Disney World in Orlando, United States, was closed on Monday, September 18, due to a bear that was on the loose.
According to reports, during the first hours, before all attractions opened to the general public, a bear was seen in the Magic Kingdom area, causing the closure of at least 3 areas of Disney World in Orlando.
It was the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission who later, through a statement, confirmed the presence of the furry visitor within the park, reporting that it was a black bear that was in a tree.

Disney World in Orlando, United States, did not imagine that an unexpected visitor would cause the partial closure of the park this Monday.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission noted that they carried out extremely careful work to capture the bear, and then search for a safe area for its release.
It is presumed that the specimen entered Disney World in search of food, because it was prowling the trees in the area known as Magic Kingdom.
The authorities pointed out that the sighting of species is not such an abnormal situation, since several animals are very active during this time of year.
The areas of the park in Orlando that were affected by the bear on the loose were:
AdventurelandFrontierlandLiberty Square
These areas were even placed with the notice “temporarily closed” through the Disney World application, which helps visitors plan their stay.
This also caused some attractions to have a longer wait time than normal, due to almost half of the place being closed.
Personnel who work as assistants also provided instructions to those who were in the place, since the reason why access to certain areas was not allowed was unknown.
However, during the afternoon and after the work of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, Disney World Orlando reopened its doors to the public.

Bear spotted at Disney World in Orlando, United States, was released
Personnel from the Bear Management Program of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission reported this Tuesday, September 19, that the bear sighted in the Magic Kingdom area at Disney World in Orlando was released into the wild.
The relocation actions were carried out during the early hours of this day, after the specimen, an adult female black bear, was checked and protected by specialists.
The area chosen for their release was the Ocala National Forest, Florida, located an hour and a half from where World Disney Orlando is located.
The experts recalled that at this time of year -autumn-, these animals are preparing for winter, so it is very common for them to be sighted in search of food.
For this reason, they stressed that if they see one it is important to give them their space, and call the authorities in charge, as they can easily become stressed.
