Mother Nature had other plans for excited Disneyland goers on Friday night, unleashing a massive torrential downpour out of nowhere and forcing rides to shut down and fireworks to be canceled.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a flood advisory on Friday at 7.28 local time until 9.30 for Orange County, which includes Disneyland’s home of Anaheim, California.
The sudden rain stunned park goers, with many sharing images and videos of floods sweeping through the ‘Happiest Place on Earth’ as attendees fled in plastic ponchos.
The Disneylanders account posted shocking footage online of lightning and thunder rocking Tomorrowland before rain hammered down.
‘Tell me this wasn’t Mother Nature giving us a warning before Disneyland turned into a water park,’ Disney fans wrote.
They shared another video of Frontierland and Fantasyland flooded, with park goers rushing through standing water as the drains struggled to keep up.
‘I was there and it rained HARD for about 20 minutes. I wouldn’t blame it on the drains being clogged, maybe a little slow, but mostly overwhelmed. All the streets of Anaheim were flooded too,’ one commenter noted.
‘A flooded day at Disney is better than any sunny day anywhere else,’ a second joked.
