BREAKING: EPCOT’s Land Pavilion Has Been Evacuated in Disney World

Even in the Most Magical Place on Earth, things can still sometimes go wrong.

EPCOT

You hope it won’t happen to you, but it’s best to be prepared no matter what ends up happening on your trip. From missed reservations to ride malfunctions and more, expecting the unexpected is always a good plan in Disney World. And, some folks at EPCOT today certainly experienced what we’d call unexpected.

The Land Pavilion was evacuated in EPCOT on February 27th around 12:30PM. Cast Members shared that fire alarms had gone off and the entire building was evacuated.

Cast Members were stationed out in front of the pavilion, answering guests’ questions and, ultimately, stopping them from going in. They shared that this wasn’t a drill, so the situation is being taken very seriously.

Anyone who had a Lightning Lane for a ride inside the pavilion during the evacuation was given an Experience Redemption (A.K.A. a “free” Lightning Lane pass) to use later in the day since they had to deal with the inconvenience.

The Cast Members didn’t share any more information, so if you’re thinking about heading to the Land Pavilion right now — don’t! We’re not sure how long it will be closed, but will keep you updated with the latest information.
