Video: Lightning Spiders Across the Sky Above the Haunted Mansion at the Magic Kingdom

Updated:

Guests visiting the Haunted Mansion were treated to some extra ambiance as a storm passed near the Magic Kingdom. Lightning stretched out across the sky over the Haunted Mansion, creating a memorable video for one guest.

Watch the slow motion spider lightning below.

Pretty awesome, right? What a perfect backdrop for the always spooky Haunted Mansion. Here’s the clip at regular speed.

We just know there’s a Lightning Lane joke to be made here …

Florida is no stranger to big summer storms. Lightning is a regular occurrence at Walt Disney World, and guests have caught some wild videos. Remember when lightning hit within Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge?

Guests visiting Walt Disney World during the steamy summer months should be prepared for rapidly-changing weather and severe storms. Thankfully, this lightning burst didn’t strike within the park, but it’s a reminder of how wild the weather can get at the theme parks.
