This morning two Tomorrowland Transit Authority trains collided at the Magic Kingdom. Read on for more details.
According to various users on Twitter, two Tomorrowland Transit Authority trains collided this morning in the Magic Kingdom on the Peoplemover attraction.
Guests shared pictures of the collision, and it is difficult to tell from the pictures exactly what is happening.
No injuries have been reported as of this writing. We at Kenny the Pirate sincerely hope that all guests involved were uninjured and that they get some serious Fastpass+ love from the mouse for having endured such a scary incident.
The Twitterverse is mocking the incident as just another piece of evidence that things are falling apart at the seams under Bob Chapek’s leadership.
More than likely, it’s just some unfortunate timing for Disney’s new CEO. Between the Jungle Cruise boat incident yesterday, the heavy police presence near Epcot, and continued closings of the Asian Disney parks due to the coronavirus it’s been a tough week for the Disney Parks family.
Neither of these incidents will affect my family’s touring plans. My son absolutely loves the Peoplemover and probably considers it one of the top three attractions at the Magic Kingdom (he’s not big on thrills).
As for the Jungle Cruise, it’s my husband’s absolute favorite. Plus, the skipper knew exactly what to do.
Plus, the twitter user who first shared the photos of their boat with water covering their feet reassured us that wet feet was the worst of the incident.
We will share more information, or write another post when and if Disney Parks releases an official statement.
What do you think? Do either of these incidents make you nervous for your next park visit? Think it is indicative of an overall trend of a lack of attention to park operations? Let us know in the comments on Facebook, and let’s keep the conversation going in our Facebook group.

My wife and I got stuck on Pirates of the Caribbean one time. Took about ten minutes before the lights came up. Does kind of change your view on the ride a little when you see it all uncovered. We sat there another 15 minutes waiting for them to “fix” the problem and repeatedly listen to the recording telling us to stay seated. Finally when people were getting really tired of it, they told us people were coming to help us off the ride. Men in waders had to come into the water to release the boats one at a time and move them to the side where we could step out. Probably about 45 minutes from beginning to end. We were warned repeatedly that we had to go behind the scenes to get out and ABSOLUTELY no pics, and to not discuss it with anyone. At the end of a long dark winding walk inside the ride, where you could hardly see (I fell on one knee- lady in front of us fell down on both) we exited. We were late getting started on mickey’s Christmas party that we had bought tickets for- and they gave us one fast pass each for 1 ride. Really felt they dropped the ball on that one.
