No, Cinderella Castle Has Not “Burned to the Ground” at Disney World

Some casual Disney fans spiraled this week after it was reported that a fire had burned down Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom – which, we’re glad to say, categorically did not happen.

A TikTok shared by Mouse Trap News appeared to show the park’s centerpiece up in flames while guests casually walked down Main Street, U.S.A., with a caption reading: “We aren’t crying, you are… okay we are too.”

The video (which was set to the emotional track “Married Life” from Up) also claimed that Disney had intentionally started the fire as an excuse to replace Cinderella Castle with another icon, such as Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated from Phineas and Ferb or a Spirit Halloween store.

With over 24.9 million views, the story quickly circulated social media, with many taking to the TikTok’s comment section to question the story’s validity. Several others users chipped in with their own ‘proof’ that the incident occurred, writing “I was there when it happened, they started selling Disney castle smores at all the gift shops,” “I can confirm all this I’m Cinderella,” and “I was there, I saw Ron DeSantis running from the castle with a Bic lighter and a bottle of lighter fluid.”
