Disney might consider rebranding as the Scrappiest Place on Earth after two families came to blows Monday at its Florida theme park.

One family was standing by the Magic Kingdom sign in Disney World when another family asked it to move so it could take a photo, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

A member of the group responded by punching a person from the other group in the face, and the melee followed.

Video of the fight shows a person already on the ground as a man from one family is punched by a man from the other family. The man who threw the punch is then taken to the ground by a group of men and women, with one of the men seen striking him in the head multiple times.

One person received medical attention at the scene, authorities said, but no one pressed charges. Two people were booted from the park.

Scrums at both Disney World and Disneyland made headlines last year.

At California’s Disneyland, patrons got into a fight during the nightly “Fantasmic!” in May.

At Orlando’s Disney World, two families fought in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland in July, then two guests battled at EPCOT park in December.
