Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown said power has been restored
to all areas of the theme park. In a Twitter posting, Disneyland
said the park was fully open.
During the power outage, Disneyland had said that it was
accepting visitors only for re-entry.
An issue with a transformer that supplies power to the Toontown
and Fantasyland areas in the park caused the outage.
The theme park, which calls itself "The Happiest Place on
Earth," draws tens of thousands of visitors each day.
Popular rides including "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Finding
Nemo" were all affected, said Los Angeles resident Ashoka
Thiagarajan, who was visiting with his wife and two children.
"It's a huge disappointment. This is my mom's Christmas present
to all of us. This has been in the making since August," said
Thiagarajan, who was stuck inside "Pirates of the Caribbean" for
some 20 minutes.
Many visitors took to Twitter to complain and ask for refunds.
"How's Disneyland gonna have a power outage the day we paid $124
for peak day tickets?" one visitor tweeted.
The Disney California Adventure theme park was unaffected by the
outage, the park said in a tweet.
