A Disneyland Resort Guest was caught vandalizing Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Disney Resorts all across the world are known for their friendly Cast Members who make magic that last a lifetime. But, unfortunately, some Guests find ways to try and ruin that magic.

The most prominent Disney Resorts include Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California and Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Walt Disney World Resort is home to four theme parks– Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom– while Disneyland Resort has two theme parks: Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.

Disneyland Park is the theme park that started it all, and Disney Park is best known for its iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle, as well as attractions like “it’s a small world,” Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, and Haunted Mansion.

But, that doesn’t mean that it’s the only Disney Park that draws in a crowd.

Disneyland Paris, located nearly 6,000 miles east, is also home to many of the same attractions, as well as Sleeping Beauty Castle.

In a viral video, one Disneyland Paris Guest was caught vandalizing Sleeping Beauty Castle.

This Disney Guest was not spreading magic throughout the Park, instead choosing to tag the popular tourist location.

The TikTok shows the Guests bringing a paint marker inside the Park and starting to write their tag on the Disney Castle.

Disney tries its best to keep the Parks clean for Guests to enjoy. Vandalizing Disney property is a direct violation of Resort rules and can be grounds for being trespassed.

Disneyland Resort has a list of items on its official website that are prohibited at Disney Parks. So far, paint or paint markers are allowed at Disney Parks after this accident, but Disney may change its policy on what markers are allowed inside the Parks. Guests heading to Disney typically bring markers or paint markers for Disney Characters to sign autograph books, hats, shirts, cups, Mickey Mouse ears, and much more.

Disneyland Cast Members work hard to keep Parks looking clean. As fans, let’s all help keep Disney Parks clean by not vandalizing them.

Major Power Outage @ Disneyland

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

Walking down Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland Park is a truly incredible experience — especially at night. The streetlights light your way as you gaze upon Sleeping Beauty Castle in all her glory. Unless you can’t see it because there is a power outage. While things like that don’t happen often, Guests on their way out of Disneyland had the lights go out on them. The outage left Sleeping Beauty Castle almost invisible in the dark.

TikTok user, TheJungleSkipper, and their friends recently visited Disneyland Resort. After a long day in the Parks, they were heading towards the gates. Suddenly, the lights around them went out and TheJungleSkipper was left stunned. He quickly whipped out his camera to film the unusual scene. As you can see in the video below, TheJungleSkipper was not the only one in his group stunned by what they were seeing.

Even though power outages are rare, they do happen. And when they do, Disney relies on their power generators. However, the generators can only go so far. As you can see in the video, some of the streetlights and store areas are lit. Sleeping Beauty Castle, on the other hand, is nearly impossible to see at the other end of Main Street.

At the time this video was taken, it appears as though the theme park is getting ready to close for the evening. There are almost no Guests walking down Main Street, except TheJungleSkipper and his friends. That means that the rides were probably all closed for the evening, so there was no worry about the outage causing Guests to become stranded.

If you are ever at a Disney Park and the power goes out, it is important to remain calm and listen to what the Cast Members have to say. During outages, and especially ones that happen at night, being careful is your number one priority. The Cast Members will instruct you on what to do and how best to keep you safe. Again, power outages are rare, but Disney Cast Members have been trained on what to do in these situations.

There was no word as to whether or not the outage affected Disney California Adventure Park. Typically California Adventure closes earlier than Disneyland, so it is possible that there were no Guests in DCA at the time of the outage.

Luckily, it looks like the outage was only a blip on the radar. All Disney attractions were back up and operational — except for those closed for scheduled maintenance. The last big power outage at Disney occurred over the last 4th of July weekend. Disneyland experienced another evening outage that shut down nearly half of the rides at the Resort.
