New Lawsuit Alleges Magic Kingdom Fireworks Debris Caused Eye Injury

A related suit by a family over a child struck by an ember advanced after a judge said whether fireworks are ultra‑hazardous requires fact-finding.

Overview

  • A North Carolina guest alleges smoldering debris from the Happily Ever After show struck his eye on November 24, 2023, causing significant injury.
  • He filed the complaint in Orange Circuit Court on October 31, 2025, nearly two years after the reported incident.
  • The suit claims Disney failed to account for wind and weather and characterizes the pyrotechnics as an ultra‑hazardous activity requiring heightened safeguards.
  • Disney has not responded to recent requests for comment, and the plaintiff’s attorney declined to provide details about the injury or viewing location.
  • An earlier, similar case tied to a March 2023 ember injury remains pending after a judge denied Disney’s motion to dismiss, keeping core safety questions in play.
