ANAHEIM, Calif. -- A major power outage is affecting attractions in parts of Disneyland in Anaheim Wednesday, a busy time for the park during the holiday season.

A Disneyland spokesperson said power is down in Toontown and Fantasyland, and crews are working to restore it.

They added that guests are being escorted off "about a dozen" rides, including the popular Monorail.

According to Disneyland, select offerings have been restored in the Toontown and Fantasyland areas, but some areas remain without power.

A park spokesperson issued a statement, saying the outage stems 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.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of this station.
