A Disneyland shuttle area was briefly closed early Wednesday while the bomb squad checked out a wad of clay stuck to a pole, police said.
The substance was not dangerous, said Sgt. Rick Martinez, spokesman for the Anaheim Police Department.
The shuttle area off of Harbor Boulevard was closed for less than an hour, Martinez said. It reopened about 11:15 a.m..
Both theme parks remained open during the law-enforcement search.
During the closure, Disney employees told visitors to wait outside the gate or walk around through Downtown Disney, which would take about 20 to 25 minutes. Between 50 to 100 people stood on the sidewalk along Harbor Boulevard near Disney Way while police and fire officials checked out the scene.
Martinez said someone noticed the clay-like substance, which was less than the size of a golf ball. The bomb squad was called to look at it, but chipped it off and realized it was nothing.
Betsy Sanchez, a Disneyland Resort spokeswoman, said the area was closed for the safety of guests.
