Deleting this since can’t confirm.

Edit: Re-edited title. Original post was that there were unconfirmed reports of an active shooter and people being told to shelter in place in shops, in restaurants, backstage, and in the utilidoors with accompanying photos and videos. I deleted when I couldn’t find any news source anywhere reporting it, but it turns out that the sheltering part was accurate, based upon a false alarm/scare that started when a guest heard a balloon popping during a fight.

Example of Social Media Post (this person later posted in this thread):

A couple reports on Twitter, some about moving guests backstage, some about not letting folks leave. One with a video of what looks like guests listening to a CM in the bypass, but it’s hard to tell if it’s current or old. Could just be circular reporting, or something really happening.



Edit: seems Twitter post with video was deleted, so I’m guessing it might not be real.

Ive read a couple reports from people that there was a fight near the Monorail and some idiot shouted a panic word and now everything's a mess.

Just to be clear there has been no confirmation of a gun being seen or heard. Its seeming more likely that it was a fight that caused the initial chaos and it spiraled from there. In abundance of caution they put the park into lockdown. When they could confirm there was no threat they started allowing guests to leave (Except via the monorail). Heavy police presence on sight which is adding to the panic.
