Welcome to Disney World — where dreams come true, and ankles go to die.
A new report reveals that the most common way guests get hurt at the so-called “Happiest Place on Earth” isn’t from whiplash on the Rise of the Resistance or food poisoning from a questionable turkey leg in Magic Kingdom — it’s from simply tripping while getting on or off a ride.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services released its annual injury roundup from Orlando’s theme parks, and for Disney die-hards, the findings are enough to make you skip the FastPass.
Six guests reported injuries last year after tumbling while entering or exiting attractions at Disney World, including the Frozen Ever After ride, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, the Mad Tea Party and even the regal-sounding Prince Charming Regal Carrousel.
Apparently, all it takes is a mistimed step to transform your magical vacation into a one-way trip to the ER.
One unlucky visitor twisted her leg after stepping off Buzz Lightyear’s ride on April 22. Another took a spill, leaving the Mad Tea Party on March 31.
A third broke stride — and nearly an ankle — getting off Frozen Ever After in January.
And the risk isn’t just for the clumsy or careless.
Other incidents in the park included fainting spells, chest pain, seizure-like symptoms, and shortness of breath after rides like Peter Pan’s Flight and Star Tours.
One 87-year-old guest even lost consciousness after riding DINOSAUR at Animal Kingdom. Jurassic risk, anyone?
Moral of the story? You don’t need to ride Tower of Terror to wind up in traction. Watch your step, hold that rail — and maybe skip the princess heels.
As previously reported by The Post, Mickey Mouse and crew can boot you from Disney parks for breaking dress rules.
“Here’s five things you can’t wear to Disneyland Paris, or you might get kicked out,” warned UK travel influencer Sophie to her 300,000 TikTok followers.
“We all know that planning your Disney outfit is an essential part of your trip,” she added.
Tops of her don’t-even-think-about-it list? Costumes. “Disney is not a cosplay convention,” Sophie said.
Overall, maybe it’s best to forget the thrill rides. The real challenge is making it off them in one piece, dressed nothing like Elsa.
