A park wide electrical outage was responsible for a rough start this morning (05.11.2022) at Disneyland Paris. Many attractions opened later than expected and the credit card system could not be rebooted. Shops and restaurants operated on a cash only basis resulting in long lines at the parks few ATM’s. Annual Pass holder discounts were also unavailable. Park goers also had trouble getting into the parks as tickets could not be scanned.

[#disneylandparis] Direct live, une nouvelle coupure de courant sème le chaos ce matin. Les pass ne peuvent pas être scannés et impossible de payer par carte bancaire. Une queue impressionnante est en cours aux distributeurs. #disney pic.twitter.com/BcAYxBfJdD

We are working hard to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. We wish you a magical day at Disneyland Paris”.
