Disney World Area Experiences Multi-Day Water Outage, “Poo Brown” Water Reported

Wait 5 sec.

Countless locals and Walt Disney World Resort guests were affected by a water outage earlier this week. Although water returned after less than a day, families reported “poo brown” water coming out of faucets, and Central Florida officials issued a boil water advisory to everyone in the affected area.Credit: DisneyOn Tuesday, Summer (@fiveminutesfromdisney on TikTok) posted this video announcing that her home, five minutes from Walt Disney World Resort, as her username suggests, had lost access to running water. She joked that she might need a staycation at a Disney Resort hotel: @fiveminutesfromdisney Is anyone staying at Disney world and have running water? I may need to check in for a staycation tomorrow #orlando #disney #lakebuenavista #disneyworld #disneyap #disneyadult #florida #hurricane #weather #disneyprincess #disneyparks #magickingdom #epcot #hollywoodstudios #animalkingdom ♬ original sound – Summer Shortly after Summer discovered that “literally nothing” was coming from her faucets, her neighbor texted to say they also had no water. Then, she got a notification from the Ring app that “there’s no running water really anywhere near Lake Buena Vista right now.” (Although people often associate Walt Disney World Resort with Orlando, it’s technically in the city of Lake Buena Vista.)In the comments, several locals and guests staying in non-Disney hotels said they also didn’t have water.Credit: MarriottThe next morning, Summer reported that after crews worked all night, her water finally came back on. There was just one problem: “The water was pure brown.” @fiveminutesfromdisney Living 5 minutes from Disney! We have running water again but it’s poo brown We are on a boil water notice, wahoo! #orlando #florida #disney #disneyworld #wdw #disneytips #disneyparks #magickingdom #epcot #hollywoodstudios #disneyadult #disneyfood #disneyfoodie #disneysnack #disneysnacks ♬ original sound – Summer By mid-morning, the water had lightened, but it was still dirty. Commenters in the area reported the same issue.“The water from my hotel at the Marriot near Disney Orlando is brown!!” @sophia8182 wrote.Credit: MarriottOfficials put the area on a boil water advisory, meaning people should boil tap water at least one minute before using it for drinking, brushing their teeth, cooking, or washing dishes. Doing laundry and showering is safe if people avoid getting water in their eyes and mouths.Summer said a large water main break caused the water outage near Walt Disney World Resort. Disney’s water is on a separate system, so all of the Disney parks and Disney Resort hotels were unaffected by the issue.Were you affected by the water outage near Walt Disney World Resort?
