Disney Guest Jumps Off Boat, Requires Police Escort to Safety

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

Walt Disney World Resort is the “most magical place on earth,” but Guest behavior can certainly be questionable at times.

Walt Disney World is known as “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” Disney World is home to four theme parks Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Each Disney Park includes something for Guests of all ages to experience. Disney World is also home to two water parks, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

Disney World is one of the most visited theme park in the world seeing thousands of Guests daily. With this amount of traffic heading to Disney Parks some Guests tend to get out of control. Cast Members have been seen fighting, using the bathroom in random locations, in restricted areas, and much more.

Walt Disney World Resort is surrounded by swamps, marshland causing wildlife to enter the Parks. Disney World Guests have spotted raccoons, rats, birds, snakes, alligators, and many more wild animals inside the Parks.

TikTok star known as @Taraswrld was escorted back to land by the police after she and her family rented a boat on Disney’s lake, Seven Seas Lagoon. TikToker Tara decided to jump into the water, ignoring Disney’s rules about not swimming in the lake. One may think it is a lake, and Guests should be able to enjoy it, but there are reasons that these rules are in place.

Sadly on June 14, 2016, a 2-year-old old boy named Lane Graves was attacked and killed by a gator. The child was playing near the Seven Seas Lagoon water at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort when an alligator emerged and pulled him into the water. After this incident, Disney has been adamant about having state wildlife experts remove gators. Barriers were also set in place, along with signs warning of possible alligators around all beaches and waterways throughout the Walt Disney World property. This is why TikToker Tara was forced to get back onto the boat.

Disney has had several other incidents with alligators around the Parks. A 47-year-old man attacked by an alligator while he reportedly attempted to retrieve a frisbee. While Tara was not harmed while swimming in the water, we urge Guests to follow Disney World’s rules and procedures. Recently, Tara shared on Instagram photos of her during a blackout moment using the bathroom in the bushes at Disney World.

Tragedy on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

Every year, millions of fans travel to Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort in hopes of having the vacation of their dreams. Fans save up thousands of dollars and plan for months, or even years, in advance for their Disney vacation. Visiting a Disney Park and Resort is not cheap, and for many fans, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Unfortunately, not every Disney trip ends in a “Happily Ever After.” Crises and mishaps happen in the Parks just the same as everywhere else.

Disney World Changes

Every Guest of Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort hopes that their vacation will be perfect. As much as packing, planning, and research can help, nothing can prepare you for what happens when tragedy strikes on your vacation.

Yesterday, May 17, 2023, an incident occurred on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Walt Disney World. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a roller coaster that takes place in Frontierland, which is a part of Magic Kingdom. Visitors board a train car that is meant to evoke the feeling of riding on old mining equipment. The ride’s theme is inspired by the American West and the gold rush era.

Unfortunately, Guests waiting in line for the attraction were told to leave in order to make way for a stretcher.

Sadly, health crises happen in the Parks nearly every day. Things like heart attacks and strokes happen all the time, and unfortunately, they cannot be prevented by the Parks. Another common issue is Guests underestimated how physically strenuous the Parks can be. Walking for miles on end in the Florida or California heat is no joke.

In the case of this person on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, no explanation has been given. We can all wish the person affected well during this time.

Uncontrollable, Brutal Brawl Breaks Out in Magic Kingdom

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

An uncontrollable fistfight went viral after Guests were seen fighting in Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort.

Walt Disney World is known as “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” However, there are times when it seems that some Disney decide to ruin the magical fun for others. Home to four theme parks– Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Dinsey’s Hollywood Studios. Disney World is no stranger to hosting Guests, but there have been several unruly visitors as of late, and this behavior has caused major issues in Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney World is a place of happiness and excitement, but even it is not immune to occasional incidents involving unruly Guests. These incidents, however infrequent, may involve disagreements, arguments, or altercations between individuals. In such instances, Disney’s security personnel are trained to intervene promptly and resolve the situation in a calm and professional manner. Disney World’s security team will work diligently to de-escalate the situation and, if necessary, involve local law enforcement authorities. They prioritize the safety and comfort of all Guests, ensuring that any disruptive behavior is swiftly addressed and appropriate actions are taken.

MasterGraceyJr tweeted a video of a brawl that happened at Disney World this week. These Guests can be seen punching and pulling one another. The fight gets out of control as several adults fight while a Disney Cast Member pleads with them to stop. This incident happened in front of the Train Station at Magic Kingdom Park. While we are unsure what started this brawl, it is never okay to resort to violence in Disney World.

Good times at MK today. Not my vid

These Guests fighting can spot children in the background looking terrified at this moment. Disney Cast Members and Security handled this situation, and there has been no confirmation if these Guests were arrested, but they were all almost surely given bans and trespassed from the property. Disney can remove Guests for any reason they see necessary. Guests can be banned for life, removed from the Parks, and much more for the safety of others.

It is important to note that instances of Guest fighting or violence within the theme park are exceedingly rare and not condoned by the Park’s management or its dedicated Cast Members.

Disney World strives to create an environment where Guests can escape the outside world and immerse themselves in a magical experience. The park’s commitment to Guest safety, security, and satisfaction has helped it maintain its status as one of the most popular and cherished tourist destinations worldwide.

Disney World Announces Massive Ticket Price Decrease

Posted on by Mathew Corn Animal Kingdom, Disney Parks, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, Uncategorized

Tickets at Walt Disney World Resort haven’t been this affordable in quite some time!

Walt Disney World Resort is home to many magical theme parks and attractions that bring in millions of Disney Park Guests. Magic Kingdom Park, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT may be home to some of the most magical attractions in the world, but they also cost a pretty penny to enter. Guests from ages 3 & up will need a ticket to get into a Disney World theme park, and this means that the average family has to dish out an insane amount of money to afford admission to the theme parks alone, with this not even counting travel, lodging, and food.

Even the most budget-conscious families still find themselves spending close to a fortune when heading to Walt Disney World Resort, and a family of four can easily spend over $3,000 for a few days at “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” 

Disney CEO Bob Iger recently divulged that he believed the company was forcing Guests to spend too much money in the Parks. He said that he believes the theme parks should be accessible, and that’s certainly not what they’ve become over the last several years. However, if you’re willing to plan a trip to Disney World in the near future, we’ve got good news for you.

The updated Happily Ever After at the Magic Kingdom

You can actually take advantage of a Walt Disney World Resort ticket deal right now that will rival a ticket to Six Flags, Busch Gardens, or anywhere else around the country.

Disney announced today that it is offering a special summer deal for Guests, which will include a 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket for $99.00 per day ($396.00 plus tax) beginning May 23, 2023. No theme park reservations are needed for this deal, and you’ll be able to enter all four theme parks– Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios– on four separate days. While Park Hopping is not a part of the deal, this is as low of a ticket price as we’ve seen offered for Walt Disney World in quite some time.This ticket is valid for theme park admission from June 1 to September 29, 2023—subject to blockout dates from July 1 to July 4, and September 1 to September 4, 2023. The ticket expires within seven days of first use or on September 29, 2023, whichever occurs first. Tickets are not valid for admission on blockout dates.

In addition, Florida residents can take advantage of a deal on Summer Magic Tickets that are just $58.00 per day ($229.00 plus tax) for four days. With this ticket, advance theme park reservations are required and are subject to availability.

Disney DELAYS Start Time for ‘Happily Ever After’

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

After a long day of enjoying the magic of the Disney Parks, many Guests choose to spend their evening watching one of the phenomenal nighttime spectaculars that Disney offers Guests. Walt Disney World truly goes above and beyond to bring Guests incredible entertainment all day long, but for many Guests, the nighttime spectaculars cannot be beaten.

Walt Disney World Resort is currently showing five nighttime spectaculars: EPCOT Forever, Fantasmic!, Wonderful World of Animation, the Electrical Water Pageant, and Happily Ever After. Of all these shows, Happily Ever After, the fireworks show at Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom is the most popular choice amongst fans. That is why it is essential that Guests hoping to see Happily Ever After are aware that Disney has altered the show’s start time.

‘Happily Ever After’ Will Happen a Little After…

Fans were overjoyed when the Walt Disney Company announced the return of the fan-favorite firework show “Happily Ever After” would be returning to Magic Kingdom Park. This 18-minute extravaganza is one of the most beloved shows ever made by Disney, and fans from all over the world are eager to return to the Parks and see it perform once more. Fans are especially excited about the all-new projections down Main Street, U.S.A.

When You Can See ‘Happily Ever After’

While the show will still be performed every night, it is essential to know that the starting time for the show has been pushed from 9:00 p.m. to 9:20 p.m. This pushback is due to the sun setting later in the day. Happily Ever After requires a fully dark night sky. The show will likely return back to its 9:00 p.m. start time once summer is over.

This news is important so that Guests don’t feel like they are wasting time waiting for the fireworks show to begin at Cinderella Castle.
