Currently, in downtown Los Angeles, California, demonstrators are protesting in the streets due to immigration policies and ICE raids.

With protests occurring in L.A., many guests are concerned about how this will impact their safety while visiting Disneyland Resort.

According to CBS News, currently, protests are taking place in downtown Los Angeles, specifically in Los Angeles County. While Disneyland is located in Orange County, adjacent to Los Angeles County, there is a considerable distance between Disneyland and the protests. Many of the demonstrations are outside the Los Angeles Police Department Metro Detention Center, which is approximately 26.3 miles away from Disneyland, making it a 45-minute drive from the area.

Sections of the 101 Freeway are currently being blocked off by protesters, which could affect the drive for people traveling from that direction. A majority of the road closures were reported on Sunday night, and it appears that most have been cleared; however, guests traveling in that direction will want to keep an eye on road closures.

For guests flying into John Wayne Airport in Orange County, the traffic is approximately 30 minutes from Disneyland, which is average. From Los Angeles International Airport, it’s currently about one hour away.

There is a National Guard presence in Compton, about 20 miles away from Disneyland. Most National Guard presence is within downtown Los Angeleles, about 27 miles away from the park.

Right now, it does not appear that Disneyland or any surrounding areas have been affected by the protests. The park remains open with its regular operating hours, and no notifications have been posted on websites or sent to guests.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on this to monitor its progress and its impact on Disneyland Resort.
