Even magic malfunctions sometimes.
On Tuesday, the Frozen Ever After ride at Disney’s Epcot in Orlando, Florida, reportedly broke down, according to one person on social media.
Twitter user Drew the Disney Dude first posted about a "long delay" on the ride, which is based on the 2013 animated film, around 3:45 p.m. EST, saying the boats hadn’t moved "in about 10 minutes."

In the post, Drew included a video, where a voice came over the intercom saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, due to unforeseen conditions, your wait time may be longer than expected. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience."
