Disney World Ride at Center of Lawsuit After Guest Suffers “Dental Injuries”

A Walt Disney World attraction is now at the center of a new negligence lawsuit.

The resort sees a steady stream of guest injury reports each year, ranging from falls to medical emergencies. Some lead to lawsuits, although the existence of an injury does not itself establish that Disney was responsible.

Recent cases have involved attraction queues, Main Street, U.S.A., and water park slides. The latest complaint concerns an incident from 2024 and an attraction that, so far, has not been publicly identified by name.

Guest Claims Fall Happened While Exiting Disney World Ride

Marilyn Williams filed suit against Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc. in Orange County’s Ninth Judicial Circuit Court on August 25, 2026.

Williams, who is representing herself, claims she was injured at Walt Disney World almost exactly two years earlier, on August 26, 2024.

According to the complaint, Williams was a paying guest when she rode what the filing describes only as a “train-themed amusement ride.”

The lawsuit does not reveal which Walt Disney World attraction was involved.

Williams claims she was leaving the ride in the normal manner expected of guests when she encountered an “unsafe or hazardous condition” in the exit area and fell.

She argues that the alleged hazard was not open and obvious and created a foreseeable danger for guests using the exit.

The complaint accuses Disney of failing to properly maintain the area, remedy the alleged condition, provide sufficient warnings or safeguards, and carry out reasonable inspections and safety procedures.

None of those allegations has been proven in court.

Williams says the fall caused multiple injuries, particularly to her mouth and teeth.

According to the lawsuit, she suffered mouth lacerations requiring stitches, loose or damaged teeth, and “additional dental injuries requiring further evaluation or repair.”

She was also transported by ambulance and received hospital evaluation and diagnostic imaging following the incident.

The filing states that Williams later underwent root canal treatment.

Her complaint additionally cites pain and suffering, embarrassment, mental anguish, temporary facial disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses, and anticipated future costs connected to repairing or restoring her teeth.

Williams says she asked Disney immediately after the incident to preserve evidence related to what happened.

That request included surveillance footage, maintenance and attraction logs, incident reports, photographs, witness reports, and other potentially relevant material.

She is seeking compensatory damages, costs, applicable interest, and a jury trial. No specific damages figure is listed in the complaint.

Disney World Has Faced Several Recent Injury Claims

Williams’ lawsuit joins several other recent cases involving alleged injuries at Walt Disney World.

Earlier in August, Deborah Montgomery sued Disney over an incident near Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid at Magic Kingdom.

Montgomery alleges that she fractured her fibula after her foot became trapped in a crevice beside the attraction’s themed cave wall while she was using a mobility scooter in the queue.

Another recent case focused on one of Magic Kingdom’s most recognizable features: the trolley tracks running along Main Street, U.S.A.

Rhonda Smith claimed she suffered permanent injuries after catching her foot in the tracks during an October 2025 visit and later sought more than $50,000 from Disney.

Disney denied liability in that lawsuit, describing the tracks as “open and obvious” and arguing that Smith had failed to exercise reasonable care.

Smith voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit with prejudice in July 2026, meaning those claims cannot be filed again.

Typhoon Lagoon has also been the subject of a high-profile injury case.

Emma McGuinness sued Disney in 2023 over a 2019 ride on Humunga Kowabunga, alleging that the water slide caused an “injurious ‘wedgie'” and serious internal injuries that required emergency hospital treatment.

Beyond lawsuits, Florida publishes quarterly reports detailing certain injuries and medical incidents at its major theme parks.

Those reports do not determine fault and can include situations involving falls, existing medical conditions, or other emergencies that are not necessarily caused by an attraction malfunction.

Walt Disney World reported five qualifying incidents during the second quarter of 2026.

Those included a guest who struck her head on Snow Stormers at Blizzard Beach and another who fell and hit her head while exiting Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom.
