The Pixar Pals parking structure will be reopening in several phases after operations were temporarily paused in some areas, according to Disneyland.
The fire had no impact on the rest of the resort with the exception of losing access to much of the parking structure for some time.
The cause of the fire was not immediately known. No injuries were reported.
The fire surely caused smoke that could have damaged other vehiles in the parking structure.

There are several reasons why a parked Toyota RAV4 might suddenly catch fire:
- Fuel Pump Issues: Some models have had recalls due to defective fuel pumps, which can potentially lead to fires.
- Battery Problems: In certain RAV4s, the battery can move during forceful turns, causing the positive terminal to contact the clamp and short circuit, which can result in a fire.
- Parasitic Battery Drain: A defect where the ECU constantly draws power from the battery, potentially leading to overheating and fires.
- Electrical System Failures: Faults in the electrical system, such as wiring issues or short circuits, can also cause fires.
