A fight and a popping balloon sparked mass panic and a “stampede” at Walt Disney World as police responded to false rumors of an active shooter inside the Florida theme park Thursday night.
The terrifying moments occurred inside Magic Kingdom just around 10 p.m. as the park was closing for the night, according to reports.
The chaos unfolded just after the “Happy Ever After” fireworks show ended, Glenn Brady, who was visiting the park with his family, told Fox 35 Orlando.
“We were walking down Main Street, heading out of the park, when we — my family was in one of the stores, and then all of a sudden, people came rushing into the store,” the Kansas pastor told the outlet.
Brady called the scene chaotic as security instructed his family to take cover inside the store.

All the rides are mine now !
We need a common sense ban on semi-automatic assault balloons now.
As a castmember Disney is all about safety hence why Tron took years to build because Disney didn't want construction workers catching covid
Disney did the right thing to keep everyone safe.
I'm glad no place right wingers live feels safe and thats why they think their lives are in danger at all times because everyone else is armed, which poses a threat to everyone else who is or isn't armed. This is not the insanity I vote for and thats why I do not respect GOP logic. Criticize me for thinking how dumb living in fear is, the way the GOP does.
New York Post, your content has a special place in my heart

Sounds magical
Where was the panic ?????
I heard shots and saw smoke coming from the grassy knoll.
I was there it was a weapon on mainstreet
Regardless on whether this was a legitimate threat or not…I'm feeling it will now be plainly evident that more copycat like incidents will now follow. Simply because of the press of it and the nature of our society. 😢
Mickey caught Goofy in bed with Minnie fight broke out 😂
I got out of magic kingdom at 9:45pm last night! Crazy to think I just missed this
