Overview
- Rolling lightning holds on Tuesday, June 30 closed roughly 20 to 32 attractions across Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom as outlets reported status at different times.
- Multiple major headliners were affected, including Space Mountain, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, Slinky Dog Dash and Expedition Everest.
- The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the Orlando area and Disney followed its policy of suspending outdoor and partially outdoor attractions when lightning is detected nearby.
- Guests were directed to use the My Disney Experience app and ask cast members for live updates while indoor rides, shows and restaurants served as shelter; some reports also noted evacuations at Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom and intermittent power surges.
- Discrepancies in closure totals reflect snapshot reporting and staggered reopenings as storms moved through, and closures typically end on a rolling basis once lightning clears the immediate area.
