Spending a day at Disneyland Resort means you’ll usually be exposed to all kinds of amazing smells of things like nearby popcorn, churros, ice cream and such – and a group of cast members who reportedly see a very low turnover . However, on Tuesday, an “unknown odor” resulted in multiple cast members getting sent to the hospital at California’s original Disneyland theme park in Anaheim. As KTLA has reported, this odor “was detected” at the backstage area of the Star Tours attraction in Tomorrowland. Around 12:30 p.m., the Anaheim Police Department arrived to the scene, and seven cast members were taken to local hospitals after experiencing dizziness and shortness of breath for evaluation. Other cast members were also treated at the resort by paramedics, but had milder symptoms and were released rather than taken offsite.Based on what’s known about the incident thus far, the temporarily threatening smell was caused by building materials being used by a contractor that produced the odor. As a precaution, guests were promptly cleared from the immediate area, and there have been no reports from affected guests, per Anaheim police’s Sgt. Mark Sutter. Star Tours is currently back up and running (per the Disneyland App) at the time of this article’s publication.
