A fight at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Thursday triggered chaos … after panicked patrons called cops to report what they believed was a shooting.
The video shows the aftermath …. debris littered everywhere, with chairs knocked over and toys and merch scattered — after a mass of terrified people piled into a shop after a loud popping noise went off in the park.

Watch the video … the crowd’s cleared from the store, but the wreckage they left behind is extensive. Security handled the situation — walking the crowd slowly out of the park to avoid a mass rush to exits.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Florida posted a statement to X … acknowledging reports of an active shooter, explaining a fight broke out in Magic Kingdom, saying a balloon popped … causing crowds to bolt.
No word yet on where the fight went down, or if anyone was hurt in the brawl … but they’re making it clear guns weren’t involved.

One park visitor — Glenn Brady from Kansas — says he was in a shop on Main Street browsing with his fam when people rushed in … and he laments Disney’s lack of communication to guests.
Walt Disney World released a statement around 11:30 PM Thursday — over an hour after the park closed — saying normal operations had resumed. The Magic Kingdom is open Friday, business as usual.
Seems everyone came away unscathed … a harrowing end to a magical day.
