Passengers Evacuated After Disney Springs Amphicar Floods During Tour

Speculation about a missed door seal remains unconfirmed.

Overview

  • A family’s guided Amphicar ride at Disney Springs began taking on water through the rear passenger-side door, the driver turned back to the dock, and guests were evacuated without injuries after water rose to knee level inside.
  • Passenger Gabi DiMattia posted a TikTok of the flooding that went viral and drew broader coverage, and a nearby diner commented that staff later emptied water from the car.
  • Walt Disney World has not explained the cause or announced any fixes, and the Amphicar experience still shows as operating in the official My Disney Experience app.
  • Social media commenters suggested the driver may have missed a secondary handle that seals Amphicar doors for water use, but no official finding has confirmed that claim.
  • Disney Springs offers 20-minute rides in vintage amphibious cars that seat three to four guests with a driver for $125 per car, with walk-up reservations at the Boatique shop by The Boathouse.
