Five Disneyland employees have been rushed to the hospital over a hazmat situation at the California theme park, according to the Anaheim Fire Department.
Crews arrived at after a group of employees reported an odor and minor symptoms at around 12:30pm local time, department spokesperson Matt Sutter told the Daily Mail.
The employees were in the backstage area of the Star Tours ride and said they were experiencing minor pain, shortness of breath and dizziness.
Building materials being used by a contractor backstage 'produced a reaction', including shortness of breath and dizziness, in employees, a Disney spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
Sutter said no guests were affected. All five employees were taken to a local hospital and others were treated by paramedics at the park, the spokesperson said.
Because of the emergency, nearby guests were cleared from nearby onstage areas.
Star Tours is a 3D motion simulator attraction at Disneyland that allows guests to go on various, ultra-realistic Star Wars adventures. It opened in May 2013.
The attraction is located in the Tomorrowland section of the park. Other rides in that area include Space Mountain, Astro Orbitor and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.

The news comes after a Las Vegas couple were toppled by a massive tree at Disneyland while trying to enjoy a romantic trip together.
LeWanda and Mark Joseph were sitting at a table outside the theme park's Plaza Inn restaurant at 11.40pm on February 17 when a strong gust of wind sent the tree tumbling.
The couple are Magic Keyholders at Disneyland and had traveled from Las Vegas for Sweethearts' Nite, an after-hours Valentine's themed event.
LeWanda and Joseph were instructed to sit at the table for a Lady and the Tramp photo opportunity and recreate the movie's iconic spaghetti scene, People reported.
'That was the one photo we really wanted to do,' LeWanda told the outlet.
'Like two seconds after my husband sat down, he heard the tree snap. I just felt it, and I screamed.'
Mark heard the snap behind him and saw the Ficus tree begin to waver, falling on top of his wife, he told KTLA.
He ran over to LeWanda to help her, lifting the branches off of her as staff rushed to assist.
