Disney's Hollywood Studios Sign Involved In Small Fire

Disney's Hollywood Studios was the scene of a small electrical fire over the weekend that caused damage to one of its popular signs.

On Saturday night, the sign at the Magic of Disney Animation building caught fire when a ballast shorted out sometime around 9:20 PM. The area in and around the building was evacuated and no guests or cast members were injured during the small fire.

At this time, the show inside of the building is still up and running. It's lights out, however, for the sign until it's completely repaired.
