We just returned from a quick trip to Florida and we were at the Magic Kingdom this past Thursday. We were near the carousel and walked through the castle from the backside, taking the left path down toward Tomorrowland.
Without realizing it, we ended up walking through the edge of where several Jewish men (probably 100 or so) were congregating. It appeared they were saying their individual prayers.
I’m embarrassed to say I know very little about the customs of people who are Jewish. It appeared that the women were waiting 10 feet or so away.
I don’t recall seeing this before at WDW. Is it done in other parks too? We felt bad when we realized where we were and exited the area. Had we realized that a religious practice was going on, out of respect, we would have taken a different path.
Would appreciate some education on this.
Thank you.
