Disneyland downplays claim of a tree falling on visitors

Disneyland is pushing back against claims that a tree toppled onto two guests during a bout of rainy Southern California weather.

A large ficus tree fell onto the patio of the Plaza Inn, a restaurant inside the theme park, around 11:40 p.m. Tuesday, a spokesperson for the magical kingdom told NBC Los Angeles.

But the spokesperson said that no diners were seated on the patio at the time and that two guests suffered “minor grazes.”

It’s unclear how the duo suffered the scrapes.

A Nevada couple had claimed they were “hit” by a huge tree that snapped and crashed onto them during the wild, windy night in the park.

The couple — LeWanda and Mark Joseph — escaped serious injury, with LeWanda recalling the ordeal under a post on Facebook’s Disney Magic Key Holders group. 

“My husband and I were the ones hit — we had just sat down to take photos at the table when the tree snapped and fell,” LeWanda wrote.

The Post has reached out to Disneyland for comment.
