Breaking: Epcot rides suddenly evacuate and close to Guests

It appears there is some type of urgent situation happening in Epcot. Two Epcot rides suddenly evacuate and close to Guests. Here is what we know so far.

Evacuations at Disney World

After so many months of planning and preparing for a Disney World trip, no one wants to see that a ride is down during their visit. But, this is exactly what happens sometimes. Whether it be a mechanical issue or some other type of incident that requires a closure, it can surely be disappointing.

We have seen several closures just this past week, despite it being one of the busiest weeks of the year in the parks. Both Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at Epcot both closed to Guests.

Unfortunately, Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster is a longer closure. We are told it is due to positive cases among Cast Members. Read HERE for the whole story.

Epcot Incident

It appears Disney is starting the new year with an incident at Epcot, although we are not exactly sure what. According to some comments in our Kenny the Pirate Crew Facebook group, The Seas with Nemo & Friends was evacuated in a rather panicky manner by Cast Members.

The original post says it was hastily evacuated and the staff was in a panic. A commenter responds with the ride stopped, the lights came on, and as soon as they got off the ride, Cast Members told them to immediately leave the building. They were old the ride was fine and not the issue, but they needed to get out of the building.

The Seas with Nemo & Friends was evacuated in a rather panicky manner by Cast Members.

Not only that, but Turtle Talk with Crush is also closed according to the wait times on My Disney Experience. Check out the screenshot above. Since the two are right next to each other, it could be a precaution.

At this time, we also do not see any active calls for service by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. It could be a fire alarm, or something more serious. We will be sure to update if necessary.
