Overview

• Multiple reports say a strong storm hit around 10 p.m. on September 7, prompting Disney to suspend outdoor entertainment and direct crowds out of Magic Kingdom.
• Guests described several attractions with technical issues before the storm, with some rides closing for the night and others briefly reopening before shutting down again.
• Thousands left early as attendees recounted long delays, congested exits, and what some characterized as an unorganized evacuation.
• Fan forums and social posts documented the night’s conditions, with some posts later removed by moderators for rule violations.
• Eyewitnesses reported transportation challenges after the park cleared, including limited tram operations and hazardous driving with severely reduced visibility.
