Measles case at Disneyland confirmed as officials issue exposure warning: ‘May be at risk’

Orange County health officials confirmed a measles exposure at Disneyland this week — marking the second case in the state this year.

An international traveler arrived in Los Angeles this week and visited Disneyland, Disney’s California Adventure Park and at a restaurant at a Disney hotel in Anaheim on Wednesday, officials said.

Health officials warned of exposure at Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park from 12:30 p.m. until closing, CBS reported.

“People who were at these locations during the dates and times listed above may be at risk of developing measles from 7 to 21 days after exposure,” the Orange County Health Care Agency said in a statement.

Officials are now working with theme park management to identify any employees who may have been exposed, as well as coordinating with Los Angeles County and LAX authorities.

Measles symptoms can range from fever, cough, runny nose, and red eyes to a rash that typically begins on the face before spreading to the rest of the body.

The first 2026 case was reported Wednesday. Measles, a highly contagious viral infection, can be prevented with two doses of the MMR vaccine, according to health officials.
