I drove down Ball Road about 15 min. ago, for some reason the entry roads onto Disneyland Drive have been blocked off, and all vehicles were required to make an illegal U-Turn onto the elevated roadway to the parking structure. The traffic was horrible, the intersection of Disneyland Drive and Ball was completely congested, Anaheim P.D. needs to be out there directing traffic.
So if you are heading to Disneyland today, beware, the place is so packed even the roads getting into the park are congested. I drove by Knotts Berry Farm earlier today on Beach Blvd, that place was also at capacity.

There were two major accidents at the intersection of Disney Drive and Magic Way early this morning. An LAPD officer was seriously hurt in one of them, and the roads are still closed for the investigation.

A person was killed on a motorcycle this morning at Disneyland Dr. and Magic way. And then a LAPD officer on his way to work was hit in the intersection and the SUV that hit him then crashed into a light pole at that intersection.

Here is a link to the local CBS affilliate which has video: http://cbs2.com/local/local_story_167115233.html

It's a mess down there, I guess I am taking the OCTA bus to Disneyland, I will post something creative when I get back from the park.

Hello. I tried to enter into the Mickey and Friends Parking structure this morning (Friday 6/16) at about 8:00 this morning, to find the Ball Road intrance blocked off. I was told at the entrance to Timon that it was due to a Police investigation. Anyone know what was going on?

I was at Disneyland all afternoon, Disneyland Drive reopened about 1pm to traffic, all you can see is some crime scene tape left and where the accident happened at in the middle of the intersection. See photos #1 and #2.

All evidence of the accident was cleaned up by 1pm, see photos #1 and #2, all the remains is crime scene tape and marks on the pavement where the accident was at.

I also know that there were a lot of middle school field trips to both Disneyland and Knotts yesterday.
