News Disney World's Magic Kingdom is experiencing widescale attraction closures this morning due to a bear

I get the feeling 12pm day parade isn’t happening.

Should send all those characters to Town Square for a surprise set.

Surprise M&G with Baloo, Duffy, Br’er Bear and the Country Bears?

Unfortunately this will cause a two year delay for the Splash Mountain retheme to Tiana's. Plus, it was really hot out today-Bob Iger.

My latest info is the bear is on the move, but still in the park.

Do they not have someone on call to tranquilize the bear? Disney owns a whole zoo...

We now have a photo of the Bear after falling out of the tree

One must have Florida Fish and Wildlife commission for permission to do so. It can't just be done.

That being said, it is kind of bad on Disney's part that this still going on for being a resort with so many resources that is aware these things can happen with all the land they have.

Disney is already capitalizing on this with new merch.

Bet Iger regrets laying off Tranquilizer Guy now, huh?

Everyone sing along.

"All the trees bears play on close ten rides down!"

As a city gal that's never seen a real bear, that would be real cool for me. I didn't even know Florida HAD bears

We can't have Animal Kingdom cast members in the Magic Kingdom, that would ruin the immersion or something.

Oh yes, many blackbears. Harder to find in populated areas and not as big typically as ones elsewhere in the country(kind of like FL deers in that sense)


There was one years ago on Hard Rock Hotel grounds at Universal.


Don't forget, much of the cast of the Country Bears are from FL. The bonnet trio are from Tampa!


Great photo!

Side note, while the attractions are down I imagine this means much of the restaurants and revenue options are closed in those areas as well.

Right?

I am assuming that there is a hard close on Frontier and Adventure Lands? No guests being permitted to enter?

It’s a perfect up-selling opportunity.

This would never have happened on RCID's watch!

How did it get in without a Magic Band?

Yes the lands are closed.

God's speed to those at Guest Services today.

Its probably a imaginer surveying the land for expansion possibilities

Well “Josh” did say “high gear” in magic kingdom?

Amma right, Lazy?

Is it common for Real Bears to be around, outside MK's Property? Or is this a Got away? Serious Question.
