Late last night, Disneyland Resort temporarily suspended tram operations after guests reported a burning wood-like odor coming from the tram loading area. This unanticipated incident, which occurred after the parks had closed, led to an immediate evacuation to ensure the safety of all visitors.
The main news element of this situation is that Disneyland staff acted quickly to evacuate guests from the trams, guiding them safely to the parking structures. The action was precautionary and taken to minimize any potential risks, though no injuries or immediate threats have been reported. The tram service resumed shortly afterward, with normal operations continuing through the rest of the night.
Guest Reports Raise Concerns
A guest, who was in the area during the incident, shared their experience in an online forum, describing the situation in detail:
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?”
The guest’s account raises questions about what might have caused the burning smell and whether there was any immediate threat to safety. While Disneyland has yet to release an official statement, the prompt evacuation and lack of reported injuries suggest that the situation was handled swiftly and efficiently.

The Disneyland Tram and Its Importance
The Disneyland Resort tram is a key element of the park’s transportation system, designed to move large groups of guests from the expansive parking areas to the entrance of the theme parks. With both the Mickey & Friends parking structure and Pixar Pals parking garage often at capacity, the tram provides a much-needed service that helps reduce walk times and ensures a smoother experience for visitors.
Though there is no official word yet on the cause of the odor, Disneyland Resort has resumed normal tram operations. Guests are encouraged to stay updated by checking the Disneyland app for any changes to park services. As the resort continues its efforts to provide a safe environment for guests, incidents like this remind visitors of the importance of Disney’s safety protocols in maintaining smooth and secure park operations.
