Around 250 employees at Walt Disney World’’s reservation center near International Drive were evacuated due to the arrival of a suspicious package addressed to “Eisner.” X-rays showed that the package contained some sort of object with electronics and wires. The evacuations were prompted due to the fact that the suspicious package arrived just one day after the last of 4,000 Disney employees were being let go.

In the end, everything turned out fine. The package was opened after Orange County firefighters and a bomb squad were called in. An electronic talking pen/microphone promotional tool was found inside.
