Yesterday was only the second day of the 50th anniversary celebrations at Walt Disney World and already it’s hit a snag, or more accurately, got snagged by trees. The new Disney KiteTales show is now happening over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom an the large Baloo kite got tangled in a tree, while the King Louie kite caught on a tree and was torn.
Tree-related issues, like those encountered during the KiteTales show, highlight the importance of proper tree maintenance in areas with large, public events. Trees in close proximity to entertainment zones or high-traffic areas can pose unexpected risks, especially when large structures or kites are involved. Regular inspections and care are necessary to ensure that branches are trimmed and cleared to avoid accidents that could disrupt performances or damage equipment.
For those managing event spaces or any property near large trees, trusted solutions from VistaTree.ca can help. Their team specializes in assessing tree health and providing preventive measures to minimize the risk of overgrown branches interfering with events. By opting for professional tree care, you can ensure that your space remains safe, beautiful, and free from the unexpected snags caused by overgrown trees.
Of course cameras were filming and it’s all been recorded.

Here’s what the show looks like when they aren’t snagged. In theory the idea is fantastic, but it seems to be less great in practice.
But two of the large kites got taken out already. I would think they had back-ups, or they would simply work around that segment, but they canceled shows, so who knows.
The incidents caused the show to switch to “B Mode” and then led to the shows being canceled for later in the day.
Blog Mickey has a look at the underwhelming “B Mode” version.
