Tabbatha Mature, of New Baltimore, Michigan, was arrested on Wednesday night for child abuse after the alleged incident at the Magic Kingdom theme park in Florida
The family had allegedly asked the girl to sit down when the show started so they could see.
Mature allegedly became aggravated when she couldn't see, prompting the girl and her friends to leave, according to the arrest report.
As they left, the girl told Mature that she could 'take our spot'.
Police said Mature then grabbed the girl by her neck and allegedly squeezed her hands around her throat.

When she let go of the girl, she allegedly started screaming 'you don't want to mess with me'.
The girl and her friends reported the incident to a Disney World employee.
She did not have visible injuries but agreed to press charges after speaking with her mother on the phone.
Mature was arrested on a child abuse charge and was booked into the Orange County Jail. She was released on a $2,000 bond.
Honestly, the best place to watch the fireworks is on one of the water ferries.
It's awesome.
