    So some park guests got it in their head that it would be a good idea to climb the “Tree of Life”, the iconic symbol in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.  Gonna go out on a limb here and say this is on the list of things to not do at Disney World.

    Onlookers hoped the trespassers would just make like a tree and leave. The Four guests were caught quickly after the shenanigans, but according to reports they were up there for a good twenty minutes.  Plenty of time for guests to see the whole thing and even snap a few photos.

    The incident took place on Sunday around 2 p.m. and is slightly reminiscent of when a park guest tried climbing The Mexico Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase. The Tree of Life stands 145-foot-high and has numerous animals that “appear to magically emerge” from it, but no one though people would end up emerging from it.

    Luckily no one was injured and security got them to come down rather quickly.

    There has been no word on if there were any repercussions for the guests, but this is the type of behavior that can easily get you banned for life.
