In the early afternoon of Tuesday, a hazardous\u2011materials emergency unfolded behind the scenes at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. A reaction triggered by building materials used by a contractor near the Star Tours attraction caused a strong odor and a sudden health scare for several Disney cast members. The incident prompted a swift response from the Anaheim Fire Department, paramedics, and park safety teams, resulting in the hospitalization of at least five employees and the temporary closure of adjacent park areas.<\/p>\n
\\n\\n<\/p>\n
\\n<\/p>\n
According to a statement released by a Disneyland spokesperson to TMZ, the incident began when building materials\u2014details of which remain undisclosed\u2014reacted in the backstage area behind the Star Tours attraction. The reaction produced an unknown odor that quickly spread to nearby workspaces and the shop known as Star Traders, which is directly connected to the attraction.<\/p>\n
\\n<\/p>\n
Paramedics arrived on the scene within minutes and treated several cast members on site. While some were able to leave the area after receiving first aid, the park\u2019s medical team decided to transport five employees to local hospitals for further evaluation. The affected workers reported symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, and a lingering sense of nausea.<\/p>\n
\\n<\/p>\n
In response to the situation, park officials immediately cleared adjacent sections of the park to protect guests and staff. The closure included the Star Tours attraction and the surrounding walkways, which were expected to reopen once the hazard had been fully assessed and neutralized.<\/p>\n
\\n\\n<\/p>\n
\\n<\/p>\n
The Anaheim Fire Department\u2019s hazmat unit was dispatched to the scene shortly after the incident was reported. Their teams conducted a thorough assessment of the area, identifying the source of the odor and ensuring that no hazardous materials posed an ongoing risk to the public. The department confirmed that no guests were affected, and that the park\u2019s emergency response plan was activated in accordance with Disney\u2019s stringent safety standards.<\/p>\n
\\n<\/p>\n
Disney\u2019s internal safety protocols require immediate evacuation of any area where a potential chemical reaction is detected. Employees are trained to recognize early warning signs\u2014such as unusual smells, discoloration, or changes in the environment\u2014and to report them to the park\u2019s safety officers. In this case, the rapid reporting and evacuation helped prevent a larger health crisis.<\/p>\n
\\n<\/p>\n
Following the incident, the park\u2019s medical staff monitored the hospitalized employees for any delayed symptoms. All patients were released after a period of observation, and no long\u2011term health effects were reported at the time of the latest update.<\/p>\n
\\n\\n<\/p>\n
\\n<\/p>\n
While the hazmat incident occurred behind the scenes, the park\u2019s management took precautionary measures to ensure guest safety. The closure of the Star Tours attraction and the surrounding walkways meant that guests were temporarily redirected to other rides and attractions. Disney\u2019s guest services team offered complimentary passes to alternative experiences and provided real\u2011time updates via the Disneyland app.<\/p>\n
\\n<\/p>\n
According to the park\u2019s spokesperson, the affected areas are expected to reopen soon, pending a final safety inspection. In the meantime, guests are encouraged to check the Disneyland website or the official app for the latest information on attraction availability and any potential changes to park hours.<\/p>\n
