A guest who was present during the event described the situation on a Disneyland-focused online forum:

“Operations for the tram were shut down after the parks closed last night. I smelled an odor which might have been something structural burning (it was definitely a burning wood type smell). They then directed people off the trams and from the queues to walk back to the structure. Is any information available on what happened?

In response to the reports, Disneyland Resort cast members swiftly evacuated guests from the trams and surrounding areas, directing them to walk back to the parking structures. The quick action was taken as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of all guests and staff.

What Happens Next?

As of now, Disneyland Resort has not released an official statement regarding the cause of the odor or any potential hazards. The tram service has since resumed, and normal operations are ongoing.

The Disneyland Resort tram is a popular and convenient mode of transportation that helps guests travel from the parking areas to the entrance of the theme parks. These open-air trams are designed to carry large groups of guests, providing a quick and efficient way to get from the vast parking lots, such as the Mickey & Friends parking structure and Pixar Pals parking garage, to the park entrances. The trams are a critical service, particularly during peak park hours, as they help minimize the walk time for visitors, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience.

Guests are encouraged to stay informed by checking the Disneyland app for real-time updates on park operations and any potential changes to services. For more information on Disneyland Resort’s safety protocols and guest services, please visit the official Disneyland website.
