11. The Yippie Invasion
In 1970, members of the Youth International Party (also known as YIPPIES, because yes, they really were that lame), invaded Disneyland and took over sections of it in an attempt to spread their anti-war message. This was not an effective protest as protests go. Basically the Yippies took over parts of the park and disrupted things, and then Disney Security came in and busted up the little hippie party. As silly as this all seems now, imagine if similar groups were to do the same thing – it would make news all over the world.
