A fire alarm evacuation at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa in Disneyland Resort recently caught public attention after a TikTok user shared footage showing a unique scene, even Disney princesses joining guests outside during the emergency.
The video, captioned “POV: the fire alarm at the Grand Californian goes off And even the Disney princesses Evacuate,” quickly gained traction on social media. It depicts Princess Tiana, Ariel, and other beloved Disney princesses calmly standing with hotel guests outside the building as the evacuation unfolds.
A Magical Evacuation
Disney’s Grand Californian is a luxury hotel located within the Disneyland Resort, known for its distinctive Craftsman-style architecture and close proximity to the theme parks. The hotel is often staffed with Disney characters, including princesses who regularly greet guests and participate in meet-and-greets throughout the day.
While fire alarms and emergency evacuations are relatively rare occurrences at Disney properties, safety protocols are strictly enforced, and all guests and staff are expected to exit buildings immediately when alarms sound.
The TikTok video offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how Disney handles such situations. The presence of Disney princesses during the evacuation reflects the company’s commitment to maintaining guest experience and professionalism, even during unexpected events. Rather than retreating to private areas, the characters stayed with guests, helping to ease any anxiety and maintain a sense of calm.
Several commenters praised the princesses for their composure and kindness, noting that seeing them outside alongside other guests added a touch of magic to what could have been a stressful moment. Others expressed curiosity about how Disney trains its cast members, including performers, to manage emergencies while remaining in character.
