The incident occurred aboard the "It's a Small World" attraction in California.
Videos shared on social media showed a costumed Disney employee using a fire extinguisher while guests remained on the ride.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Disney World Fire Claims Linked to Portable Charger
Witnesses who filmed the incident claimed the fire was caused by a portable phone charger rather than the attraction itself.
One TikTok user alleged the device, not the ride, was responsible for the blaze.
"This was a guest's portable charger exploding - not Disney or the ride. You can blame them for a lot but not this one," the user claimed.
Another social media user, who said their family was inside the attraction at the time, alleged that a child had placed a bag containing a new magnetic portable charger between their legs before it reportedly caught fire.
Someone identifying themselves as a Disney cast member echoed that account, writing, "This is correct. SW CM here! Everyone is okay, including the ride itself."
Disney has not publicly confirmed the exact cause of the fire.
The incident drew widespread attention online, with videos of the smoky scene quickly circulating across social media platforms.
