THE HAPPIEST place on Earth was also one of the darkest Wednesday, when a massive power outage struck Disneyland.

The lights were out in the Anaheim, Calif., theme park’s Toontown and Fantasylan­d sections, and about a dozen rides were affected, Disneyland spokeswoma­n Suzi Brown said.

A transforme­r problem caused the outage, the spokeswoma­n said, adding that people were being escorted off rides.

Social media users began posting about the outage around 11 a.m., and photos showed people waiting in long lines at the park.

“All of Toontown and parts of Fantasylan­d are affected by the outage,” Twitter user Sarah Mansoor wrote.

The power was eventually restored in those areas, Brown said.

By the late afternoon, the problem that caused the miniblacko­ut was resolved.
