A person has been reported missing from Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort, and law enforcement has said they may be in danger. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office received the initial call about the missing endangered person at the original Central Florida Disney park on Monday afternoon.

At 1:24 p.m. on September 21, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call about a missing endangered person at Magic Kingdom Park. Law enforcement monitoring account shared the scanner report on X (formerly known as Twitter):

🚨 Police Alert 🚓 – 9/21/26 1:24 PM
🚨: Missing Endangered Person at 📍: Disney’s Magic Kingdom

Interestingly, the Google Maps screenshot attached to the post pinpoints the location of the emergency response in a backstage area behind the Be Our Guest restaurant in Fantasyland. Typically, the coordinates attached to scanner reports from Walt Disney World Resort reflect standard, general addresses for the theme parks, hotels, and Disney Springs, rather than the exact areas where 911 calls originated.

The area behind Be Our Guest is not typically where the Orange County Sheriff’s Office tracks responses to Magic Kingdom Park. This may be where the 911 call regarding the endangered missing person originated, but neither law enforcement nor Walt Disney World Resort has confirmed this.

As of early Monday afternoon, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office has not identified the person missing from Magic Kingdom Park, nor has it specified why they were described as “endangered.” Walt Disney World Resort has similarly remained silent and failed to identify whether the missing person is a cast member or theme park guest.

At this time, Inside the Magic cannot say whether the endangered person reported missing from the Magic Kingdom has been found. Walt Disney World Resort is unlikely to comment publicly on the situation, but the Orange County Sheriff’s Office may release more information if it needs public assistance.

For now, Magic Kingdom Park guests are urged to continue their vacations as planned, taking care to avoid any blocked-off areas and cooperate with any instructions from authorities. Walt Disney World Resort typically tries to minimize the widespread impact of emergency responses on its property and to protect the privacy of those involved.
