Walt Disney World experienced a brief disruption during the 9 p.m. parade last night when a member of the park’s Alpha Unit, the security and medical response team, was seen rushing through the crowd. A guest who witnessed the event shared their experience, saying, “Alpha Unit ran past us in the crowd halfway through tonight’s 9pm parade. Yikes.” The situation escalated the evening for several guests, who were not expecting such an intervention to happen.

Medical Incident at the Emporium

The commotion was soon explained when it was revealed that the Alpha Unit’s sudden presence was due to a medical incident at the Emporium, a popular shopping area in the park. One guest, offering an update via social media, assured others: “Medical situation at the Emporium. They transported the guest, but they’re ok.” This quick response from Disney’s medical team reassured other park-goers, as it became clear that the situation had been swiftly managed.
