I can't believe this article was newsworthy in both the OC Register and Huffington Post!

I do hope this never happens to me though!

ANAHEIM — Firefighters responded Friday night to Disneyland, after 17 people were hit with fecal matter, authorities said.

The feces were apparently from geese flying over the park, according to the Anaheim Police Department.

The department said 11 adults and 6 juveniles were impacted. “No crime,” the department continued.

No one was injured or taken to a hospital.

The affected guests were allowed to wash up in a private restroom and were provided fresh clothing, Disneyland officials said. They then returned to the park.

“All guests are healthy and happy,” the department said in a tweet.

Flock Of Geese Poops On Disneyland Party
Hazmat crews attended the Magic Kingdom after 17 visitors were struck with fecal matter.

By Lee Moran


Geese dumped a very unmagical surprise on a group of Disneyland visitors on Friday.

Police say 17 people were struck with poop as a flock of the birds flew over the theme park in Anaheim, California, just before 9 p.m.

Hazmat crews attended an area near the Sleeping Beauty Castle following reports that 11 adults and six children had been “hit with fecal matter.”

It's official. The media has run out of real "news".

I heard this on the radio this morning. It must have been dramatic to have made the news. Trying to picture it in my head...

Well, goose poop is vile and abundant. It's very different from regular bird poop. It's green, runny, and smells terrible! I imagine a flock of geese letting loose over a crowded place like DL is a rare event.

The gulls at WDW are no better. I have a friend who has been hit in the MK and Epcot. I have no idea if it's rare in DLR but I think it's fairly common at WDW.

I have been hit by seagull poo as well. Gross, but no big deal. I also had a goose "drop" about 5 feet in front of where I was walking in a park one day and it was a RIDICULOUS amount of poo. If that had landed on me, I would probably have thrown up. It was like dog poo...

I'd probably have a pretty bad reaction to either.

Our daughter has been pooped on at WDW while walking in MK years ago. It happens all the time. We took her to the nearest restroom to wash it out of her clothes. Luckily it was just on her shoulder and part of her long hair. She was more embarassed than anything because other guests were laughing.

In 1984, I was at the San Diego Zoo when I encountered goose poop on the handrail of one of the outside escalators they have. Thirty-plus years on, I'm still traumatized by it.

Fec news ;-).

This event has just made the morning news in Australia.

I see what you did there. Hahahahahaha!!!

Got bird poop on my leg at WDW once. Thankfully it only hit a tiny part of my sock and nothing else.

It definitely would have been a "Crappy" start to any day let alone a day at Disney.

Personally, I'm thrilled that it made the news--better than some of the other news headlines of late!

 

[McNs]

News in New Zealand too

 

[felice]

The reports even made the BBC too, here in the UK. Must have been a slow news day ....

 

[Srbright]

I found this really funny. It really must have been a slow news day! I've been pooped on twice in the last two trips to Disneyland and it didn't make any headlines. Hahaha!

 

[marcyleecorgan]

Oh myyyyy I can't stop laughing. Goose poop is not as bad as actually being attacked by one. I'll take the poop over being chewed on by a bird with TEETH!
