Cast Members Perform Emergency Rescue

Unfortunately, the normally tranquil atmosphere of this land was brutally disrupted by quite a concerning scene. In an unfortunate twist of fate, a child recently found themselves in a precarious situation at the EPCOT Mexico Pavilion, prompting a swift and heroic response from the dedicated Cast Members on site. A witness of the incident shared their account, saying:

“Not a tip but anyone in Epcot today and see the kid at the top of Mexico Pavilion? Around 2pm my family and I were inside and see some cast members out that back door with walkies looking up and I went outside and a kid, prob no more then 13 year old climbed up to the top(didn’t see this part) but he kept popping his head out and cast members told him not to move. Lots of cast members with walkies were on it but wondering what happened. Young kid which was even crazier”

According to others commenting on the situation, the child was able to be safely brought back to the ground by cast members and other Walt Disney World personnel. Photos of the incident were also shared, but for the protection of the child, we have chosen to block out their face.
