Disneyland guests were left scrambling Tuesday after a citywide water pressure outage forced the temporary closure of restrooms and restaurants across the park.
Citywide Outage
The outage in Anaheim, California, also impacted nearby businesses and Angel Stadium starting around 6 p.m. PDT on Tuesday. A Disneyland official confirmed that the outage temporarily impacted operations throughout the resort, adding that the team remained flexible and quickly worked to take care of its guests.
City officials reported technical issues with drawing water from several groundwater wells, according to Anaheim officials. Roughly 75% of the city’s water comes from groundwater wells, while the other 25% comes from the Colorado River. Four groundwater wells were impacted, several outlets reported.
An official with the City of Anaheim told Fox News Digital the issue was resolved around 8 p.m. local time Tuesday. There is currently ‘no ongoing concern,’ the spokesperson said.
As access to restrooms during the outage was blocked, some guests said they were caught off guard. A Disneyland guest named Tiffany Christensen told local outlet KTLA that she was barred from entering several of the park’s bathrooms.
‘Most guests understood it was out of Disney’s hands, while others were upset [over] the inconvenience,’ said Christensen. ‘It was a little chaotic, but they handled it the best they could,’ she added.
