While Disneyland is known as “The Happiest Place on Earth,” this was not so true earlier Tuesday evening. A system error resulted in ticket scanners not working at the entrance of both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. This issue left hundreds of Guests stuck outside the gates of the Disneyland Resort in California.
Several Guests shared photos and videos of the incident online, some of which are linked down below:

As you can see, there were huge crowds forming at the gates of Disneyland, with no word on when this issue would be fixed or what caused it to begin with. Guests hoping to hop into either one of the two Parks at Disneyland were out of luck.
The computers are down at the main gate for both parks. Bring patience if you’re on the way to Disneyland right now. No one is going in at the moment. #disneyland #DisneylandResort #Disney100#happiestplaceonearth

The Disney Parks are busy, both on the West Coast and East Coast. Both Walt Disney World and Disneyland have brand-new additions that Guests are loving. At the Magic Kingdom, TRON Lightcycle/Run just opened in Tomorrowland and offers Guests the chance to step into “The Grid.” This week marked the return of Annual Passes at Walt Disney World. That’s right, Guests are finally able to purchase Annual Passes once again to “The Most Magical Place on Earth.”
Over at Disneyland, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway just opened at the renovated Mickey’s Toontown area. Guests have also been loving this incredible trackless dark ride, which first opened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
2023 is a great year to visit either of the Disney Resorts, as The Walt Disney Company is currently celebrating 100 years of magic. This milestone will bring in several new limited-edition experiences across each Resort.
