But theme parks and Resort hotels aren’t the only offerings to rival Walt Disney World Resort. Universal also boasts its own shopping center, its own Disney Springs. We’re talking, of course, about Universal CityWalk.
Each Guest travels through Universal CityWalk before entering their theme park of choice, passing by a litany of restaurants and stores. However, one group of Guests dining in a Universal CityWalk restaurant were rudely interrupted by something nobody ever wants to hear while on vacation: a fire alarm.

At first, Guests were told they would need to be evacuated, which must have caused a lot of worry. However, while evacuating, the Guests were told that the fire alarm was simply a false alarm and that they could return to their tables:

In this video, we can see the aftermath of the situation. Guests look uncomfortable and a little frazzled, and while the alarm is no longer blaring, the lights are still flashing.
That being said, we’re incredibly relieved to hear it was just a false alarm and that nobody was hurt.
