Arriving Sunday Dec 10 - Air Quality & Wildfires?

[DaxMax]

Hello,

We're arriving on Sunday and I'm concerned about the wildfires in So Cal. How's the air quality at the park? Were there delays coming from LAX? Any info from someone in the anaheim area would be great.

Thanks!

We were there back in fall when the fires were going, but weren't as insane as they were now. I was fine that week, BUT, also lived through the fires in Vancouver which triggered an asthma attack that I didn't even KNOW I had. If anyone in your group is sensitive, check out the drug store for some masks (and make sure they're the ones that block pollution/irritants) and don't be self conscious about wearing them if you think it's bad. Worth it to download an air quality app too! Many people don't realize/know/think that it's so bad for them to be breathing in!

Sorry I don't have any current info for you though! Hope you enjoy your trip!!

I am not currently in Anaheim but am familiar with the area. My family and I will be taking the train up from San Diego to Universal Studios tomorrow morning and then will be in Anaheim tomorrow night through Tuesday. The LA area fires are north and west of LAX and the Santa Ana winds are coming from the east. There should not be any significant travel delays at LAX because the wind is moving the smoke away from that area, but check with your airline and the LAX website.

The fires are a significant distance from Disneyland and, again, located north and west. The winds are supposed to start to die down in the LA and OC area tonight. Light offshore winds may take the place of the Santa Anas and move smoke back inland, worsening the air quality in Los Angeles. But the inland Orange County area’s air quality should be fine, especially by Sunday.

I was at the parks today. No smoke smell, couldn't see smoke in the sky. It was quite warm today. Have a great trip!
