Heads up if you’re heading to Disney World right now, there might be a fire-related incident.

We were able to spot this fire from The BoardWalk, but it looked like it was behind the France Pavilion.

At this time, it’s not clear how this fire started, but Disney seems to have quickly put it under control based on the smoke pattern.
According to users on social media, most of the France Pavilion was evacuated, including restaurants and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
From an X post from WSVN 7 News, it looks like the fire is in a backstage area to the left of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
