By 4 p.m., the park said the power had been fully restored to all areas of the resort and the park would be fully operational within 30 minutes as attractions were brought back online.

When the outage first hit, guests were escorted off "about a dozen" rides, including the popular Monorail, during the outage.

A park spokesperson said the outage stemmed from a transformer problem.

"We've determined that the issue is with a Disneyland Resort transformer and our team is currently assessing and working to restore power," the statement read.

Officials did not provide details on estimated restoration time.

The outage happened as Disneyland was near capacity for the day.

Park officials said they were only accepting guests for re-entry at Disneyland, but Disney's California Adventure Park remained open for everyone.
