Great news for fans of Festival of Fantasy Parade at the Magic Kingdom! The Maleficent Dragon float will soon be returning to the line up!
The float was removed from the parade back in May after it burst into flames as the parade strolled through the park. The head of the dragon spits flames and apparently malfunctioned.
The giant steampunk-inspired dragon is currently in the Magic Kingdom and has been involved in the rehearsals for the Festival of Fantasy parade, according to WDWMagic.com. Take a look at the video below to see the incident.
The fire was quickly extinguished and there were no reports of injuries. There is no word on if the float will be breathing fire again, but the good news is, she’s back!
A woman was arrested at Epcot in Walt Disney World after witnesses saw her dragging a child by a harness in an Epcot bathroom, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
A 911 call was received Tuesday night about a woman who was yelling and dragging a child by a harness he or she was wearing, according to deputies. The woman was later identified as 34-year-old Sara Villar.
As a result of being dragged, the child hit his or her head on the bathroom floor, according to authorities.
When deputies confronted Villar, she refused to give her name. She became angry and turned a stroller “in an aggressive manner”, which caused a child to fall out of the stroller, the report states.
Deputies tried to get Villar to calm down and identify herself, but she refused. She was then escorted to a patrol vehicle where she began to hit her head on the hood and dent it, according to authorities.

A newborn baby was abandoned at Animal Kingdom Lodge early Sunday morning and according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the woman who walked into the Disney World resort claiming she’d been handed a baby by a fleeing stranger was in fact the child’s mother.
Orange County Sheriff’s deputies responded to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge around 2:30 a.m. after a female guest reported that a woman approached her in the lobby, handed her the infant and then walked away.
Reedy Creek Fire Rescue responded to the resort and transported the newborn to Celebration Hospital, where the baby is reportedly in good health, according officials.
Sheriff’s office spokesman Jeff Williamson said police later determined that the woman who came into the resort’s lobby carrying the newborn was, in fact, the baby’s mom. Detectives located the woman and she was transported to a facility for evaluation and treatment.
The Florida Department of Children and Families was notified. The agency is “actively assessing and working with the family,” a DCF spokeswoman said. “The child is safe and receiving medical care.”
Florida has a Safe Haven law that allows a parent to drop off a newborn at any fire station or hospital in the state, no questions asked.
