Dusty Sage of Micechat originally reported:

Security is swarming the Golden Horseshoe at Disneyland where some sort of incident is underway involving a guest.  A cast member who fled the scene explains that a guest brought a weapon (not believed to be a gun) into the establishment and began threatening staff. 

The guest then tried to barricade an employee exit at the back of the facility.

We don’t know if the incident has been resolved and are awaiting additional information from cast and Disneyland spokespeople.

An additional update stated:

 We heard from a spokesperson at Disney saying they are unaware of an armed incident.  However, we are still hearing from cast who say that it was more than just a belligerent guest.  We are awaiting additional information. 

A final update stated:

UPDATE:  Situation resolved.  

We previously wrote that there had been some sort of incident at the Holden Horseshoe in which cast believed a guest brought a weapon (not believed to be a gun) into the establishment and began threatening staff. 

We have since heard from a Disneyland spokesperson that there was a belligerent guest situation but no weapon was believed to have been involved and that the management of the establishment was able to successfully resolve the situation. 

There’s are still some rattled cast, but we don’t believe the situation ever posed any danger to guests of the Golden Horseshoe.  

We’re thankful this wasn’t as serious as it first seemed.
