Pirates of the Caribbean, one of Disneyland’s most iconic attractions, has suddenly been erased from the park, confusing hundreds of guests.

When preparing to visit Disneyland Resort, guests have their own must-do list, from eating some of the iconic Mickey Mouse-shaped snacks to riding their favorite attraction, purchasing the latest piece of collectible merchandise, or taking a photo with their favorite Disney character.

Unfortunately, hundreds, if not thousands, of families were recently shocked to learn that Pirates of the Caribbean had been erased from Disneyland indefinitely.

When searching for the beloved attraction on the official Disneyland Resort website, the site shows a common but dreaded message featuring Stitch, which reads, “Someone Ate the Page! Or for some other reason, the page you’re looking for cannot be located.”

While this doesn’t directly affect theme park operations, thousands of families planning their first trip to Walt Disney’s original theme park and guests unfamiliar with the park could see their vacations affected by this technical issue.

As of the publication of this article, this issue had not been resolved. However, Disneyland officials and the IT team are undoubtedly working on resolving the technical difficulty and will update the website as soon as possible.

According to the Disneyland Resort app, the iconic Disneyland attraction was temporarily shut down earlier today but resumed operations soon after. Pirates of the Caribbean shut its gates in July for a previously unannounced ride refurbishment and reopened earlier this month.
