Guest Drops $50,000 Lawsuit Over Magic Kingdom Trolley Tracks

The voluntary dismissal ends the case without a judicial finding on fault and leaves the park’s trolley-track design unchanged.

Overview

  • The plaintiff filed a Court Notice of Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, which permanently ends the lawsuit and bars refiling of the same claim.
  • The suit grew from an alleged trip-and-fall near Cinderella Castle on October 24, 2025 and was originally filed in Orange County on December 22, 2025 by a Kentucky resident.
  • In her complaint the guest said embedded steel rails and flangeways on Main Street, U.S.A. created gaps and level changes that caused permanent injuries and more than $20,000 in medical costs, and she sought $50,000 in damages.
  • Disney denied liability in early 2026, called the tracks an open and obvious park feature, argued the guest was negligent under Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule, and demanded a jury trial.
  • Because the dismissal was voluntary and with prejudice, no judge or jury decided fault and the park’s longstanding trolley-track design remains in place with no legal precedent set.
