Tokyo Disneyland Restaurant Evacuated After Smoke Seen Coming From Guest’s Bag

Police are investigating whether a portable mobile battery ignited, a finding that could prompt new rules for charging devices at crowded parks.

Overview

  • Guests were evacuated from China Voyager in Adventureland after smoke was seen coming from a visitor’s belongings and the dining area was cordoned off for safety checks.
  • Chiba Prefectural Police say they are investigating whether a portable mobile battery inside a guest’s bag may have ignited, but officials have not confirmed a cause.
  • Multiple emergency vehicles responded to the scene and staff moved diners outdoors while the restaurant was inspected by responders.
  • No injuries have been reported and Tokyo Disneyland remained open that day according to the park’s official schedule.
  • Portable chargers are widely used at the resort and the park offers battery rental stations, so investigators’ conclusions could affect rules for charging devices and how the park manages similar safety risks.
