First responders mobilized to Disney Springs on Monday afternoon following reports of a fire within the Walt Disney World Resort shopping and entertainment destination. The incident occurred on December 22, 2025, during active business hours when the outdoor complex hosts substantial guest traffic.
Afternoon Emergency Response
Emergency services received notification about a fire situation at Disney Springs shortly after 2:15 p.m. on Monday, December 22. The 911 call prompted immediate deployment of first responders to the shopping, dining, and entertainment venue located on Walt Disney World Resort property.
X (formerly Twitter) account @WDWActiveCrime, which tracks and shares law enforcement scanner communications throughout the Central Florida Disney property, broke news of the emergency response:

The specific location within Disney Springs where the fire originated has not been confirmed through official channels. Emergency dispatch systems at Walt Disney World Resort typically route calls to centralized addresses rather than pinpointing exact incident locations, making precise geographic determination difficult from scanner reports alone.
The Google Maps location marker appearing in scanner monitoring posts is likely not accurate, as it may not correspond to the actual site where emergency personnel responded.
Limited Public Information Available
Local authorities have not released official reports documenting the fire incident at Disney Springs that occurred on Monday afternoon. The absence of public documentation could indicate several possible scenarios regarding the severity and impact of the fire.
Small-scale fires, such as kitchen incidents that emergency responders can quickly contain, often don’t generate publicly available reports, particularly when no injuries occur, and property damage remains minimal. If Monday’s fire falls into this category, detailed public information may never materialize through official law enforcement channels.
Theme Park Operations Unaffected
Walt Disney World Resort’s four major theme parks continue operating without disruption from the Disney Springs fire response. Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park are maintaining their regular schedules and welcoming guests.
No evacuation orders or operational changes have been implemented at any theme park location in response to the incident at Disney Springs. Guests with theme park plans for Monday should proceed with their itineraries as scheduled.
Disney Springs Remains Operational
The My Disney Experience app shows all Disney Springs shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues maintaining normal operations despite the fire report. No widespread closures or evacuations have been implemented across the shopping and dining complex.
However, guests currently visiting or planning to visit Disney Springs should exercise awareness and caution. Any areas where first responders have established a working perimeter should be avoided to allow emergency personnel unobstructed access and workspace.
Visitors who detect smoke, observe flames, or notice other fire indicators should immediately notify the nearest Disney cast member or venue staff member. Prompt reporting enables quick response and helps protect guest safety throughout the complex.
