Park visitor Allen Wolf says he was
about 20 feet from the blast, near Toontown’s City Hall. He said the
sound was similar to a gunshot, but louder.
Wolf says the park’s music never stopped playing as security surrounded the trash cans where the bang came from and told visitors they were evacuating.
Disneyland officials did not immediately reply to a message seeking comment.
Wolf also tweeted a picture of people leaving Toontown:
