Child Climbs Sonny Eclipse Stage at Magic Kingdom, Triggers Safety Shutdown

Built-in safety interlocks stopped the figure as staff quickly removed the child.

Overview

  • TikTok user @fortiffany posted video of a young guest crossing the low barrier at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café and stepping onto Sonny Eclipse’s stage.
  • The clip shows the child touching the animatronic and piano keys, which prompted the show to halt as protective systems activated.
  • Cast Members intervened within seconds, escorted the child off the restricted platform, and checked the set before allowing the performance to continue.
  • No injuries or lasting damage have been reported, and the Sonny Eclipse loop resumed normal operation shortly after the interruption.
  • Outlets framed the viral moment within heavier holiday crowds and recent guest-behavior reports, including a separate Wilderness Lodge ‘verbal fight’ noted on social media that remains unconfirmed by officials.
