Conflicting reports of attacks coming in from guests, reporters, and Cast Members at Disneyland Paris have recently swarmed social media. Parts of the park have been evacuated or put on lockdown due to security protocols and armed military is currently present at the scene. However, Cast Members at Disneyland Paris have confirmed that this was a false alarm.

It is also being reported that no reports of gunshots or weapons have been used, but between the lockdowns and some misleading reports, panic has unfortunately set in at the park.

While many theories have been reported, many are stating that it was in fact an electrical malfunction.
An employee of disney told me an elektric staircase malfunctioned and collapsed. The sound caused panic and security leaded us out of the village. #DisneylandParis #dlp

Thankfully, the Disney effect is well in place and since Cast Members have confirmed that this was a false alarm, guests are making light of the situation and enjoying it the best they can.

While military and police remain to keep the situation under control, guests are being instructed to follow Cast Members’ instructions until further notice and clearance. At time of publishing, the only injuries reported are minor and a result of crowding/crowd movement.
