Security at Disney's California Adventure Park had to pepper spray a drunk and disorderly man over the weekend, and while park goers were shocked to see such a display at Disneyland, 97.3 KIRO FM host Luke Burbank says he can identify with the man taking a few drinks before facing a day at the park.
"Does that make me un-American? The fact that I don't go in for Disneyland?" asked Burbank in a conversation on 97.3 KIRO FM's Ross and Burbank Show. "Disneyland gives me the willies for some reason. I can on some level, identify with 52-year-old Glenn Horlacher."

Apparently drunk, Horlacher was caught on video being combative with Disney security guards. When the guards asked him to remain on the ground, Horlacher continued getting up. The guards used pepper spray to subdue him.
In the video, other park attendees can be heard yelling at Horlacher.
"What are you drunk? Disgusting," said one woman. "You're in Disneyland."
To which Horlacher responds, "I know where I'm at."
While some on Main Street USA might see Horlacher's disorderly drunkenness at Disneyland as a crime, Burbank said for him, libations are near essential for Disneyland to live up to its claim of being "the happiest place on earth."
USA Today reports Horlacher was booked for assault and battery.
"You drink one to two bottles of wine, it does start to feel a little bit like the happiest place on earth."
