"On Jan. 28, the infected person visited Goofy's Kitchen from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Downtown Disney, the shopping and restaurant district adjacent to the park, and then Disney California Adventure Park from 12:30 p.m. to closing, according to a news release from the Orange County Health Care Agency. The release did not say if the infected person visited the Disneyland Park."
"Because measles is highly contagious, it can spread quickly within communities, even among those who haven't traveled. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is to get vaccinated before exposure occurs. People who were at those locations have a risk of getting measles starting seven to 21 days after being exposed, according to the release."
"Disney officials do not release daily attendance figures but a longtime Walt Disney Engineering director revealed in 2019 that Disneyland attendance on a "normal day" was 65,000. The Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge expansion completed that year increased daily capacity to about 80,000, according to insiders. Daily attendance at Disney's California Adventure Park is 24,000"
Orange County Health Care Agency confirmed a measles case in an international traveler who arrived at LAX and later visited Downtown Disney's Goofy's Kitchen and Disney California Adventure on Jan. 28. The infected person visited Goofy's Kitchen mid-day and remained in Disney California Adventure from early afternoon to closing. People present at those locations face risk of measles seven to 21 days after exposure. Health officials advise anyone who visited the park during that time to check immunity and consult a healthcare provider about vaccination and immunity status. Vaccination is emphasized as the primary protection against measles.
