Disneyland guests<\/a> had nowhere to relieve themselves Tuesday as the Anaheim theme park shuttered bathrooms due to a water shortage in the area.<\/p>\n

The issue left guests loitering outside bathrooms in protest as park workers directed them away. Many locations within the Anaheim neighborhood, including Angel Stadium<\/a>, had little to no water pressure.<\/p>\n

Other areas, including parts of downtown Anaheim, State College Boulevard and surrounding the Anaheim resort area were also affected, officials said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Anaheim city officials said they were having \u201ctechnical issues\u201d drawing water from the city\u2019s groundwater wells. To counteract the shortage, officials say they are \u201cusing additional river water.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThose impacted should see improving water pressure over the next hour or so,\u201d officials said.<\/p>\n

Mike Lyster, who works for the city of Anaheim, told ABC7<\/a> that they stayed in contact with theme parks and Angel Stadium as well as residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were in direct contact with our counterparts at the stadium, as well as the theme parks, hotels, convention center, in addition to many direct contacts with residents,\u201d Lyster said.<\/p>\n

About 75% of Anaheim\u2019s water comes from groundwater wells and the other 25% comes from the Colorado River,<\/a> he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were unable to draw from those particular wells. Others were working fine, and we also utilized water from the Colorado River,\u201d Lyster said.<\/p>\n

Restaurants at Disneyland<\/a> were also closed for a time. Disneyland said the issue only temporarily impacted the park.<\/p>\n

But park guests didn\u2019t blame Disneyland for the outage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were as helpful as the situation could allow,\u201d park visitor\u00a0Tiffany Christensen told KTLA of the Disney employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost guests understood it was out of Disney\u2019s hands, while others were upset with the inconvenience. It was a little chaotic, but they handled it the best they could.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pressure issues were fixed by Tuesday night, and park operations returned to normal, according to KTLA.<\/p>\n
