Firefighters were called to a small fire at an attraction at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom park on Wednesday, officials said.
According to the Reedy Creek Fire Department, firefighters were called to the park's The Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management attraction in the Adventureland section of Magic Kingdom about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Fire Department spokesman Bo Jones said a small fire in the attic of the attraction was extinguished by fire sprinklers. Firefighters worked to evacuate the area and to check to make sure the fire was completely out, Jones said.
After determining that the fire was out, firefighters reopened the area, officials said. About 8 p.m., Jones said only the Enchanted Tiki Room remained closed to park goers, as crews worked to clear excess sprinkler water.
The cause of the fire was still under investigation Wednesday evening. Jones said crews were still working to determine the extent of the damage, but he said it appeared the sprinklers had kept the fire from spreading to other structures.
"They did their job today," he said. Firefighters did not report any injuries as a result of the fire.
According to Disney's website, The Enchanted Tiki Room Under New Management is a "Polynesian musical revue starring singing birds, flowers and tiki idols, performed for Guests of all ages inside the Sunshine Pavilion in the Adventureland area at Magic Kingdom theme park."
The attraction, originally named Tropical Serenade, features two of Disney's well-known characters, Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from The Lion King, according to the website.

and into a darkened space. I don't mind closing my eyes and resting my weary bones until the end of the show.
