Overview
- Multiple headliner attractions including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh went offline during a wave of closures on Saturday, June 6.
- 'it's a small world' opened normally but was listed as temporarily closed from about 11:00 a.m. through the evening, leaving the high‑capacity boat ride unavailable for roughly nine to ten hours.
- Most affected rides recovered and reopened later the same day while Walt Disney World Resort has not publicly identified a cause for the widespread outages.
- Guests posted frustration on social media and some users speculated about power issues, and the extended downtime worsened crowding because 'it's a small world' normally absorbs large numbers of Fantasyland visitors.
- The incident adds to a pattern of operational disruptions this year, including a spring monorail evacuation and earlier extended ride downtimes, a trend that could heighten scrutiny of park reliability and prompt calls for an official explanation.
