Things don’t always go as planned in Disney World, and as scary as it may be to think about, emergencies do happen.

It’s important to keep this in mind when planning your trip, especially if you’re traveling with kids, because it’s important to have a plan in place if something goes wrong. Whether that’s someone getting lost, an emergency happening inside the park, an attraction getting shut down and evacuated while part of your group is outside the line, etc. Sometimes, events happen that you have no control over, and it’s important to listen to Cast Members to ensure everyone stays safe — that’s exactly what just happened yesterday in Magic Kingdom.

A user on Instagram, @thefloridapickers, caught a video of an emergency that took place in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland the other day. Cast Members were moving people out of the area and off of the PeopleMover, as there was smoke pouring out from an area beneath the ride, close to the attraction’s track.

Cast Members were instructing guests to move away from the area quickly, though many guests didn’t seem to be in too much of a rush. Remember, if Cast Members are telling you to move away or to go somewhere, it’s for a reason! Moving quickly and with purpose is essential to ensuring that everyone remains safe.

The video also captures what appears to be flames underneath part of the track, which seemed to be the cause of the smoke. Disney has not put out any official statement about the incident, and fortunately, it appears no one was hurt.

Cast Members didn’t appear to be evacuating the entire area, as the video does show multiple guests in line for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin nearby.
