Things at Disney World might be magical and fun, but they’re not always perfect.
EPCOT
Technical difficulties, a fire, and other issues can impact Disney rides and parks, ultimately leading to evacuations or temporary closures. We’ve been evacuated from our fair share of Disney spots in the past, and today we got to experience another evacuation in EPCOT.
During our time in EPCOT today, we experienced an evacuation from the Mexico pavilion.

Evacuation in Progress
Guests were then directed out of the pavilion.
Being Evacuated
You can see guests going up the ramps…
Working Their Way Out
…and ultimately out of the pavilion.
Guests Being Directed to Leave
QUITE the crowd formed outside as guests were sent out.
Quite the Crowd
The area in front of the Mexico pavilion can be crowded as it is, so the sudden addition of guests from inside the pavilion only added to the busy nature of the space.
Guests Leaving
But just as quickly as they left, guests started to form a line to get back in.
Time to Go Back!
An announcement was made that the Mexico pavilion itself would open before the ride inside — the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros. That would lead us to believe that the evacuation may have had to do with the ride. From what we discovered in speaking with Cast Members, the evacuation did appear to be ride-related. We inquired with some Cast Members about the situation, but were unable to get more details.

Before too long, the pavilion was open once again!
