An unfortunate accident at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California resulted in the death of veteran employee, Bonnye Mavis Lear. The 60-year-old fell from a moving golf cart backstage at the theme park on the morning of Wednesday, June 5, 2024 at approximately 11:30 am. Emergency services responded to the incident immediately.

Lear, a Fullerton resident, had been a part of the Disneyland team for 24 years. Most recently, she assisted with membership services at Club 33, a private dining club in the New Orleans Square section of the park. Club 33, founded in 1967, was inspired by executive VIP lounges at the 1964 New York World’s Fair and is located above the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

On the day of the accident, Lear was sitting in the rear-facing seat of the golf cart with three other passengers. The cart was traveling at around 20 mph when it hit an irregularity in the road. Lear attempted to hold onto the handrail, but it failed, causing her to be thrown from the vehicle. She suffered a fractured skull and brain swelling from the fall and was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition. Despite medical interventions, Lear succumbed to her injuries two days later.

Ken Potrock, Disneyland Resort President, expressed profound grief over Lear’s death, stating, “We are devastated by Bonnye’s passing and extend our deepest sympathies to all who knew her. Our priority now is to support her family and our staff during this difficult time, ensuring they have the necessary resources.”
