Even though Disney World is The Most Magical Place on Earth, things can still go wrong from time to time.
Rides can break down, bad weather can shut down attractions, and the power can even go out. In the past, we’ve seen people get stuck on the Skyliner and a small fire break out near Cinderella Castle. And, just the other day, another fire happened in the parks.
This past Monday night, April 11th, 2022, a fire broke out in EPCOT. Our friends over at AllEars.net had this video sent to them by a reader showing the incident, which they said happened during Harmonious. There were no injuries reported.

The fire looks like it was right by the loading dock for the Friendship Boats that go across World Showcase Lagoon. It could have possibly started from fireworks debris.
Cast Members were able to put out the fire quickly and didn’t have to call the local Fire Department. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World news and updates.

You know…just a few years ago, Disney didn’t have so many screw-ups and breakdowns. Well, maybe quality control just isn’t that necessary anymore.

Haha, we weee standing right there, and weren’t even sure what happened, it was so fast! We heard a BIG cheer from the crowd and then saw all the smoke. The show went off without a hitch.
