Disney Reinstalls Secured Trash Cans on Magic Kingdom Ferries After Injury Crash

Overview

• Trash cans have been returned to the Magic Kingdom ferryboats and are now secured to the flooring to prevent movement.
• Each receptacle is anchored at 36 points with metal sheets flanking a nearby pole and fastened to the can, according to reported details.
• Disney removed all ferry trash cans in the weeks following the July incident in which the vessel made a sudden hard landing at the dock.
• Emergency officials declared a mass casualty incident that night, and 19 guests were transported to hospitals with reported fractures and other injuries, including one child reportedly struck or pinned by a trash can.
• The ferries were also involved in an April crash earlier this year, and Disney has not publicly commented on the incidents or the operational changes.
