Fire Erupts at Disney Worlds Epcot, Prompting Evacuation of Theme Park Ride Visitors

A fire broke out at EPCOT, one of the parks at Walt Disney World, on Saturday evening, prompting an evacuation of visitors from the “Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure” ride. The incident occurred just after 7 p.m. in the France Pavilion of the park, where dark smoke was seen rising from the attraction.

Disney officials confirmed that all guests were safely evacuated from the ride, which features a 4D experience where visitors join Chef Remy on a culinary adventure through a Parisian kitchen. The fire reportedly started in a backstage area of the attraction.

Videos shared on social media captured the thick plume of smoke against the clear blue Florida sky, alarming guests enjoying the International Flower & Garden Festival taking place at EPCOT. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and local authorities quickly extinguished the fire.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and Disney has not yet commented on the situation. The quick response from park officials ensured the safety of everyone present, allowing visitors to continue enjoying their time at the park after the incident was resolved.
