Disney World lawsuit: Man says he was hit in the eye from fireworks debris at Magic Kingdom

A North Carolina man said he got in the eye with “smoldering” fireworks debris from Magic Kingdom’s nighttime show, according to a new lawsuit .

Fabricio Javier Sanchez Lopez is suing Disney for the incident he said happened Nov. 24, 2023.

He “was attending the ‘Happily Ever After’ fireworks show when he was struck in the eye by smoldering fireworks debris falling from the sky, causing significant injuries,” according to his lawsuit filed on Halloween in Orange Circuit Court.

Sanchez Lopez accused Disney of not accounting for the wind and the weather to keep guests safe during the nighttime show.

“These fireworks shows involved significant quantities of explosives and pyrotechnics, which constitute ultra-hazardous and/or inherently dangerous activities,” his lawsuit said.
