Cause of ride closures at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Monday night revealed

‘The Big Money Show’ reacts to the high cost for a Disney vacation and the affordability for average American families.

Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is back to normal operations after a power outage caused numerous ride closures Monday evening, a spokesperson told FOX Business.

The cause of the power outage is not being disclosed, but at one point on Monday evening, 18 rides were shown as closed on the My Disney Experience app. That is nearly half the attractions offered at the resort’s most-visited park, according to USA TODAY.

The high temperature reached 84 degrees in the Orlando area on Monday, data from the National Weather Service shows.

A Disney spokesperson said many people were watching fireworks later in the day when the power outage occurred. Anyone who was on a ride when it went down was safely escorted off, and the park’s after-hours event went on as planned.

At 10 p.m., which was listed as the park’s closing time for those without an after-hours ticket, only three rides remained shut down: Space Mountain, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and “It’s a Small World,” local FOX 35 reported.

The special ticketed event allowed guests to be in the park until 1 a.m. Tuesday.

Hurts had 221 passing yards, two passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown in Philadelphia’s 40-22 rout of the Kansas City Chiefs. For that, he was named MVP of the game.

The tradition of Super Bowl MVPs going to Disney World started in 1987 after the New York Giants defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI. Phil Simms, who was the MVP of that game, was filmed in Disney’s “What’s Next?” commercial.

He is asked, “Phil Simms, you have just won the Super Bowl. What are you doing next?”

“I’m gonna go to Disney World,” he responded.

Hurts’ commercial featured his throw to Jahan Dotson in the first quarter, which was nearly a touchdown. Then, it showed the team’s tush push to get him into the end zone for the first score of the game. It also featured his bullseye pass to Devonta Smith for a touchdown.

“I’m going to Disney World!” Hurts said when asked what he was going to do next.

WHO’S NEXT? PREDICTING THE NEXT 5 SUPER BOWL MATCHUPS

Hurts silenced the critics with his performance on Sunday. Philadelphia got to the Super Bowl two years ago and lost to the Chiefs in a game that Hurts played well in. Last season, Philly started 10-1 but struggled down the stretch and were bounced from the playoffs early.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said the adversity Hurts faced in 2023 helped build momentum for his moment in 2024.

“Adversity has a tendency to bring you together,” he said. “I look back on last year and how last year ended, and I’m grateful. As crazy as it sounds, I’m grateful how last year ended because it shaped us to who we are today and where we’re standing today.”

Hurts admitted that the journey is important when it comes to holding up the trophies at the end of the season and teams and players will ultimately be judged by the results on the field.

• The afternoon resonates with the sun’s energy, while the evening aligns with the moon’s vibration. Use the time to set the intentions, repeat positive affirmations, and practice gratitude.

• Keep a journal to document your intentions and track your progress. Writing your desires and goals will help you clarify your thoughts, reflect on all the changes in your life as they happen, and help keep you aligned with your goals.

• Work with the energy of each planet, as they each have unique energies that can support specific areas of your life.
