Earlier today we shared about our experience on the Disney Word monorail and how that took longer than expected due to some technical issues. We’ve also shared news about Skyliner crashes in the past and more. Most recently, we shared with you the news about a fire reported near Cinderella Castle tonight, and now we’ve got an update on that situation.
As we shared earlier, according to a DFB reader, Cinderella’s Royal Table was evacuated and emergency response vehicles were sent to the Castle after a Cast Member reported a fire.

The area surrounding the castle was also evacuated. One individual shared a video explaining that there was visible smoke coming from the bridge underneath Cinderella Castle and multiple emergency vehicles on-site.

Later on, Cast Members moved guests away from the Castle and blocked off a portion of Main Street, U.S.A.

Now, we’ve gotten an update about Disney’s response to the fire. According to Scott Gustin on Twitter, Disney World issued the following statement about the fire, “There was a small fire in Magic Kingdom. The fire was quickly extinguished by fire extinguishers. No one was hurt.”
Scott Gustin thereafter posted another tweet noting that the fire was reportedly put out by a single fire extinguisher.
