NEWS: Expedition Everest Broke Down in Disney World, Leaving Guests Stranded

Even in the Most Magical Place on Earth, things can still go wrong.

Tree of Life

You could miss your dining reservation, the character you were looking for had to take a break, and in rare cases — you might even get stuck on a ride! That’s exactly what happened to folks enjoying one particular Animal Kingdom attraction.

Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom appears to be having a bit of a problem — and quite a big one at that! We were strolling past the attraction when we happened to notice it looked stuck.

Uh oh!

We spoke with Cast Members who told us that it had been stuck for over 30 minutes. Not only that, but a nearby parkgoer shared with us that her husband and child were stuck on a different train — at the part of the ride where you start to go backward.

Doesn’t look good!

Cast Members didn’t share what went wrong, just that they were working on getting things going again. Rides can malfunction and break down for any number of reasons in Disney World — if it happens to you, try to stay calm! Cast Members are trained for this sort of thing and will likely give you instructions to stay put until they get things moving. In worst-case scenarios, an evacuation might be necessary. Make sure you listen to Cast Members so you stay safe!

We’ll be on the hunt for more news from around Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest!
