Disneyland Issues Statement Confirming Park Remains Open Despite Nearby Chemical Incident

Disneyland Resort Operations Unaffected by Ongoing Garden Grove Chemical Incident

An ongoing chemical incident at an industrial aerospace facility in Garden Grove, California has triggered evacuation orders for thousands of residents in the surrounding Orange County area. The incident originally began on Thursday, May 21, and has impacted parts of Garden Grove, Anaheim, and neighboring communities.

Because the situation is localized, Disneyland Resort is not inside the current evacuation zone. The resort sits approximately five miles away from the facility, and park operations are running normally with no direct impacts at this time.

While the situation remains fluid, local authorities are managing the scene. Guests heading to the parks this weekend should be aware of potential road closures and minor traffic disruptions in the surrounding area.

Is Disneyland closed because of the Garden Grove chemical situation

No, Disneyland Resort remains open. There is currently no impact on theme park operations, downtown areas, or resort hotels. Disney officials are actively monitoring the situation and staying in close contact with local emergency services and authorities.

Will Disneyland be evacuated?

There are currently no evacuation orders for Disneyland Resort. Because the theme parks are located roughly five miles away from the industrial facility, the resort sits safely outside of the designated evacuation perimeter.

Will the hazmat incident affect travel to Disneyland

It could affect your drive. While the parks themselves are operating normally, the surrounding cities of Garden Grove and Anaheim are experiencing active road closures and detours. Guests traveling to and from the resort should check local traffic updates and navigation apps before heading out to avoid delays.
