Protests and Heightened Security Continue After VP Vance’s Family Visit to Disneyland

Protester gatherings, local political criticism of immigration policy, along with a lack of announced official engagements, defined the vice president’s weekend at the park.

Overview

  • Temporary flight restrictions, heavy law enforcement deployments and K9 sweeps led to increased bag checks and occasional ride closures across the Disneyland Resort.
  • Around 100 to 150 demonstrators rallied outside the park entrance and the Grand Californian Hotel to protest the administration’s immigration enforcement.
  • Governor Gavin Newsom publicly rebuked the vice president’s visit on social media, accusing the administration’s policies of tearing families apart.
  • Disneyland officials reiterated that no individual guest plans would be confirmed and noted that no public events or fundraisers were scheduled during the visit.
  • Vice President Vance thanked supporters in a social media post and his office has not announced any official business tied to the Disneyland weekend.
