I got caught in the middle of the protests 😁😁

Yea we came from Fullerton and took harbor but were re routed unfortunately I knowing the area found ball and harbor and ended up stuck in the middle....I've never seen police hanging off of pick up trucks and non marked SUVs while horses were galloping down ball and helicopters were hovering right above.....pretty chaotic.....I'm resting now at paradise pier bandstand with a cocktail now 😂 - Dave  8824.1 #2 3:41PM
Glad your safe and can now enjoy your cocktail!!! : ) - NurseJennJillO  307.7 #586 3:51PM
Lol the cocktail sounds necessary! Glad you are safe, hopefully getting out of the parks will be less eventful for you! - ashmonster  31.7 #4381 4:25PM
OMG that is scary!! They all look like a bunch of militia or something, with their faces all covered up. Please be careful Dave and everyone at or near the parks. - DisneyFanZoe  1099.6 #75 3:04PM
Dave maybe when the crowd get to the resort. u should  join the crowd and hold a sign with your Banana suit on that says I love Disneyland. Jk Dave Please Be Safe out there And also everyone else on there way to the park. - DarkwingDuck  258.0 #943 3:31PM
I think its safe to use another route to get to the m&f parking structure. This situation is very volatile I would hate to see any one hurt over this nonsense. Please be careful out there. - vincentchase  645.9 #172 3:34PM
It looked like half the people had cameras, so I assume that they were there taking pics of the protestors, which is just playing into their hand and giving them the attention they want.   Sad. - msdizmaui  521.5 #226 3:38PM
The sad part is...most of those people dont know why their protesting....they just joined in.. - Jfigg23  254.7 #990 4:28PM
There is a good chance that they partly have cameras to video tape the cops. They want someone to get out of hand so the can tape the cops using force then claim they did nothing to deserve such force. Those who protest peaceful because they actually care are on thing but I have a feeling that most of them just want to cause trouble. - aidensmama  339.4 #446 5:07PM
To me this seems like a waste of energy. There are so many bigger fish to fry in the world. Glad you're safe Dave. Looks like I'll be rethinking visiting later this week unless things calm down - ladylikesdisney  926.7 #96 3:55PM
Once you get into the parks it's fine, just avoid the downtown Anaheim area (harbor and Anaheim blvd's) but I completely agree these people are idiots regardless of the situation that sparked it. Their behavior has made me not care what their position is anymore. - Pixarprincess  531.5 #219 3:59PM
You're right, but it's the coming and going that worries me, these protests never end peacefully and I don't want to be there when the poop hits the fan. There's lots of other things for me to do around here :) - ladylikesdisney  926.7 #96 4:03PM
Love the f bomb drop. lol. Be safe out there brother. - Chumash28  767.1 #130 4:25PM
Yikes - Dizkid  284.3 #724 3:02PM
Ya, wearing the banana suit is definitely not a good idea in this situation. Get outta there! lol - Alicewhoareyou  543.9 #213 3:05PM
If they're only in that area of Anaheim, the Toy Story Lot may be safer and easier to park in - BaseballMickey_CM  2993.9 #15 3:06PM
Please stay safe, Dave. - flukefan  266.4 #880 3:07PM
Just tell them you're looking for a place to park and unload your signs to join their cause, then GET OUTTA THERE! - susieQzee  486.8 #250 3:07PM
OmGosh Dave! That is so scary! That was hard watching that video! Glad your ok! - ohhhtoodles  365.2 #396 3:07PM
That is so disheartening. I truly hope no one is hurt and nothing is damaged. Please be careful out there! - LaPearleNoir  620.9 #179 3:11PM
What the heck? What could they be protesting near DL?? - Simbaholic  30.4 #4433 3:13PM
search lostgirl7988's post... - Alicewhoareyou  543.9 #213 3:14PM
Look up KTLA news and then you'll know why they're protesting. It's kinda crazy! - NurseJennJillO  307.7 #586 3:50PM
Be safe Dave!! - catiem_CM  311.1 #569 3:16PM
Scary! Stay safe and get out of there - sunshinegrl  192.8 #1754 3:17PM
stay safe - Authayma  86.7 #3238 3:20PM
Please be safe.  News is estimating several hundred people are marching!  No Ace of Base and definitely No Calling Maybe please!! - Willierose  1238.7 #67 3:23PM
I'm starting to rethink driving there today! 😡😡😡 - caramiapoohAKAface  1526.8 #53 3:24PM
Thank you for posting this, we were literally stepping out the door to head over to the parks. Will have to make new plans, there is no way I am going to risk our safety. This is incredibly frustrating, these protests don't even have a valid point. All they are accomplishing is making Anaheim dangerous, which is just what they are protesting aren't they? Protesting the supposed "violence" from cops? How is vandalizing buildings and making people fearful supporting your message?! Sorry. Was not meant to turn into a rant. Please be safe MW Family, this is getting ridiculous. - ashmonster  31.7 #4381 3:29PM
Just go to Toy Story lot instead. You shouldn't have to make new plans today. - Alicewhoareyou  543.9 #213 3:32PM
^this - BaseballMickey_CM  2993.9 #15 3:33PM
Amen! - NurseJennJillO  307.7 #586 3:51PM
Thanks guys. Ended up staying home and watching some Olympics! We'll brave it tomorrow :) - ashmonster  31.7 #4381 4:20PM
So scary please be careful! - Missymoo  426.6 #302 3:31PM
How scary. These protests are keeping me from going to Disneyland. :( - Amy23  273.5 #814 3:32PM
Its not gona stop me. :) were texans. We know how,to handle protestors...:) (puts on aviator sunglasses, cowboy hat, and.takes a bite of a churro...) - Jfigg23  254.7 #990 4:30PM
That's partly what they want. Disneyland is Anaheim's biggest source of revenue (I would guess). They want to get the city officials attention. - aidensmama  339.4 #446 5:10PM
Wow that's pretty scary to be in that situation - SorcererD91  506.0 #235 3:32PM
What are they protesting - Singernicky  49.6 #3824 3:40PM
The rising cost of milk. - DisneyFanZoe  1099.6 #75 3:50PM
😂😂😂😂 - toph  2406.7 #26 5:48PM
Wait a minute that's the road I take to Disneyland... Down harbor from Fullerton area all the way to Ball Rd. I don't know any other way! - Jenniferr  428.1 #298 3:53PM
If you are planning on going today either take the 91 to the 5 south to head in or take Euclid to ball (east on ball) instead. Should allow you to bypass all the craziness - Pixarprincess  531.5 #219 3:57PM
I avoided Ball and Harbor. Came down the 57, exited Katella, right on Disneyland drive, uturn into the structure. Didn't see any protestors or police at all. - Mimmy  1405.6 #57 4:02PM
When on it, had no issues. It's clear. - Singernicky  49.6 #3824 5:11PM
Oh man this was legit, I was expecting to see something funny. Such a shame they feel the need to do it front of parks. - donnievegas  1127.7 #72 5:17PM
Where's the Ace of Base bro?😜 - Mouse4life  1086.2 #78 5:17PM
I can hear the video but cant see it. Sure sounded scary. We are going tomorrow night for the woc glow with the show event. Kinda nervous. - chipanddalefan  530.1 #221 5:18PM
You would think they could give our National Guard a little work to do and arrest these idiots for "unlawful obstruction of traffic" at least.. add some jay-walking charges, endangerment of the public and conspiracy charges... all could stick. - TheBudd  357.3 #406 5:21PM
Wow, that's crazy Dave. I had no idea it was like that with everyone just walking down the middle of the street like that. - Tom  4013.8 #7 5:26PM
