The Google Maps screenshot attached to the post pinpointed the emergency response location at the main entrance to EPCOT, near Spaceship Earth in the World Celebration neighborhood. However, this address is often used to log law enforcement responses at EPCOT. It follows the standard practice of logging calls at generic theme park and hotel locations rather than at the exact coordinates where the calls originated.
Neither Walt Disney World Resort nor the Orange County Sheriff's Office has issued a statement on the vehicle collision with injuries on Wednesday afternoon. It's unclear whether those involved were Disney cast members, theme park guests, or unrelated individuals traveling through the property.
While Disney is unlikely to comment publicly on the accident, the Orange County Sheriff's Office may release more information if someone involved in the incident is charged criminally. Details on those injured and the severity of those injuries are unlikely to emerge unless a fatality occurs.
What to Know
Operations at EPCOT appear to be continuing normally following the accident on September 23. However, guests may encounter traffic disruptions and reroutes following the collision reported in the late afternoon. Follow all instructions from authorities and drive slowly through any affected areas.
