Reedy Creek Fire Department responds to call at Space Mountain at Disney World; Space Mountain & PeopleMover shut down

Currently, the Space Mountain attraction and the PeopleMover attraction in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom have been shut down after a fire alarm was activated. The Reedy Creek Fire Department has responded to the call, according to a tweet from the Florida travel site, Gotta Go Orlando.

The tweet from Gotta Go Orlando was posted at 4:15 p.m. local time (though the tweet reads 3:15 p.m. because it was read in an earlier time zone). At around 3:45 p.m. local time this afternoon, the Reedy Creek Fire Department responded to an unknown incident at Space Mountain. There’s no official word from Walt Disney World at this time, but according to the Gotta Go Orlando tweet, Cast Members were evacuating Guests from the Space Mountain attraction and the PeopleMover attraction, and both attractions are closed at this time.
