Disneyland guests in Anaheim, California, were sent into a frenzy Tuesday after restaurants and restrooms were forced to close due to a water pressure issue affecting the city.
City officials told KTLA 5, ABC 7, and CBS LA that staff members at the park reported problems drawing from groundwater wells causing a drop in water pressure around 6 p.m. PT. Other establishments in the city stated that they had little to no water pressure available at the time.
Parkgoers visiting at the time of the water complication told KTLA that employees were standing outside of bathrooms to inform visitors that they are closed until further notice. Tiffany Christensen told the outlet she attempted to enter several bathrooms before realizing it was a city-wide issue, not just the park.
When bathrooms started to slowly reopen, long lines began to form across the park at the few that had opened.
One person on social media also claimed that the restaurants in “Downtown Disney,” a shopping district outside of the park, were being shut down as well.
“They were as helpful as the situation could allow,” Christensen said to KTLA. “Most guests understood it was out of Disney’s hands, while others were upset with the inconvenience. It was a little chaotic, but they handled it the best they could.”
Residents of Anaheim even reported water pressure issues beginning as early as 5 a.m. on Tuesday. City officials released the following statement when the drop in pressure was noticeable across Anaheim.
“We are offsetting the issue by using additional river water. Other wells across the city are not impacted. Those impacted should see improving water pressure over the next hour or so.”
By Tuesday night, KTLA reported that the problem was resolved and park operations returned to normal.

Just getting the park atmosphere ready for the “New York Subway in Summer” experience.
Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to buy bottled water
Like a third world country.
I blame Reagan.
The attendant was out front telling the Griswolds to come back another time — there was no water.
If the park had no restrooms open to the public, why was it allowed to stay open while that was the case?
Per AI sourced to Justia Law...
“No, an amusement park in California generally cannot legally remain fully open to the public if all of its public restrooms are closed. Under the California Building Standards Code and California Health and Safety Code, facilities where the public congregates—such as permanent amusement parks—must be equipped with and maintain sufficient functional restrooms to meet public needs during operational hours.”
Now THAT”S funneee!!!
water again
They ever hear of porta potties? A place like disney could probably have an order of a thousand of them in place with an hour’s notice.
At probably $10 for a small bottle.
The dot Indians had no problem.
