ORLANDO (CBSMiami) - A scary moment for a performer at "The Most Magical Place on Earth."
During a performance Sunday of Fantasmic! at Walt Disney World Resort's Hollywood Studios, Dopey the dwarf fell from the second level of a steam boat during the shows finale.
Twitter user @MaagicConch captured the incident and uploaded it to her account.

Immediately after the fall, Chip ran over to help. There's no word on if Dopey or Goofy were injured.
If there is a silver lining to this story, Goofy broke Dopey's fall and also kept him from falling into the water.
Safety at Disney parks for both guests and employees has alway been a top priority for the company and this will no doubt lead to discussions on better fall protections.
