Skies around Disneyland turn orange as Anaheim Hills fire rages
It's not looking like the happiest place on earth today.
As historic wildfires rage across the state of California, guests at Disneyland in Anaheim are some of the latest to experience a pre-Halloween fright.
14 fires in northern California laid waste to some 1,500 structures over Sunday and Monday while Santa Ana winds put much of southern California in critical danger. In Anaheim, entire neighborhoods were evacuated while smoke billowed near the famous resort.
Visitors have shared some of their photos of the smoky scene on social media.

To make matters even worse, guests report that ash is falling from the sky. That's right. Charred ash is quite literally going to rain on their afternoon parade.
Local news outlet KTLA reports that several freeways have been shut down in the area due to the fire, which comes just two weeks behind a massive 2,662-acre blaze in Coal Canyon.
