Disneyland Sets the Record Straight on Tree Incident During Stormy Night
But here’s the part that raises questions: did a tree really fall on a guest, or is the story being clarified for accuracy? Disneyland Resort is addressing circulating reports to clear up what happened during a stormy Tuesday night in Southern California.
In a statement provided to NBC Los Angeles, a Disneyland spokesperson confirmed that a tree, located on the patio of the Plaza Inn restaurant inside the park, toppled around 11:40 p.m. on Tuesday. Due to the heavy rain, the patio was not in use by diners at the time.
The spokesperson added that two visitors sustained minor grazing injuries at the scene. The statement did not specify exactly how the injuries occurred. Disneyland Fire Department personnel evaluated the area, and the crew worked through the night to remove the fallen tree and restore the area.
The incident occurred as Southern California endured a storm that brought mountain snow, flooded streets, and measurable rainfall across the region. Forecasters warned of another storm heading toward the Southland later in the week, suggesting that residents and visitors should stay alert for more severe weather.

Do you think reports like this should be more thoroughly investigated before they spread, or is the official update sufficient to set the record straight?
