Disney World works hard to make the parks as safe as possible for guests, but even with all of the precautions in place, injuries can still happen.
Cosmic Rewind
Safety is a major priority for Disney World, but with millions of people visiting the parks each year, injuries do occasionally happen. And in the first few months of 2025, seven different Disney World rides had injuries reported.
Each quarter, a report is released reviewing the injuries reported at the theme parks. Major Florida theme parks must self-report serious incidents where visitors are injured on a ride and are hospitalized for at least 24 hours. The report for the first quarter of 2025 reveals that seven different Disney World attractions had injuries reported during those three months (January 1st, 2025 – March 31st, 2025).
Cinderella’s Castle
Of the Disney World theme parks, Disney’s Hollywood Studios had the most attractions with injuries reported in the first quarter of 2025. Three rides at Hollywood Studios reported serious injuries: Star Tours – The Adventures Continue, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, and Alien Swirling Saucers. There was one injury reported at each of the attractions.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
One injury was reported at two different Magic Kingdom attractions: Peter Pan’s Flight and Mad Tea Party.
Peter Pan’s Flight
An injury was also reported at two EPCOT attractions: Frozen Ever After and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Frozen Ever After
During the first quarter of 2025, Disney’s Animal Kingdom was the only Disney World park with no attractions that had reported injuries. Again, this report only includes serious injuries that required at least 24 hours of hospitalization, so incidents where someone had a minor injury but continued on with their day are not counted.
Tree of Life
While serious injuries are relatively rare, it’s important to take steps to reduce your chances of getting hurt while visiting the parks. The precautions you can take include reading warning signs, checking in with your body, listening to Cast Member instructions, and being cautious as you experience attractions. Not all injuries can be prevented, but being mindful of these preventative steps can help keep you safe.
Always read the warning signs!

Hi Gino. You would need to reach out to The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for that information as they do not release detailed information, just a basic rundown.
Right there with you @Bob. MUST have been while loading onto the ride.
