ANAHEIM, Calif. (WSVN/ CNN) — The happiest place on earth dealt with a partial power outage.
Crews worked to restore power to the packed California theme park, Wednesday afternoon. Officials confirmed that power has since been restored throughout the park in the evening.
The outage affected attractions inside two sections of Disneyland, Toontown and Fantasyland.

Guests were escorted off of those affected rides. The Monorail also lost power.
The outage happened as the park was near capacity for the day.
Officials said a blown transformer is reportedly the cause for the power outage.

Geoff Fienberg, who was on the “It’s a Small World” ride when the outage happened, told CNN it wasn’t much of an ordeal after the ride stopped.
“About 60%-70% of the way through the ride the power just went off,” he said. The guests sat “25 minutes in the dark” and were eventually escorted off.
He said everyone was “pretty calm” and there was no “danger” or “commotion.” The attraction is a boat ride in the Fantasyland area.
“It was just dark, music was still playing, so that will be in most of our heads probably for the following year.”
There were no injuries reported.
