A bomb threat, a locked-down cruise terminal, and thousands of Disney Cruise Line guests left waiting; here’s what unfolded.
Guests sailing aboard the Disney Wonder faced an unexpected and tense delay on March 30, 2026, after a bomb threat triggered a full lockdown at the Port of San Diego. With passengers unable to disembark and authorities sweeping the terminal with K-9 units, the situation quickly drew attention. Here’s what we know about the incident, how it impacted guests, and what happened once the all-clear was finally given.
Passengers aboard the Disney Wonder experienced an unexpected delay on March 30, 2026, after a bomb threat triggered a temporary lockdown at the Port of San Diego.
According to local reports, the incident began around 7 a.m. at the B Street Cruise Terminal, where an employee received what authorities described as an “unspecified bomb threat.” Harbor Police immediately locked down the terminal and deployed officers along with explosive detection K-9 units to investigate.
During the lockdown, guests aboard the Disney Wonder were unable to disembark as scheduled. Passengers remained onboard with luggage in hand while authorities conducted a full security sweep of the terminal.
Roughly two hours later, officials declared the terminal safe, and normal operations resumed. Guests were then allowed to disembark, with only minor delays reported and no injuries or threats ultimately confirmed.
The Disney Wonder had just returned from a short sailing to Ensenada and was scheduled to depart again later that day. Despite the disruption, the ship’s operations continued with minimal impact beyond the delayed debarkation.
Authorities have not released further details regarding the source of the threat, and the investigation remains ongoing.
