Florida Injury Report Lists Two Disney Cases and a Death at Universal Orlando

Overview

• The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ quarterly report, published April 15th, covers January through March 2026 and lists 12 incidents across six theme parks and one water park, including a death at Universal Orlando.
• Walt Disney World reported two cases for the quarter, detailing a 65-year-old guest who fell exiting Prince Charming Regal Carrousel and injured her pelvis and a 40-year-old guest with a pre-existing condition who hurt her shoulder on Kali River Rapids.
• Universal properties accounted for multiple entries, with three separate health events on the Hogwarts Express and additional reports such as stroke-like symptoms after Jurassic World VelociCoaster and Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness and a fainting episode on Fast & Furious — Supercharged.
• Florida Statute 616.242 requires parks to call the state within four hours and submit a written report within 24 hours when a guest seeks hospital or urgent care treatment, and the file does not track outcomes or prove causation.
• Coverage highlights a growing gap in public perception as Disney’s low count reinforces its safety reputation while Universal faces heightened scrutiny, though no new enforcement actions or rule changes are reported.
