A fire erupted at Anaheim’s Downtown Disney last night and was quickly shared on social media by numerous guests. The blaze appears to have been isolated to the construction site for the upcoming Splitsville Luxury Lanes bowling alley.
Just witness a fire at the old House of Blues in Downtown Disney. It got pretty big and they evacuated everyone. #DowntownDisney #DisneyFire #DowntownDisney

Eating dinner at a Downtown Disney restaurant. There’s a fire outside and the crew is handling it so well I’m pretty sure 90% of the restaurant has no idea. pic.twitter.com/DVRKmRmtvN
