A Disneyland employee faced a heartbreaking end after a tragic incident at the park. On Wednesday, local police and emergency responders were called to the scene backstage, where the employee fell from a moving golf cart and sustained severe head injuries. The Anaheim Police Department identified the employee as Bonnye Mavis Lear, a dedicated 24-year veteran of Disneyland. She was immediately taken to a local hospital in critical condition but sadly passed away two days later.
In the wake of this incident, Disneyland Resort’s President, Ken Potrock, expressed profound sorrow over the loss of such a cherished team member. “We are heartbroken by the loss of Bonnye and offer our sincere condolences to everyone who cared for her,” Potrock stated. He further assured that the focus remains on providing the necessary support to Lear’s family and coworkers during this difficult time.
Lear’s final role at Disneyland was within the famed private dining club, Club 33, where she was well-loved for her work in membership services. The extent of her kindness and dedication didn’t go unnoticed. Just Ask Danny, a prominent Disney theme park content creator, took to social media to mourn her death, remembering her as “quite literally the kindest human who worked at the Disneyland Resort.”
Sergeant Jon McClintock from the Anaheim Police Department described the incident as a “tragic accident,” indicating that while investigations continue, it appears there were no malintentions or foul play involved. This sentiment is echoed by the collective grieving of those who knew and loved Lear, underlining the deep sense of loss felt by the Disneyland community.
