Pictures: ‘Great’ earthquake strikes Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea stranding thousands of guests

Early this morning a “great” earthquake struck Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea theme parks with an 8.8 magnitude, stranding tens of thousands of guests at the resort. From Main Street to Tomorrowland, guests are lining the park streets, waiting further instructions on how and when they can go home.

Details of damage are limited at this point but reports suggest that the Tokyo Disneyland parking structure has been flooded, as have parts of Tokyo DisneySea. More than 70,000 guests are reported to have no way of leaving, which are closed for the time being. Despite the widespread damage across Japan, no injuries have been reported at Tokyo Disneyland.

One guest at Tokyo Disneyland told an Examiner reporter, “We need the train to get back to the hotel. The train is down. We may have to stay at the resort.” She went on to elaborate, “We are stuck for a few days” at Tokyo Disneyland. She emphasized that all guests around her are safe with plenty of food and no crisis to be found.

Here is a sampling of images that have come in from Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea, from guests’ cameras as well as local news reports in Tokyo:
