they they found all the clips They found clips of people who took videos with Peter Pan and in some of these clips You can actually see our girl Tony waiting in the background Oh my god, where I'll be out. How do y'all? Oh my god There there she is Peter the horse is here And up until this point the situation has basically been one sided We haven't heard a single word from any of the Peter Pan We've watched this obsession get a little too weird. So people have been trying to find all Peter Pan's to give them to talk on a TikTok video and we did have one who just made like a random appearance and we never saw him again But we also had one who actually made a full TikTok explaining everything Hello, everyone. I'm Joshua and I used to be a character performer for Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida It recently came to my attention that there is this girl that's going viral I think her name is Tony or something like that. She was obsessed with Peter Pan at Disney World and I used to be best friends with Peter Pan I don't know what I'm saying. I'm going to include pictures of my best friend So obviously this is totally not for legal reasons or for the contract reasons that he had to sign where he mentions that One of his best friends used to be Peter Pan. This is totally not him by the way Because I know him personally like that's definitely not him that's not his job and this is also not him Like this is someone who looks like him. It could probably be his long-lost twin brother We don't know that but all we know so far that's 100% certain is that this is definitely not him And someone said is this you? No, obviously it's his bestie. Yeah, he said that in the video. That's clearly not him Girl, what are you talking about? That's his best friend that also works at Disneyland that kind of looks a little bit like him Because I also have a best friend who kind of looks a little bit like me But in this video, he actually says that he has a stalker and this stalker would come like every other day and circle back his lines And in old seriousness I don't really know if he's talking about Tony in particular in this video But he also says that he was harassed by this stalker and he didn't know how to handle it Back to the obsession with Peter Pan. I myself while swirking at Disney World had a stalker She came to my line every single shift that I was Peter Pan and likely to the other two or three people that were cast in the role of Peter Pan at the time And she would continue to circle the queue line over and over and over again to see Peter Pan Now this person was not a child. This person was easily in her late 20s early 30s And would come to my line time and time again asking disturbing questions asking a little bit S-A-S-H type questions that the character attendant that was helping me on these sets was quite unsure of how to handle this situation He also mentions in this video, by the way, that the harassment that happens to him was almost nothing compared to the harassment that Disney princesses had to go through Where in this case, he says that Disney princesses had it a lot worse with creepy men and dads That the Disney princesses endured with really creepy dads and really creepy older men That would circle the queue lines and do similar things most of the time much worse and be handsy with the princesses on cast on Disney World And actually did find a prime example of this happening at Disney And it's this clip of this woman who approaches a Disney character to originally take a picture with him And she straight up just allegedly essays this guy and grabs his chest So approaches for a picture And grabs the chest And the guy gets upset So you can clearly tell that he gets upset and she goes for another grab And not only is he so uncomfortable as you can see throughout the entire video He also says, "There's children around" I get S-A-D less as an actual stripper than a Disney character in Disneyland I honestly never thought that Disney characters would get harassed a hydrated skin that still feels like your skin. "Maybe it's Mavilyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" That's like this because you think, "Oh, you're working for Disney the most magical place in the world. It's like you're having one fun portraying a Peter Pan, you're this imaginary amazing character, and then you end up getting stalked and assayed." "I pay so much money to be put in the Peter Pan group chat right now. Can you imagine all the Peter Pan's for the past 10 years being in one group chat and sending these TikToks to each other like I am actually curious as well, like what's going on?" And that group chat included, "I'm going green, including as well in the group chat." Future lazy here with an update and Tony has finally responded to the situation of like everything that's going on. But before we get to the response, people actually found these old clips of other Disney adults being obsessed with Peter Pan, and I'm not sure why it's Peter Pan. For some reason, there's a whole like an insane fandom, and in a lot of these moments, the poor guy is literally just trying to escape running away as fast as possible. So he's trying to talk to a kid here, and do you see all the other fans? But I don't look at this now. He has a whole crowd here, and on this one, he's literally running away. Look at it, he's trying to talk to a kid, and then an adult is following him. Another adult following him. More adults following him. Dude, he's literally just trying to talk to kids. I don't think the poor guy's getting paid enough. Of course, what do you mean you're hiring me? Probably not even making enough money. So the entire day, you're going to have a bunch of stalkers. And you can see Peter Pan, again, running away like, "Why are you all following me? I'm just trying to do my job over here. Are you going to ride Peter? Sure, go ahead. I don't want to go to drive with you. Peter, what are you talking about? Oh my god. Look at him running away. Oh my god. You have to go find some treasure. And then when you find it, you have to bring it back and then we're going to go bury. The fact that he had to pull a fake game out of his booty, like, oh, let's play this other game that I just invented where I run away and you guys go find a bunch of stuff as far away from me as possible. Oh, and the caption says that this isn't Tony. Okay, so this was not Tony just to clarify everything. This was not our girl Tony. So please don't send her any hate. She's getting more than enough. And regarding her response, she actually went to USA today entertainment for her response. And I'm like, really, you could have literally just DM me DM me. I'll give you a platform. You can talk on my US, who the hell is USA today? Entertainment. And she says, I've never expected to like blow up this much of like the entire internet to know I exist. Kulu shits says that despite online rumors, she was not banned from the park. I actually was there yesterday. She says she didn't seek out Peter Pan. No, people actually started some rumors that she got banned from Disneyland. And I love how her response was. Actually, I was just there yesterday. What are you talking about? Yeah, this is my new favorite meme. You need this meme, dude. I hope you can put you can put this meme in your folder there. You know, it's like, I love this. I held a crochet dinosaur for nine weeks because we didn't see each other. I wouldn't have had it for nine weeks if I was that crazy trying to find him. I mean, I, but you, you know what? Sure. Tony, I feel like you could have ordered that a little bit better. I don't know. I wasn't holding it for him. I was gonna get it. Someone gave it to me as a gift. And I was gonna give it to him after I was holding it for 109 days. No, 109 days sounds worse. Uh, 5,000 minutes. Tony, you can't say I wouldn't have had it for nine weeks if I was that crazy trying to find him. Tony, but on a real side note, though, she says that it's been a little rough this week with the internet making memes of her. She's a proud Disney adult. I think being a Disney adult means letting out your inner child, she says, I honestly agree with that. If you're a Disney adult and not a little too crazy, I'm all for that because inner child let people have fun. She says she's been going to Disney parks since she was little, but she had an annual pass only since 2000. Only since, oh, only since 2000. Only for, like, for the past 11 years, you mean, wow, that must suck. That could never be me because personally, I've had an annual pass ever since I was born. I love how she says all this in 2015. She says she tries to go to Disneyland once a week. Sweetie, where are you getting all this money? How is no one questioning, like, where is she getting all this money? She says she relates to how Peter Pan is canonically. Oh, my God. Canonically. Canonically, the boy who never grew up, but her love of the character started because of her relationship with the actors. Wait, so then what? She met in 2015, had a positive impact on, oh, he just made a really magical experience for me the first time. First time in what sense? Tony, what's going on here? Like, you going to Disneyland, you mean? When asked her favorite thing at the park, she said, surprisingly, it's not to meet Peter Pan. My favorite thing to do is usually go to Astro Blasters, is the game when you like go shoot things? I've never heard that, so I'm happy that she actually explained what the game was. And then USA Today allegedly starts talking about Disney adults and how bad they are. Literally after just talking about Tony's experience, underneath that they're like, not all interactions from fans are welcome. And then they talk about some horrible experiences other Peter Pan actors had, like an actress playing Tinkerbell claimed she was harassed by several married, why is it, she was six? Why is it always married man? Y'all creeps, creeps, I'm telling you. How about all this energy that people have put into Tony? We take half of that and send it to these married men. No. Okay, I'm going to end this video here. Let me know what you thought about this situation. Do you think the girl was actually being weird or do you think the internet was overreacting as usual? But if you want to watch my video today early, add free, sponsor free, stalker free, consider becoming a member. Members, ignore my hair, I just got a haircut, let's not talk about it. Thank you.
