The park originally claimed the sword was gone as the park was undergoing refurbishments along with King Arthur’s Carrousel.
However, an eyewitness told WDW News Today the “buff” guest called Sam was able to pull it from the stone after being told he would win a prize if he did it.
He also said it wasn’t as smooth as it sounded, with it being “broken and jagged” after being yanked from the feature.
The hole was later covered with duct tape and has since been restored back to its rightful place.
