Overview
- A near property-wide outage began just after 5 p.m. on August 29, with reports showing roughly 32 to nearly 45 attractions marked temporarily closed across Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom.
- Major headliners were affected, including Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
- Indoor attractions were among those down, which outlets noted is atypical for routine weather protocols and consistent with a potential electrical issue.
- A Transportation and Ticket Center cast member told Disney Food Blog the closures were due to a power outage, though Disney had not issued a confirmed cause.
- Some attractions and transportation systems, including portions of Monorail service, began to recover later in the evening, with delays and backups reported during the busy Labor Day weekend kickoff.
