I-4 Crash Blocks Two Lanes Near Disney Exits
Published October 13, 2026
Florida 511 (FDOT) reported a crash Tuesday afternoon, October 13, on I-4 West in Osceola County, before Mile Marker 62/SR-417 — the stretch drivers use to reach the Walt Disney World exits. Two left lanes are blocked, according to the agency’s public feed, which last updated the incident at 4:39 PM ET.
As of Tuesday, October 13 at 4:46 PM ET, the incident was still listed as active. SupaPark’s tracking first logged it at 4:31 PM ET.
Florida 511 (FDOT) lists the location as I-4 West before MM 62/SR-417, in Osceola County. Westbound I-4 is the direction that carries traffic from the Orlando hotel corridors and the airport toward the Disney exits.
That segment feeds Exit 62 (World Drive), Exit 64 (US-192), Exit 65 (Osceola Parkway), Exit 67 (EPCOT Center Drive / SR-536) and Exit 68 (SR-535, Lake Buena Vista). With two left lanes down, through traffic funnels into the remaining lanes ahead of those exits.
Florida 511 (FDOT) has not stated a cause, has not reported injuries, and has not given an estimated clearing time. No full closure is listed — only the two blocked left lanes. Disney has said nothing about this incident, and nothing in the agency data indicates any effect on park hours, transportation, or operations.

What it means for your trip
- If you are driving westbound from an International Drive, Lake Buena Vista, or airport-area hotel this evening, the blockage sits upstream of your Disney exit — add buffer before any evening dining reservation rather than leaving on your usual timing.
- Dining reservations are the thing most likely to break. If you are holding a table tonight and the drive eats your window, cancel in My Disney Experience before you miss it; SupaPark’s dining Drop Watch can alert you the moment a replacement table frees up from someone else’s cancellation.
- Guests already on Disney property are unaffected — internal roads, buses, the monorail and the Skyliner do not use I-4. If you are park-hopping tonight, stay on Disney transportation instead of driving out and back.
- Heading to Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom via Exit 62 or 65? World Drive and Osceola Parkway are reachable from the US-192 side as well, which is worth knowing if your navigation app reroutes you off I-4 at the last minute.
- Rideshare pickups from off-site hotels may quote longer trips in the same direction; if you have a fixed arrival time — a reservation, a show, a Lightning Lane return window — leave earlier rather than counting on the trip estimate holding.
