The “Most Magical Place on Earth” momentarily lost some of its magic.
An adult female black bear found at Disney World forced the closure of several rides on Monday.
The bear was spotted Monday morning hanging from a tree near the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Frontierland, local authorities told Fox 35 in Orlando.
The popular ride has been closed along with several others, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Hall of Presidents, Liberty Square Riverboat, Tom Sawyer Island, Jungle Cruise and Walt Disney World Railroad, with Fantasyland, Frontierland and Main Street areas temporarily closed.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and local law enforcement arrived on the scene and “safely captured” the black bear inside the Magic Kingdom several hours later, FWC and Disney World Resorts both told The Post in statements .
Aerial footage from Orlando station WESH appears to show the capture of the large animal.
As of 3 p.m., all rides have reopened, except for the Walt Disney World Railroad.
However, no details about where the bear was captured, its size or condition, or how it wandered onto the property have been released.
The FWC told The Post that the bear was likely foraging before winter hibernation, likely looking for more than bare necessities “to pack fat reserves for the winter” — black bears eat nearly 20,000 calories per day in the fall.

“In most cases, it is best for the bear to be given space and move on its own, but given this situation, staff are working to capture and relocate the bear,” the FWC statement continued.
The commission announced plans to relocate the animals in or around the Ocala National Forest in Marion County, Florida – about 90 minutes north of the Walt Disney World Resort.
