Central Plaza at Disneyland Park in Paris was fully evacuated and closed to guests on the morning of October 20, 2026. The trigger was a reported strong smell of gas in the area in front of the castle.

What is known

Firefighters attended the site while Cast Members managed crowds and redirected guests. The site DLP Works reported on the situation around midday local time. No injuries were reported. Central Plaza has since reopened, though the exact time it was released is not known.

Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland and Discoveryland remained open throughout. What was affected was the central hub between Main Street and the castle, through which the main paths to every land run, with the attendant rerouting for guests.


What is not confirmed

Care is needed here. It is not confirmed that there was in fact a gas leak. What is documented is the reported smell and the evacuation that followed. Disneyland Paris has issued no statement and has said nothing about the cause.

The information comes from an Instagram post by DLP Works with photos from another account, not from a press release. Anyone picking this up should say so and avoid wording that asserts a confirmed gas leak.
Which shows or programme items were affected is not documented. Since Central Plaza is regularly used for character meets and as a viewing area, some disruption that morning is likely but not established.
