More Than 40 Disney World Attractions Down Across All Four Parks Friday Afternoon

Reports of a power surge remain unverified, leaving the cause unclear.

Overview

  • Thrill-data flagged a mass downtime just before 5 p.m., with closures spanning Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios.
  • BlogMickey cited an unnamed source pointing to a power surge on property, a claim not confirmed by Disney.
  • A large storm was over the southern portion of the resort during the outages, though any link to the downtime remains uncertain.
  • Operational impacts were severe in spots, with only Kilimanjaro Safaris running at Animal Kingdom and Tower of Terror later reopening as the lone ride at Hollywood Studios.
  • Dozens of indoor attractions were also offline, and Disney had not provided an explanation or timeline for full restoration as partial reopenings began.
