Localized breaks in exposed lines reflect typical freeze expansion in infrastructure built for warm weather.

Overview

  • Guests reported visible leaks and ice on railings and planters early Sunday as temperatures plunged overnight.
  • Cast Members blocked small sections, shut off water where needed, and maintenance crews began repairs and stabilization.
  • Incidents were isolated rather than widespread, with most attractions, dining, and festival offerings operating normally.
  • Temperatures rose later in the day, melting visible ice as crews isolated affected sections for repair and pressure testing.
  • Social posts cited wind chills in the low teens, including a tweet claiming 12 degrees, though those figures come from limited sources.
