Guests were alarmed when flames were spotted at Tomorrowland's Transit Authority PeopleMover. Find out what we know about this incident.
Emergency Warnings
Many dream of a trip to a Disney Park. Much planning, preparation, and saving go into a dream vacation.
Even if the unexpected, like a rain shower, happens, many feel that a "rainy day at Disney is still better than a sunny day at home." Unfortunately, even the Walt Disney Company cannot create the ideal park day.
Disney trains Cast Members in the "5 Keys" which help to provide the highest quality of hospitality to all guests. These include Safety, Courtesy, Inclusion, Show, and Efficiency. Safety is listed first and is vitally important to provide safety for all guests and fellow Cast Members.
PeopleMover Fire
We have seen several fire alerts over the past few weeks, and many are handled quickly and oftentimes are backstage. Most of these emergency events go unnoticed by Guests.
Walt Disney Active Calls reported a fire alert at Magic Kingdom yesterday, June 10, 2026, at 12:38 pm.
The timing of this call coincided with a video shared by @roycesclips on TikTok showing a fire beneath the PeopleMover attraction.
PeopleMover Closure
Thankfully, Cast Members sprang into action. The Tomorrowland's Transit Authority PeopleMover closed immediately and reopened later in the day. As of today, June 10, 2026, the PeopleMover has remained open all day.
A fire temporarily shut down Tomorrowland's Transit Authority PeopleMover on June 9, 2026.
If you are at the Disney Parks and notice an emergency, report this quickly the nearest Cast Member.
