Nearly half of Magic Kingdom's attractions shut down Monday night, reports say
There were some social media posts about the issue.
"My brother is at Disney World right now & everything just stopped," @MelissaElrod20 wrote in the post on X. "People are stuck in rides everywhere [and] all the lights inside the rides are on. He said it's pandemonium in the streets at the Magic Kingdom."
Hours before the park was set to close at 10 p.m. local time, the My Disney Experience app listed 18 out of the park's 40 attractions as "temporarily closed," reported local news outlet News 6. Guests use the My Disney Experience app to view the wait times of rides and the app also shows which rides are out of service.
"This is crazy," wrote a Reddit user in the Walt Disney World subreddit. "Several ride queues emptied out in front of me. [I] go to the next ride, and it's being emptied."

At 8 p.m. on Monday, only five rides were available to ride, according to News 6.
Attractions guests were able to ride included the following, according to the news outlet:
The Haunted Mansion in Liberty Square
Jungle Cruise in Adventureland
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in Tomorrow Land
Tron Lightcycle / Run in Tomorrowland
As of Tuesday morning, at 8:45 a.m. ET, some of the rides that were listed as "temporarily unavailable" on Monday have wait times and seem to be available on the My Disney Experience app. Rides without wait times listed on the rides will not open until 9 a.m. ET.
USA TODAY has reached out to Walt Disney World for comment.
What caused the rides to shut down?
Although there were claims online that the shutdown was due to a power outage, what actually caused the park's attractions to be shut down remains unclear.
Rides shut down during Disney After Hours event
While the rides shut down before the park closed, Magic Kingdom was scheduled to host a "Disney After Hours" ticketed event, according to Walt Disney World's website.
The event allows guests who purchased a separate ticket, priced from $175 to $185 plus tax, to stay from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., after the park closes for regular ticket or annual pass holders.
However, by 10 p.m., the time the event was set to start, only three rides were shut down, reported WOFL.
On the list were the following:
Space Mountain in Tomorrowland
Tiana's Bayou Adventure in Frontierland
"It's a Small World" in Fantasyland
It is unclear if the event was affected by the ride closures.
Super Bowl winners "fly to Disney World"
On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles, the winners of the big game that happened the night before, also made the traditional visit to the Magic Kingdom.
In a video posted to Walt Disney World's Instagram, Jalen Hurts, the Eagle's quarterback, can be seen on a parade float with Mickey and Minnie Mouse driving down Main Street USA.
It is not known if the Philadelphia Eagles were affected by the ride shutdown.
Are rides still down?
As of Tuesday, at 8:45 a.m. ET, the only rides that were listed on the theme park app as unavailable were previously closed for refurbishment before Monday night's shutdown.
The rides "closed for refurbishment" are:
Astro Orbitor in Tomorrowland
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Frontierland
The Hall of Presidents in Liberty Square

Madden NFL ratings raise eyebrows and a few questions for two Eagles offensive stars
Madden NFL ratings raise eyebrows and a few questions for two Eagles offensive stars It's hard to say if there have ever been stories about the hate mail Chad Johnson receives when Madden ratings are released. Did you see what happened there? No questions were asked about whether he gets hate mail because it's a foregone conclusion. There's no way he doesn't. Philadelphia Eagles fans everywhere have to be scratching their heads today. For the uniformed, the man previously known as 'Ochocinco' is a Madden NFL ratings adjustor, but before we advance further, something has been on our minds for a long time. Are we the only ones who know that 'ochocinco' isn't the translation for the number 85 in Spanish? A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts receive a lower-than-expected Madden NFL rating If you think Madden NFL ratings are unimportant, ask the guys who believe their speed ratings are off. Ask the NFL stars who play the game about their overall score. We can promise you most of them know what theirs is. If you missed the announcement, ratings are being revealed as we speak. Two Eagles, Lane Johnson and Saquon Barkley, are in the 99 club, but it didn't take long for the vibe to shift. Offensive grades were also released. Jalen Hurts was given an 86 overall grade. A.J. Brown was given a mark of 93. Okay, so let's backtrack. Maybe this isn't earth-shattering to every NFL star. Something tells us Hurts won't be bothered by this. Something else tells us Hurts doesn't even know about this. An 86 overall grade still seems insulting. So does tying him with Justin Herbert, and we're going to need an explanation of the Eagles quarterback landing behind Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff. The 93 rating seems like a generous grade for A.J. Brown. Then, you remember he's better than at least three of the guys who are graded ahead of him. While we realize this is subjective, what gives? We also remind you that Chad Johnson played wide receiver. He should know better. We'll see if corrections are made when the game is released and there are updates.
