Half a century ago this summer, Walt Disney World opened a water park styled like something out of Huck Finn — complete with rope swings, a mountain-fed swimmin' hole, and the first water slides most Americans had ever seen. Here's the story of River Country at 50.
A guest-shot TikTok video that went viral this week shows flames beneath at least one PeopleMover vehicle on the return side of the track at Magic Kingdom on Tuesday June 9. The guest alerted cast members; the attraction went down around midday and was running again roughly 35 minutes later. No injuries were reported, and Disney has not publicly addressed the video. WDW News Today broke the story on June 10.
A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck off the northwest coast of Cuba at 2:00:28 p.m. ET today, with tremors felt across Central Florida including Walt Disney World. Disney temporarily closed more than 10 attractions for safety inspections, concentrated at Magic Kingdom, with single closures at EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs. By 5:40 p.m. ET all rides had reopened except Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. No injuries, no property damage, and no tsunami warning were reported.
Disney walked select outlets through the Monstropolis construction site at Hollywood Studios on June 4 and dropped a coordinated embargo lift. New reveals: a first-ever Disney suspended roller coaster with a first-ever vertical lift through "the door vault," a post-Monsters Inc. land setting on "H.U.M.A.N. Day" (Humans Understand Monsters Are Nice), Harryhausen's replacing Mama Melrose with a giant chopsticks-and-eyeball facade, and a Glob Theater taking over MuppetVision.
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom has 34 days left before its July 5 final performance and a multi-year reimagining that runs through 2027. The Imagineering team announced May 28 that the show is getting four new acts, an off-planet future scene, and the first Walt Disney audio-animatronic at Walt Disney World, while preserving the original family and the Sherman Brothers' anthem. As Memorial Day weekend wraps and Flower & Garden ends today, the clock on the original show is genuinely ticking.
