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

[LAKid53]

I've seen turkeys along Western Way. Also bunnies and deer (a real one one the opposite side of the tracks on the back side of MK, not a plastic one you would see on the right).

We seen bunnies doing what bunnies do to make more bunnies.

crocs, brain eating amoebae, iguanas, parrots, monkeys
practically a DnD random monster table

don't forget the snowbirds

don't forget the snowbirds

man-eating cougars!

but yeah I remember back when I used to go to WDW a lot in the 90s and early 00s the rabbits were especially prolific around MK and the monorail resorts, like I remember often seeing three or four going from the monorail to the front gate hanging around the shrubs most times if there was a line enough to have to wait

Grilling bear meat which I haven't done is actually high in protein.

Glad it all ended okay for both the bear and the people involved.

I feel bad for the tourists who's day was potentially ruined by this. Disney should have jumped into high gear proatively working to make things right first thing - maybe they did, hopefully they did (we haven't heard anything to suggest they didn't, right?) but regardless, I'm glad this ended with some bad bear jokes and a safely relocated animal.

man-eating cougars!

I hear about these encounters.

They're apparently very prevalent in the part of the state I'm in and yet I have yet to have one, myself.

The diversity of wildlife one might see during an average third shift is staggering. They really come out to play once things are quiet in the parks.

Kind of like High School Nights, eh?

The man eating cougars tend to congregate at or near country clubs with a vibrant tennis program.

He's lookin' for Iger to knock his head CLEAN OFF

Does Iger have a bear clause in his contract?

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

You need to spend more time on US 27.

It was a refreshing, but brief, change from complaining about everything Disney does does wrong.

Well, I don't like the way Disney is handling this bear problem!

Ugh. Wake up this morning to a notification that new photos have been added to my PhotoPass. Haven't been in town since mid-August, so wasn't expecting it. And of course, it's someone else's picture. Could it be any of you? Would love to get it to your family if so.

This is UNBEARABLE

I hope they checked the Country Bear Jamboree, There might be a cast member missing!!!!

Poor bear just didn't want to wait until 2035 to discover what is beyond Big Thunder Mountain.

I read in one of the state parks they have "bear jams" from Bears being on the road. I can't even imagine
