Stunned crowds at the theme park in Orlando, Florida, stood in shock around the faux Parisian neighbourhood as their magical day was interrupted by serious danger.

It came as thousands of families flocked to Walt Disney World to enjoy Spring Break, as well as Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival.

Fire engines rushed to the scene and quickly extinguished the blaze.

A spokesperson from Disney said the blaze on Saturday at Walt Disney World Resort happened in a walk-in cooler.

The walk-in cooler was housed behind the France Pavilion in a backstage area.

France Pavilion is part of the World  Showcase at the resort’s Epcot theme park.

There were no injuries, but the cause of the fire was not immediately known.

A local official said the fire was quickly put out by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District fire department.

The pavilion reopened to theme park guests in the early evening.
