....and vokda.....Love how she slipped that in there....
I just was gonna say that. :)
The Pinocchio Pass reminds me of when we took my younger sister on her first Disney trip when she was 4 and she fell in Hollywood Studios, bloodying up her knees pretty bad. She was WAILING.
A janitorial CM was the first to see us and another CM followed on his heels. The second CM looked at her knees and saw all she needed was a wash and a couple bandaids, so she left to fetch a bottle of water, napkins, and some bandaids while the janitorial CM stayed behind and was talking to my sister to distract her and calm her down.
She was still at the hiccuping, sniveling stage of hard crying when the other CM came back and started cleaning her up. The janitorial CM then asked her, "Would some ice cream make it feel better??"
She looked up at him and hiccuped pathetically, _"Uh-huh."_
He left while the other CM finished bandaging her up, and a couple minutes later he came back with a Mickey premium bar. He unwrapped it and held it out to her. "Here you go, princess."
We filed guest compliment forms for both of them.
Not just ride emergencies, other issues can pop up at disney. Just recently a toddler almost drowned in their hotel pool, but was luckily pulled out by a stranger. Keep track of your kids, people!
Just Because it’s Disney World doesn’t mean you children are safe from danger people!
@@emilykozak7249 One hundred percent, Disney does their best to prevent threats. Doesn't mean that the threats disappear.
Unfortunately a child had passed by drowning before in a budget resort. problem also is drowning doesn’t look like you see in a movies.
About five years ago, a young boy was with his family at the beach of Seven Seas Lagoon when an alligator came to shore and pulled him back into the water. They found his remains the next day.
@@markavolberding pretty sure we all remember that, it’s why you cant go in the water around the resorts anymore unless your in a boat
In 2018 my friend-family and I went to Disneyland for a big trip. One of the 5 of us had never been to Disney so we were all excited to explore and show her everything. Towards the end of one of the days we were there, we decided to get on Radiator Springs Racers. My husband and another friend had Fast passes for Guardians of the Galaxy about an hour after we got on the ride so we thought we had plenty of time to ride the Car's ride and then stroll over to Guardians for a Monsters After Dark ride. Insert ride stop here! It was going great, all 5 of us were in one car and we had another person with us in the 6th space riding with us. We got to the point where Hudson Hornet was giving us tips and a pep talk before the big race when the ride vehicle stopped. At first we thought it was just a short delay, but when Hudson stopped moving and was just staring off into space in front of us, we realized we were going to be there a while. The 6th person was nervous sitting with 5 "adults" (we're basically grown up kids) and they were on the ride alone otherwise. I don't know which one of us started it, but we started "praying" to the Hudson Hornet to please let us pass as we didn't want to miss out on Monsters After Dark. My husband, friends and I would say things like "All Hail the Hudson Hornet, Favored of the Fast Pass, Keeper of the Keys and Surveyor of the Stuck Ride Vehicles. Please permit us passage so we may get our spoop on". This was hilarious for us, but it also helped our 6th person too, because she couldn't contain her laughter and we had a great time goofing around. I was listening to the announcements too, and we were very aware that if any Cast Members had come by to evacuate us we'd listen to them. We started getting a little nervous when we were stuck there for about 45 mins and were dangerously close to missing our Fast Pass window but the ride started up again and we were off to the races! Found out when we were pulling into the station that the 6th rider with us was celebrating her birthday, so the 5 of us in truly embarrassing-family style started singing out Happy Birthday to her loudly as we pulled up. A couple cast members heard us and started clapping to celebrate too. Last thing we heard from her before departing was "This is the best end to my birthday ever. I'll never forget this. Thanks for making a stuck ride fun". This is probably one of my favorite memories of that trip, all because we got stuck on a ride and instead of panicking, worrying, or getting angry... we joked and laughed and had fun, and in doing so we made this girl's birthday too.
P.S. We got off the ride with about 5 mins until the Fast Pass window closed for Monsters After Dark. My husband and friend literally ran to Guardians and made it there just in time too. :)
iconic phrase: hey everybody it’s AJ from disney food blog
Totally
fake fan 😤😤😤 it’s “AJ FOR Disney Food Blog” 😖🖐😩
@@katelynjoymoore5008 nah! She has said both
@@RealPiggyPlus NOOOO this is my ultimate demise
Do u just start mimicking her when u hear the line? That’s how iconic it is
We had a fire in our room at OKW about 15 years ago, overheated motor in the Air Conditioning and it started to smoke. Only person in the room was teenage daughter. Kudos to the cast members who supported her till we got back. Maybe their example is what lead our daughter to become a cast member in resort front desk.
Cool :)
Interesting
That must've been scary, I'm glad the fire wasn't worse, and that your daughter is okay 🙏🏻💞♥️
“Someone stood up in Carousel of Progress?” No. She stood up in the front row on the right. Walked to the left back. Then proceeded to OPEN the door a half a foot, while in motion, before the ride halted to a stop.
after seeing this blog i think back to september 11, 2001. i was at disney at the time and stayed in disney's all star movies. the Disney crew members we encountered seemed quite calm. after we were brought back from, then still pleasure island, to the hotel, everything was done to entertain the hotel guests that day. I still find that special. two days later we would actually fly back from Orlando international airport to the Netherlands. the airport was closed to all flights so we couldn't go back. the days that we had to stay longer, we were allowed to use the hotel room. we were therefore allowed to use this four extra nights at the expense of Disney. that was very neatly arranged.
At least 70% of Disney emergencies revolve around kiddos!! Keep your babies safe guys!!
Revolve but yeah
Disney’s first responders are FAST!! Once my sister got an allergic reaction while sleeping and we called hotel emergency. They arrived in seconds!!! Have no words to thank them for the help that day ❤️
Oh wow that must be terrifying, I'm glad your sister is okay and that the first responders are that quick, may I ask what caused her to have an allergic reaction while sleeping? 🙏🏻💞♥️
As an Orange County Sheriff Deputy. We have specialized training just for Disney. And it's no joke. It's very tough and demanding. Im happy you talked about it
We got stuck in Haunted Mansion for about 15 min in the hallway with the eyes... We were there so long it actually started to creep is out 😂👀
That's happened to us too! It really is creepy! XD
We were stopped right next to Constance.. so creeped out!😂
the only time I got stuck on a ride was at Disneyland back in high school. I was in a doom buggy with my best friend when the ride stopped right next to a ghoul in the graveyard that pops up from behind a headstone. we must have only been there for maybe 15-20 minutes, but that was long enough for the magic to wear a bit thin, and *whoosh- clunk* of the the ghoul's mechanism to become hilarious to a couple of 17 year-olds.
We had to be evacuated off Pirates once. It was a fun experience actually. It probably helped that we were one of the first boats unloaded. CMs came and pulled the boats to the ledge so we could hop out, took us out a back way you don't normally get to see, and gave us a super fast pass we could use on anything. I wouldn't want it to happen every trip, but it was neat to have experienced once.
Something that never gets enough discussion or coverage is why they "break." In the absence of knowledge people concoct all sorts of horrific ideas of why the ride broke. In fact nothing really "breaks". The vast majority of these so-called breaks is do sensors on the track observing an irregular distance between to ride vehicles. One went too fast or one went too slow. On the average it takes 20 minutes to reset that. The ride is not broken, the cars are not about to fly off the track, and you are not in any danger. Sadly the first thing people do is panic and speculate about the most disastrous scenario they can imagine.
this happened on my 18th birthday before my family and i had dinner at california grill (sept 2019), my family and i were on the bus going to magic kingdom before our reservation, and this older man was sitting on his scooter and he passed out, his adult daughter was screaming to call 911, his toddler grandchildren were screaming and crying and it was so scary because everyone thought he had passed away, the driver pulled over to the side of the road and ambulances came and fire trucks and another bus for everyone to take us to MK, luckily, he was just dehydrated and went to the hospital, but it was definitely traumatic for those grandchildren especially , and everyone else got a paper fast pass which i never used so i could hang it in my room since it had my 18th birthday date on it but it is something i definitely will never forget
Oh wow that must've been terrifying for the family, I'm glad he is okay though, no one should have to go through that 🙏🏻💞♥️
It might sound horrible but it’s on my Disney Bucket List to be evacuated from a ride at some point
It's the complete Disney park experience!
Happened on my first visit! Hopefully it won't happen again.
One time my entire extended family went to Magic Kingdom together-maybe 20 people. Our very first ride was Peter Pan- we got stuck for maybe an hour- we actually had a great time! They brought us Mickey Ice creams, and later brought ladders to get us down. They then issued us each I think 2 fast passes valid for the entire party. We didn’t wait in line that entire trip!
I go to Disney at least once a year but only ever got fully evacuated once on splash mountain, lots of ride stopping kind of moments though, the most interesting ones have always been on haunted mansion, you get to appreciate so many little details!
Was there on 9/11. The fast evacuation of the Magic Kingdom was very good
Even though it was a tragedy, it was still super impressive that they were able to evacuate the entire park in 30 minutes.
Probably was pretty bizarre for everyone else, being that no one had smart phones, or long distance coverage. When did you find out the reason for evacuation?
I wonder how families and other groups reunited outside. I guess long distance fees, if they had coverage
@@UmmYeahOk We had watched the planes crash into the WTC before we left for the park. There were rumors but mostly what everyone heard, eg car bomb at the capital.
I had a cellphone and called my grandparents to let them know we were okay. I don’t remember the costs but it was under 10 minutes so it wasn’t very much. I later called a coworker. Though I live in Ohio, we worked with people at Aon and Marsh at the WTC to find out if she knew how they were doing.
I worked at Universal at the time and our team did an amazing job of clearing out the parks that day too. These theme parks have really good plans in place “just in case.”
As for emergencies AJ should consider a video on what occurs if a tornado suddenly appears out of nowhere. Hurricanes can be usually planned for days ahead of time. But the unexpected weather emergency video could be a very useful item.
We were at the Hilton Head resort when there was a tornado warning for 15 minutes down the road. We called down to the front desk to ask where we should shelter. Not only did they not know where to send us, they also did not know there was an active tornado on the ground in Bluffton!
It wasn’t a real emergency, but when my mom went with us in 2016, at age 85, she wasn’t able to step up out of the jungle ride. CMs aren’t allowed to help in that kind of situation not wanting to injure the person or themselves. So they had to call the EMT (?). While waiting fir them to arrive, they sent the boat around again. They were there when we got back to the dock. They put a harness on my mom that allowed several people help all at the same time, helped her out of the boat and all were safe and sound. They did a great job keeping everyone safe. They were very sweet to my elderly mother.
I got evacuated from the top of Expedition Everest. We had to walk down 17 flights of stairs and it was awesome.
Once my friend got stuck on it’s a small world for an hour! and she was stuck in between Germany and Mexico! How annoying would that be!
Oh my God that sounds like a torture method 😂
Glad my wife went on that one with kids instead of me.
At Space Mountain at Disneyland, when they do an emergency stop, all the trains stop at pre-determined stopping points. On one of the most memorable rides ever, as we crested the last lift, the lights started coming on and our train's stopping point was near the end of the ride. So, we rode the entire ride with the lights on. It was really cool to see it "behind the scenes". Then, a CM came and manually de-braked the train and pushed us until gravity brought us back around to the load platform. FP didn't exist when this happened in 1988, so all we got was an apology, a magical memory and a story to tell in the comments on a YT video. Good times.
Once I was stuck on seven drawfs mine train for 1h 20m it was fine we listion to the cast members and we got a fast pass for later or other things in the park and a 100 dollar Disney gift card we gave to our kids for being so good on the ride while we waited
Wow I think they should have given you a little more for the long time you spent sitting there
Thank you for this video. It is great to see a video for what to do when the unexpected happens. It is good to be prepared. I have been " stuck" on a Doom Buggy and on People Mover. No problem, moved after a few minutes. I actually would love to be "stuck" on the People Mover for extended time. Can not say the same about Sky Liner. However, I work in transportation and the key is to remain calm.
A couple years ago when I was at DCA people got stuck on the Incredicoaster in the rain for about an hour. Heard they got 3 fastpasses and a voucher for a free sweatshirt. I'm always excited when I'm on a ride that breaks down - you get to see things you don't usually see.
FYI for guests with mobility issues Reedy Creek has ways of getting you down stairs vis a seat with wheels. We got stuck on Frozen and I was with my mom who's on oxygen and can't walk and was in an ecv and my best friend who's got mobility issues and they came out and helped and one at a time helped them get back to the station we just had to wait for the rest of the guests to get off first
Thank you!! That is a relief to know.
I tripped getting out of a ride and shredded my palms on the concrete. Had to go to first aid to get it cleaned and disinfected causing me to miss my splash mountain fast pass. They compensated me with two 5 person anytime fast passes. Teased the 9 year old in our group later that it was bandaged up because of alligators in the Jungle cruise ride, but she just rolled her eyes.
"aaaaand Vodka" I love it
Got stuck over London on the Peter Pan ride for an hour and a half. Had to get off by a very tall ladder but I did get to see the model up close. The cars moving affect is two pieces of string with neon paint that go around and around on pulleys to give the illusions of headlights.
We had to evacuate Spaceship Earth about 15 years ago... walking down alongside all of the tableaux. We of course took quick photos of our kids sitting among the Renaissance scholars. I wish I could have thanked whoever caused the problem.
Once while staying at the boardwalk, as we were returning from
Blizzard beach due to an oncoming storm, we were not allowed to go further than the lobby due to a hostage situation in our wing of the hotel. So there we sat in our wet clothing in the freezing cold lobby full of air conditioning during a storm for two hours. They offered us ONE extra towel per person, they had large bowls of snacks like goldfish and water. I got a cold from that unfortunate event. Everyone came out fine from the situation but it was just a pain.
Many years ago, when visiting with our disabled son (Cerebral Palsy - cannot stand or sit unaided etc), Test Track broke down - they had to get the fire brigade out and put him on a stretcher and take him out!! Fun
In January of 2018 my brother and I were on the Na’vi River Journey ride and it broke down just before we got around the corner to get off the ride at the unloading area. We sat there for about 45min - an hour and we were able to be moved up to an area at the corner to have a cast member take our hand and get us off the ride. I don’t remember being offered anything. Just an apology. Luckily we didn’t miss any reservations or anything, just time. But it was definitely annoying. The cast member was super sweet and patient with everyone and made sure the directions were clear and everyone was safe getting off of the ride. Disney does a good job of that.
That same trip we were on the haunted mansion ride where the ghosts are singing and the ride stopped and everything but the music was playing. The room went pretty dark. That was actually pretty freaky. We waited maybe 5-10 minutes and then it happened again but just for a few minutes and then the ride went on as it should. I have been to Disney twice as an adult and I haven’t experienced too many inconveniences. Cast members really try to go above and beyond to make sure everyone is safe and treated well. Especially if you have a pin on saying what you are celebrating, they will often notice it and make you feel super special!
I appreciate your videos very much, thank you for all of the hard work you and your team do to get us this info and nice footage! I have been watching a lot more of your videos as my family and I plan to go January of 2022. 😄
Pirates of the Caribbean in Paris broke down while we were on it. We were hanging out with Jack before firemen helped us off the boats. It was a fantastic experience and seeing back stage only added to the magic!
Aaahhh yes getting stuck on Pirates of the Caribbean with a 5 yr old in the dark in front I think it’s called dead man’s cove for 30 minutes with the creepy music going on lol fun times. We were given 3 fast passes so we rode big thunder 3 times that day, she loved that!
im going to magic kingdom in a few weeks!
I haven't been evacuated for a ride but from the park in 1999 due to Hurricane Floyd. Disney had procedures for that emergency as well but the cast members were also incredible at figuring things out as they went along. They worked well past quitting time to make sure we all had food and everything we needed. They're looking out for us for than you may know!
Flight of Passage once had a fire alarm incident. There's a video of it on RUclips after guests got freed from the ride vehicles and were told to evacuate fire the fire exits but the came upon other guests who had no clue there's a fire alarm and they kept telling them to evacuate. Later in the video you hear the fire alarm.
WAIT WAIT WAIT WHAT WAS THE "Probably not funny joke" SHE HAD!? 😢 Lmao
probably the vodka suggestion
We recently stayed at the Polynesian. Our building was NOT under construction. 5 a.m. fire alarms going off; I'm half asleep. A voice comes over the loud speaker about evacuating. It was real. Me, and several other guests all outside in our PJ's. My Mom can hardly walk, so thank goodness we were only on the second floor for me to safely get her evacuated. I then kept saying what if we were at Bay Lake Tower, Oh, boyyyy!!! That would have been tough. They said it was due to construction, but we had no construction at our building so we weren't too happy that day.
Transportation emergencies & evacuations can be a royal pain in the rump at times. On a trip via a Disney bus from the Wilderness Lodge to Disney's Hollywood Studios, I ended up on the micro-Tower of Terror. We arrived at DHS and because I was using an ECV, I and another woman (not part of my party) who was in a wheelchair were the last 2 to get off. I got my ECV onto the rear door platform and down it starts going. Then it gets stuck (probably about 4-5 feet off the ground, possibly a bit more, it's been several years). The bus driver reverses the mechanism and it goes up, part way, but not back to the bus floor's level. The driver then tries down again and it gets stuck around the same height. Back and forth (or should I say up & down) I go for a good 30 minutes, first with the bus driver doing it, then several other transportation cast members trying it. They break out the hand crank and try that and after several attempts, it still won't go down all the way but they ultimately crank it back up to the bus floor level. All well and good so that I can at least walk off the bus, but, my ECV is still in the air. They ended up having to have me walk off the bus with my cane... and then several CMs together lift my ECV off the platform (after they lowered it as far as it would go) and put it on the sidewalk. All in all, I probably lost close to an hour doing the Mini-TOT. They were very nice, and I truly did not get upset at them, things break, what can you do? They did give us a Beauty and the Beast VIP Seating voucher which was fine with me, I wasn't looking for compensation, though I admit, I was definitely glad to get off the "free ride" of the day!
We had a 4am fire alarm at Pop Century in 2019. It was annoying but theses things happen. We got an apology letter and two Mackey rice crispies the next day :)
Hahah I was just in Disney’s wilderness lodge, and we all had to evacuate for the fire alarm.
These videos are helping me organise my trip to walt disney world
Many years ago we were evacuated on BTM in Disneyland in the rain at night - I had 3 small kids in tow, they got us out on the steep hill & we walked a long way on very slippery stone steps. Once we got out the kids just wanted to do it all again! The other amazing event was in Disneyland as well, the fireworks were just about to start & we’d parked ourselves on a bench for several hours - best fireworks, perfect spot, and then there was a big earthquake. The top of the Astro Orbiter swayed quite a bit. Omg people were very polite but it took forever to get out of there. What a scene, cms waving lights & shouting - pretty sure they hadn’t exactly trained for that one.
Pinocchio pass? It sounds like a pass for when you are lying... hahaha
Just thought about how funny it would be if they played the wrong announcement on the wrong ride. Like you’re on Carousel of Progress and it stops and the announcement says that ghosts have caused it to stop!! It would be so funny!!!!
We got evac'd from Haunted Mansion in 2015. We were stuck by the guy trying to get out of the coffin. We were escorted back thru all the scenes we had gone thru to get to the loading area. As we left the HM, we were given "Super Fast Passes" good for any Magic Kingdom ride which were good for a week. I landed up giving them away on our last night at the World as I walked back to Bay Lake Twr from MK.
I got evacuated from the haunted mansion once. It was interesting to walk through the rest of the rides with all the lights on. Heard a little kid start crying and yell "none of this is real! This isn't scary anymore! "
My Family and I got stuck and had to be evacuated from the People Mover in Magic Kingdom once. It was during Micky's Very Merry Christmas Party and we missed the first part of the fireworks. We got a 3 pack of Fast passes for our trouble, because it was a special event and it was dark and our 7 year old was a little freaked out. Personally I thought it was pretty cool to see all the secret doors and stairways we got to see to get off the ride.
Vodka-oh how I love AJ’s sense of humor!
In case of emergency my instinct kicks in. Was trained in EMT and Red Cross, Boy Scouts training
Ok, I have this really funny story, so basically, me and my mum had just gone on what I think is the haunted house ride? It has the dead wife and stuff etc, and it stopped during the bit where it talks about the haunted wife and me and my mum were super freaked out. After that happened and we carried on with the ride, we went over to the little mermaid ride and guess what? It stopped there too! Such a funny coincidence
Plot twist- Ariel is the bride.
My friend and I were evacuated off of splash mountain once. The cast member guided us out, but stopped at little lock box, to which they pulled fast passes out of. However they needed a pen to date the passes, I was the only one who had a pen on me in my purse, so I lent it to them, and waited till everyone got their fast passes, because of this we ended up getting extra fast passes.
I've never been evacuated from a ride, but during my college program when I worked in Tomorrowland, they gave us a party after park hours that included getting to ride Space Mountain with the lights on! It was really cool and a totally different experience.
we got stuck in Test track at epcot dec 2020.. 7:30 pm.. they gave us a fast pass for any ride but frozen ... we used it for soaring ... that was empty and the parking was closing at 8pm LOL
I love getting evacuated from a ride!!! I got stuck on Everest at the top by where the track ends and you go backwards. It was such an awesome memory and a great view.
once saw Captain Jack in the outdoor show accidentally knock down a lady. He offered to help her up but she refused and demanded an EMT. We all thought she was just being dramatic and hoping to get something out of a small incident.
I keep hoping for a ride evacuation! (Assuming it is a ride malfunction rather than something serious)
I just had a nightmare about a Rollercoaster accident last night
one time i got to go behind the scenes and big thunder (it broke down) and it was one of the coolest experiences ive ever had
I was in Disney world in October 2016 and on our magic kingdom / not to scary Halloween party day is when hurricane matthew hit . The park closed at 5 pm and alllllll the cast members were being very diligent in getting all the pumpkins off the light poles and moving things so that nothing would fly off and hit anyone . AND we did receive a full refund for the not so scary Halloween party since it didn’t happen that night due to the storm making the park close early . All in all cast members were doing terrific at making sure everyone felt safe and making sure everyone left the park in time to get to their resort safely before winds and rain got too intense .
Last time I went to Disneyland Paris I got stuck on the Phantom Manor elevator, got to see some backstage corridors which was really cool
Whoaaa
When I was young, my mom tried to convince me I could handle riding Haunted Mansion, even though I told her I wasn't ready. We still went on. Stretch room was kind of off-putting to me but we get in our buggy. We round the first corner and are in the room the ghost plays the piano and we just stop. I ask my mom if this is normal and she said it wasn't. We sat in the ride, motionless, for about half an hour before crew members started coming around and letting us out. To do this, they also had to turn the lights on. Funny how I wasn't scared anymore when that happened! We ended up going out via the entrance. Mom felt so bad for me and took it as a sign she should've just listened to me and I got ice cream as a treat.
In November 2011, I stayed at the Grand Californian, and the fire alarm went off at 3am due to a small kitchen fire. We were evacuated to the parking lot, everyone looked exhausted and disheveled, including John Stamos who also happened to be a guest at the resort that day!
Listen to the cast members
“... and vodka” HAH
This is DFBGuide at its best! Informative and entertaining! Thanks, AJ and crew!
Here is my experience which took place at Disneyland, I finished riding it’s a small world holiday, and I wanted to go again, so I waiting in line and such, so I got on again, but when I entered the first tunnel mostly everything shut off, all the lights and animatronics turned off, but the song was playing in random areas, they had to turn on the lights which revealed lots of doll shadows and there was way less color than usual, there were some silhouettes and a row of work lights on the wall pretty much illuminated most things until they started going behind the decorations, there was some twinkling and the Italy bells were still ringing, there was also some violins if I remember correctly, and the tunnels were just playing background music like normal, it was weird, we got stuck in Italy so cast members pulled our boats to the nearest exit which was in Canada, we went through a passage in the wall, which was behind some doors, it lead to a stairway and we went through a couple areas and went into the main park. They said they lost power everywhere, this was on December 27th 2017
Space mountain stopped when I rode it in 2008. We didn't need to evacuate but they turned on all the lights. I think someone had a medical emergency or something. I only been to disney that once so that was weird a little scary too.
When it comes to safety and following the rules, I told my kids to think about these as entertaining and fun pieces of heavy equipment, on the order of big construction equipment but with safe and fun places to sit. If you follow the rules and listen to instructions, you have just about no chance of being hurt. Keep your manos, brazos, pies, y piernas inside the ride and the only thing you really have to worry about is having fun.
Visiting Disneyland Paris (my one "once in a lifetime Disney trip") we were riding their version of Big Thunder Mountain (I believe they call it "le Montagne de Sacre Bleu" but my French is awful) I was really excited because it goes underneath the equivalent of Rivers of America and comes out on what would be Tom Sawyer Island, then comes back under the water etc. etc. Anyway, just as we're heading up from under the outbound underwater portion, the ride stops. About half a minute later, the announcements start. Then cast members came along and - their words - evacuated us off of the ride.
Sad I didn't get to finish the ride, sadder still for all the people waiting in line to ride, saddest yet for my already aching feet because we walked for a long, long way. They were kind enough to say "Quel dommage, nous sommes désolés" and then whisked us off to go to another part of the park. All things considered, that was the low part of the visit, so not bad at all. The high point was giggling at the portrayal of the American Southwest overall. If I hit the lottery jackpot, I'm going to all 9 Disneys.
My daughter and I can’t wait until the day we get the in ride exit!!!!! Just think it would be such a unique and exciting thing to happen! Every time a ride pauses we both get so excited. But then get so disappointed when the ride restarts. I know, we are weird
I still like the ride but finding out that parts of Space Mountain is ground level was shocking. The lights weren't on but we were stopped and a cast member walked by.
I went to college at Ringling in Sarasota and once a year they'd host a trip to Disney since it was like a two hour bus ride away. Freshman year we went to Magic Kingdom, and all of my friends and I got stuck on Pirates of the Caribbean long enough that the house lights came on. It was definitely strange!
I didn't notice you say in the video that treats were on the reimbursement for your troubles list but when we evacuated from POC once, we all got Mickey Bars!!!
I had to be evacuated from the monorail last year. They had to get the crane/pusher to move it. Thankfully it was already at the station.
Just out of curiosity I'm not handicapped myself how do they evacuate rides like water rides or the higher up rides if one is say in a wheelchair or otherwise has issues walking?
I've seen people who are wheelchair bound be evacuated off of Expedition Everest from very high up. Disney had these chairs that easily go down stairs and it was a safe effective way to move people with mobility issues. I cant speak to how to get people off the water rides tho.
Only major evacuation that I've ever had to deal with was when Expedition Everest broke down with us in the room before the big drop. We got to go down thru the emergency stairs to the outside. Got FastPass for later that day.
You're always funny when you make fun of yourself, so saying you're not funny got me to laugh for sure.
We went to Disney World over spring break and we were super excited and wanted to do Star Wars rise of the resistance so we booked three days in Hollywood studios, the first day we didn’t get in, the second day we did and we did the ride and the two ladies behind us said the audio didn’t work but we had no clue because we’ve never done the ride before so the cast members gave us fast passes to come back anytime later that day so we went to go get some snacks and we came back and the ride was still closed because they were fixing things but a few minutes later it was back up and we did it again with the audio and the backstory and it was a lot more fun, but we still had one more day in Hollywood studios and we got into rise of the resistance again and the third time we realized we had still missed apart the first two times at the end you’re supposed to see Kylo Ren and swinging blades but the first two times that wasn’t there.
We visited WDW right before the jungle cruise sank. I know my kids would’ve freaked out if they had of been on that ride at the time. Hopefully they got some pixie dust afterwards.
ROR broke down on us, Oh the alarm noise, the got us off quick and got a fast pass.
What’s ROR
Evacuations are typically not referred to as such, instead being called an "in-show exit".
My first time riding the Haunted Mansion, I was alone, we'd just entered a section where the buggies start to rotate anddd the ride stopped. Mine was facing into the darkness, the creepy noises/music was still playing and I'm not ashamed to admit that even as a 22 year old, I was getting twitchy. Thankfully it was only about 5 minutes before it started again, but it felt like an eternity. Luckily I now know HM isn't scary at all and ride it multiple times whenever I go! (And yes, it will stop during at least one of those rides.)
Do you know when Disney usually updates park times? Currently parks are open a little later in the day but starting in May the park times start to close earlier in the day based on the calendar on the website.
i was wondering the same thing. i’m going in may!
@@frankie8898 we are also going in may and staying on the skyliner and wanted to be able to plan for if Epcot was going to be open later in the evening
I talked to a cast member recently about this and he said the posted times at EPCOT aren’t likely to change. I hope he was wrong, though. Later evening hours would be awesome.
I once got stripes of burned skin after riding in the canoes in cotton shorts. It was more an annoyance, but made sitting a little uncomfortable for a couple days. I stopped by the town hall to just let someone know. They had me fill out a complaint form, but that’s it. I was a bit disappointed for the lack of empathy, but I guess people are so sue-happy in the US, that they were trained not to respond with overt sympathy. I just didn’t want it to happen to someone else.
Can you do please do anything with Disneyland
One time, I went on Space Mountain and the inner lights were on. I thought it was awesome and gave the ride i was very familiar with a different feel to it.
Going to Disney on Tuesday!!!
Enjoy!!
Thank you!!!
AJ is awesome when Disney has an announcement she’s the first one to make a video about it.
Stay calm and don’t panic
Once I got sick all the way at the top of expedition Everest and we were stuck for 30 minutes and got excavated
Hearing the number of Times some of these rides have had evacuations is astonishing
Disneyworld had a fire today. How ironic this video popped up on my feed 😂
I’ve been stuck on Small World and Haunted Mansion. No big deal, though, and when Haunted Mansion needed reset, they just left us all in our seats and we went around again.
One time the fire alarm went off at the contemporary when i was there (there was no fire)
I stayed to the end for the joke.... there was no joke... ☹️
I love disney!
