Anyone Know What happen at Biergarden at Epcot Today?

[SandrainNC]

I hope the band member is ok!!!

That happened to us in 2006 with Sci Fi. The CMs were very nice and explained that there was a sewage backup problem. They changed our reservations and also gave us the Fantastmic! dinner package (well the pass anyway) for our inconvenience. Which was nice of them since it wasn't their fault about the sewage.

That's just tragic. Many prayers for his family and friends.

How sad...my thoughts are with everyone who work there. Sadly, this past week a CM from the entertainment department also passed away. He wasn't at work, but he was very young. He was a friend of mine and he'll truly be missed.

My granddaughter and I were eating lunch there and the rumor is true. The bass player, who I understand has been playing there for 27 years, had a heart attack and died on stage. He seemed absolutely fine, played a couple of songs, did a birthday song for the birthdays in the house, taught everyone the toast, then during the next song just collapsed on stage. We were sitting on the first row, near the side where he was standing, probably no more than 15-20 feet from him, and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. My granddaughter and another little boy were dancing on the dance floor just a few minutes before. Unfortunately it happened in front of the entire audience. I feel really sad for his family and coworkers. I understand that many people working there have been there a long time and are really close. I was also told that his wife also works there but was not present when it happened. When they called for Medics, then any MD in the house, several men ran up. After a few minutes it they began CPR, which they continued until EMS arrived and took over. We left at this point because my granddaughter (5) was very upset, and it seemed to me that this man was gone. We stopped by a couple of hours later just to check on him and talked to a manager, who confirmed what we feared. They closed for the rest of the day, but I didn't check to see if they reopened today.

Prayers please for his family and friends...

On how sad for that man and his family. I saw a stranger die in front of me at a McDonalds. Very traumatic.
Hope yal are feeling OK.

That is really sad. My prayers are with his family. To have it happen so suddenly is just so sad.

How sad! I just hope that Disney didn't have to deal with any guests who only cared about not being able to eat dinner.

Very sad, my thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

 

[JenSop]

That is truly sad. I feel for his friends and family. But I can say also as a musician/performer myself that if you have to go, I can't think of a better way - doing what you love.

 

[ILoveDisney&Cruising]

So sad! We'll be praying for his family & friends.

 

[TwingleMum]

His family is in my prayers

 

[grinningghost]

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

How terribly sad. He will be in our prayers.

 

[Lisa D]

How very sad! I'm sure our family has seen him play - been to the Biergarten many times. Praying...

 

[sassyMNmom]

Oh no!

We just ate there the evening before he died, and he seemed like a fit handsome man. So sad!

 

[Sysyphus]

What a terrible thing for all concerned - thoughts go to his family and friends.
