Magic Kingdom Bear Relocated as Theme Park Operations Returning to Normal
Magic Kingdom has nearly returned to full operation following an unusual morning when a bear decided to make a tree in Frontierland its temporary residence.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission confirmed that a bear had chosen to perch in a tree near Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Frontierland. While Disney refrained from offering an official statement on the situation, they took swift action to address it, reopening most of the affected areas at 12:30 p.m. As of now, the Walt Disney World Railroad and Tom Sawyer Island remain temporarily closed.
Disney’s proactive response stemmed from Cast Members spotting the bear before the park’s official opening to guests this morning. This early detection allowed for the affected areas to remain closed and free from visitors when the rest of the park welcomed guests at 9 a.m.
The list of temporarily closed attractions included Big Thunder Mountain, Hall of Presidents, Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Pirates of the Caribbean, Swiss Family Tree House, Under the Sea – Journey of The Little Mermaid, Walt Disney World Railroad, and Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room.
Bears, as noted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, can be found throughout Florida, with a preference for diverse habitats like flatwoods, swamps, scrub oak ridges, bayheads, and hammocks. Their search for food, water, and suitable shelter often leads them to roam across various areas.
Teams from the FFWC collaborated with Disney to safely relocate the bear from the park, ensuring the safety and comfort of both the bear and Magic Kingdom guests.

Hocus Pocus Returns to Theaters for a Limited Time
Hocus Pocus is making a grand return to the big screen in celebration of its 30th Anniversary. In the United States, select AMC theaters will be screening the beloved film on October 6th, giving fans a chance to relive the magic. Meanwhile, across the pond in the United Kingdom, Cineworld, Showcase, and Vue cinemas will also be treating audiences to special showings on various dates.
With the recent release of Hocus Pocus 2 on streaming platforms, the enchantment of the Sanderson Sisters has been rekindled in the hearts of movie enthusiasts. As the spooky season approaches, there’s a genuine opportunity for the original movie to enjoy some modest box office success. Amidst the plethora of Halloween-themed offerings at theaters, this presents a rare opportunity for families to enjoy a non-animated, family-friendly film during the season of thrills and chills.
On X Twitter, the official movie account shared, “For 30 years the Sanderson Sisters have been putting a spell on you, see them back on the big screen for a limited time as we celebrate Hocus Pocus’ 30th Anniversary! The black flame candle ignites once again on October 6th.”
For 30 years the Sanderson Sisters have been putting a spell on you, see them back on the big screen for a limited time as we celebrate Hocus Pocus’ 30th Anniversary! The black flame candle ignites once again on October 6th.
Disney has more exciting anniversary festivities lined up for Hocus Pocus. On October 7th, the historic Hawthorne Hotel in Salem will be transformed into a Sanderson Sisters-themed extravaganza. Hosted by the official Disney fan club, this Halloween costume party promises to do justice to mischievous characters like Master Devil and Medusa Lady (portrayed by Garry and Penny Marshall in the original film).
Attendees who secure their tickets can anticipate live musical performances, delightful culinary offerings, devilishly creative beverages, and an array of other delightful surprises. What makes this Hocus Pocus party truly magical is the presence of the leading ladies themselves, who will be in attendance, adding a bewitching aura to the proceedings.
Before the night falls under the spell of fans and revelry, event-goers can look forward to a guided walking tour of Salem. During this excursion, participants will have the chance to explore the city’s historic landmarks and visit locations featured in the filming of Hocus Pocus. Disney describes this part of the celebration as follows.
“Thirty years ago, the Black Flame Candle was ignited by an unsuspecting group of kids, inadvertently unleashing Halloween havoc and hilarity on the storied city of Salem, Massachusetts. Three sinister sisters with talents of unfathomable magic (and questionable teamwork skills) mounted brooms, mops, and vacuums in a dastardly plot to retain eternal youth. Their plans may have been foiled, but as any great witch knows, the strongest magic always has a special way of coming back…”
All indications suggest the possibility of a Hocus Pocus 3, but as of now, there has been no official confirmation. Doug Jones, who portrayed Billy Butcherson, talked about reuniting with the Sanderson Sisters. In an interview with Collider, the actor expressed his excitement about reuniting with the iconic trio of witches.
Jones said, “When that call came, I was excited to get to do all of that again. I got to reunite with Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, which was so dreamy… We’re all 30 years older and have matured and come through a lot of life in that time, so there was a lot to chat about on set. It was really quite lovely.”
Thirty years later Hocus Pocus holds a special place in the hearts of viewers, and its resurgence on the big screen promises to reignite the love and nostalgia we all feel for the Sanderson Sisters and their mischievous adventures. The fact that it’s a rare non-animated family film amid the spooky season offerings makes it all the more exciting for moviegoers of all ages. So, mark your calendars, secure your tickets, and prepare to be spellbound once more by this iconic tale of witchcraft, humor, and Halloween magic.
This past weekend, Disney Addicts gathered at the Magic Kingdom for a truly magical experience, as two beloved characters made their highly-anticipated debuts.
Bruno, the endearing character from Disney’s “Encanto,” stepped onto the grand stage of the Magic Kingdom for the very first time, creating a wave of excitement among fans of the hit animated film. With his unique charm and heartwarming presence, Bruno quickly became the highlight of the show.
But Bruno wasn’t the only new face to grace the enchanting cavalcade this weekend. Mirabel, the fearless protagonist of “Encanto,” also made her debut, offering fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and greet with the spirited character. Her presence added an extra layer of enchantment to the event, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the magic of “Encanto” like never before.
As Bruno joined the cavalcade alongside classic Disney characters, the energy and excitement in the Magic Kingdom was awesome! The crowd cheered and applauded as they passed by, capturing the hearts of young and old alike. It was a truly enchanting moment, bringing the magic of Disney’s latest animated masterpiece to life in a way that only the Magic Kingdom can deliver.
For fans of “Encanto,” this weekend’s debut of Bruno and Mirabel in the Adventure Friend Cavalcade was a dream come true. It showcased Disney’s commitment to creating memorable experiences and bringing beloved characters to life, ensuring that the magic of the movies continues to enchant audiences in the happiest place on earth.
Encanto Photo Op Debuts at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
A new Encanto photo op has appeared outside the entrance of Disney’s Animal Kingdom! The photo op arrived just in time to celebrate Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month.
The colorful step-in photo frame features Antonio Madrigal with a variety of animals. Antonio has the gift of being able to communicate with and summon animals so it makes sense he is surrounded by animals. A capybara, jaguar, and parrot are among many other vividly-colored animals.
You can also see “Casita”, the Madrigal’s magical home, in the top left corner of the frame. The back layer of the frame looks like a quilt and features traditional Colombian patterns.
Encanto is receiving more and more representation at the parks. We hope to see a lot more since Disney recently hinted at an Encanto-themed area could be coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in the future.
