Reports are coming in there is an evacuation going on at All Star Movies Resort in Walt Disney World. Apparently the Police have evacuated the lobby area according to Twitter meanwhile some guests are being directed to turn around and not enter the facility at all.
All buses and services are shut down and there are guests stranded in their room presently.
Update 7:54pm EST:
Guest have been given the all clear at 7:08 pm and allowed to enter the resort and exit their rooms.
Osceola County Sheriff’s Office along with Disney’s Security took the lead in the investigation and reported that it was a false alarm.
All of the reports on twitter have been from everything from a gas leak, fire alarm/drill to a bomb threat. If it was a gas leak would local law enforcement been called in?
With the terrorist attack in France everyone is on heightened alert. Not matter what I reason I am glad this was handled promptly and without incident.
Update 11/18.2015:
It was reported that it was a bomb scare and it was limited to the lobby. The police and bomb sniffing dogs were deployed but nothing was found.

From the sounds of it, it was handled well. Shame on those spreading rumors, although it must be hard when you’re waiting. Also, shame on the person who called in the threat. Hopefully they are caught.
