Anyone who’s visited a Disney Park can tell you that the parking lots are massive, built especially to accommodate hundreds of visitors. Typically, after parking, guests board the parking trams to get closer to the entrance.
These parking trams are incredibly safe, and they stay on the ground, unlike the Monorails, so guests with a fear of heights can rest easy. However, nothing is perfect, and accidents can still happen, despite the Disney magic.
And last night, there seemed to have been an accident on Disney theme park property, according to the latest reports.

As it turns out, two parking trams actually crashed into each other outside of a Disneyland theme park. Guests present on the scene reported back, saying Cast Members weren’t ‘nice or helpful.’ That being said, safety is the top priority of each Cast Member’s duties, meaning that courtesy and customer service sometimes needs to take the backseat in an event of an accident.
@Disneyland well done. Trams crash and after a long day have to walk 20 min to car. And staff is not nice or helpful. pic.twitter.com/wCjrkNZVbx

When it comes to visiting Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, an injury should be the last thing on any guest’s mind. But in the event of any theme park injuries, be sure to find a Cast Member who will assist you from there.
Cast Members will either help by offering over-the-counter medical supplies to be purchased or by pointing you in the direction of the theme park’s First Aid center.
