When it comes to your Disney World vacation, it’s always a good idea to expect the unexpected.
EPCOT
Your flight could be delayed, you could be late for a dinner reservation, or even worse — you could get STUCK on a ride. As much as we hate to admit it, things can go wrong in Disney World. And, that’s exactly what happened to us on a recent trip to EPCOT!
Disney World rides can break down for any number of reasons, but usually when it requires a full evacuation that means something, somewhere has likely malfunctioned. We were forced to evacuate Test Track at EPCOT when our car decided to, you know, stop doing the zooming thing. But, it wasn’t just a normal evacuation because we were in a very unfortunate place when it happened.

Take a look at just where we got stuck and had to be evacuated from when we were riding Test Track one recent day!

If you are on a ride that does stop like this, that’s exactly what you should do: wait patiently for the ride to either start moving again or for a Cast Member to give you other instructions.
Do NOT get out of the ride vehicle unless a Cast Member tells you to do so.

We know just sitting there can be nerve-wracking, but Cast Members will not forget about you. They are working as quickly as they can to ensure sure you make a safe exit off the ride (one way or another). You may hear instructions over an intercom, or you may need to wait until a Cast Member approaches your ride vehicle, but you will be told exactly what you need to do.

And, don’t forget that Test Track is getting a retheme! Disney hasn’t released too many details about what the ride experience will be like just yet, but, they did mention that it will take inspiration from World of Motion, the ride that was originally there when the park opened in 1982! We can’t wait to experience this reimagined ride.
Hopefully, this doesn’t happen to you on your Disney World trip — unless you want to get a brand new perspective on a ride! Stay tuned to DFB as we bring you the latest updates and more from Disney World!
