Years back we evac-ed from PotC - I was SO jealous of the boats behind us that got to walk by the final scene. We were inches from the unload dock so we were told to climb forward and disembark onto the unload platform. They gave us fastpasses for anything in MK for the next few days but the lines were all 20 and under when we were there so we just kept saving them. Our last night we gave all 6 to a couple we met on the WL boat dock. They were pretty excited!

We were evac'd from Pirates in Disneyland once. We walked for 5 minutes before we saw civilization. It was a labyrinth of stairs, hallways, locker rooms, kitchens, break areas, breezeways and other backstage areas.

My most exciting evac was on Pirates last fall. One of the boats ahead got stuck as it approached the drop. The CMs had the guests in that boat try to rock it free, but were unsuccessful so they had to evac the ride. The CMs said that section of the ride is the only one they cannot evac guests from, so we had to wait for Reedy Creek Fire Department to arrive. Reedy Creek had the CMs push the boats forward then secured all the boats using ropes, then helped each guest as the guests walked across the boat, row by row back to front, then stepped onto the bumper on the front of the boat, into the next boats, then onto the exit path walkway. It was amazing how much the front of the boat dropped when you stepped on the bumper.

I've never been evacuated from a ride.

I've been sort-of evacuated off of ToT once. It didn't get stuck exactly but some teenagers decided to unlatch their seatbelts during the ride and it caused it to stop mid-drop. The elevator slowly dropped to the control room area and we had to get on a normal elevator to ride back up to the loading dock.

I was evacuated off of Dinosaur once. It was surprising how sticky the floor was. It was fun to walk back and see everything, it was kinda like a behind the scenes tour.
I have been evacuated from RnRC before. We got stuck for a good 10-15 minutes in the end tunnel.
Eventually CMs came to get us out and even if the unload area was just around the corner we had to go back inside the ride with the lights on, ended up back at loading and through a door to unloading.
It was a pretty cool experience walking through the tracks with the lights on seeing how it's all laid with all the props.

Spent hundreds of days in WDW and never once had to be evac'd. I have never had a ride break down on us, just ride stops on SSE and the Peoplemover which are very common. Universal we got stopped on Dudley and were held for about a 1/2hr. I thought we were going to evacuated, but they telling us to stay seated and the ride would restart in a few minutes and finally it started to move again.

What does Disney charge for the new "special evacuation" package?
