A Walt Disney World bus began emitting smoke on Monday evening, July 20, prompting guests to evacuate and leading to a temporary road closure near the resort. No further details about injuries or the cause of the incident were immediately available.
On the business side, The Walt Disney Company and The Kraft Heinz Company announced a long-term, multi-year partnership that will bring familiar brands — including HEINZ, Philadelphia cream cheese, and Kraft Mac & Cheese — to Disney Parks, complete with custom equipment and new menu items.
Disney also confirmed another round of layoffs, with hundreds of positions being eliminated across Pixar, ESPN, Disney Entertainment Television, and additional studio divisions. The cuts are part of an ongoing restructuring effort at the company.
Other notable updates from the day include new menu items coming to Ale & Compass at Disney's Yacht Club, construction walls going up at Grand Floridian Café as it begins a months-long refurbishment, and a haunted house inspired by the film Evil Dead Burn announced for Halloween Horror Nights 35 at Universal Orlando.
