Witnesses reported that around 11:30 p.m., guests in the popular themed area were swiftly escorted out by a heavy presence of Disney cast members and security personnel. The sudden closure, occurring well before the park’s usual closing time of midnight, has left many visitors and fans seeking answers.
A Dramatic Incident
Guests who were in New Orleans Square during the incident described a sudden, urgent evacuation. The immediate removal of guests and heightened security presence raised concerns and curiosity. New Orleans Square, known for its vibrant and immersive atmosphere inspired by the historic French Quarter of New Orleans, was abruptly closed to visitors, leading to speculation about the cause.
The resort did not elaborate on the specifics of the incident, but it seems that the threat was resolved. The park resumed normal operations this morning, with New Orleans Square reopening to the public as scheduled.
The unexpected closure led to mixed reactions among guests. Many expressed frustration and confusion over the lack of detailed information. The incident also prompted discussions on social media, where fans and visitors shared their experiences and speculated about the reasons behind the sudden closure.
While some expressed concerns about potential security threats, others were hopeful that the matter was resolved without incident. One witness explains:
“new orleans shut down?

Fire Alarm Reportedly Triggered
While the exact cause of this late-night evacuation is unknown, many commenters say it was due to a fire alarm being triggered at one of the area’s restaurants. In cases of fire, Disneyland Resort often evacuates the entire area to be safe.
