Apparently they've got a rat problem at Disneyland. Not surprised. Guide 2, after a semi-exhaustive and Nightcap fueled Google search, appears to be the souvenir stand over on the west side of the train station, right next to the Guided Tour Gardens. Which must explain its rather utilitarian title of "Guide Two" as the location. But it's got rats running around, and bugs eating the candy for sale. You've been warned.


A Disneyland establishment closed on July 29 because of a major food safety violation: a rodent infestation.

The affected location was a retail shop, not a restaurant, the Orange County Register reported.


Inspectors found rodent droppings at the shop, identified only as Disneyland Guide 2, in a storage room, inside merchandise cardboard trays and in a sales area. The inspection also uncovered “debris and dead insects inside the candy display units on the front sales counter,” a report from the Orange County Health Care Agency states.

The inspector immediately closed the facility, instructing Disneyland employees to “remove all prepacked food items, including case lot beverages, with the exception of the glass door cooler that was sealed off at the time of this inspection.” The inspector also required Disneyland to seal several potential entry points for vermin before it could reopen.

Several other Disneyland restaurants were also inspected in July and early August, including the Blue Bayou, Red Rose Taverne, Stage Door Cafe and River Belle Terrace. These restaurants all passed their inspections, without the presence of vermin.

The shop remained closed until August 1, after a final entry point was sealed to the satisfaction of the inspectors. It was inspected again on August 8 to see if the vermin issue had persisted, and this time, the facility passed.
“No rodent activity was observed this date,” the August 8 report states. “Continue to maintain the facility free of vermin.”

I've seen rats outside of the City Hall restrooms. That is the same general area. There are large trash cans between that area and the Jungle Cruise. The rats probably come from the Jungle Cruise.
