Only at Disney World is getting evacuated off a ride exciting! It seems that Disney just has a way of making the mundane magical, huh?

Many guests treat the experience of a ride evacuation as a chance to take a one-of-a-kind backstage tour — witnessing all the ins and outs of their favorite ride in a way they’ve never seen them before! Most of these evacuations aren’t serious and can be caused by something as minor as a spill taking a while to be cleaned up or show elements like spotlights not working.

One of our readers was recently evacuated off Journey into Imagination with Figment! Thanks to DFB reader Beth M. for sending us these photos!

So, what is it like to get evacuated from Journey Into Imagination? Unlike Figment, we won’t make you use your imagination alone. Things look a little less dream-like with the work lights on!

This part made us wonder if this was Journey Into Imagination or the spookiest carnival ever….

We learned the secret behind Figment’s footprints! They’re little light-up signs all along the tunnel.

Things definitely looked different without the black lights…
