Rain and lightning hitting Southern California on Wednesday forcing closures to several outdoor rides at Disney’s Califonia Adventure, park officials said.
According to Anaheim Public Utilities, the weather caused a circuit to trip knocking out power for a few seconds at around 3:48 p.m.
Officials said that it is regular protocol for some outdoor rides to go down due to weather.
In addition, park officials said Disney’s California Adventure experienced a power outage that also affected rides at the park neighboring Disneyland. Power had been restored to California Adventure, according to Disneyland media relations personnel.
Disney Parks has released Concha Mexican Sweet Bread Minnie Ears and you’re definitely going to want a bite of these!
The headbands will set you back $27.99 and can be found at the Mexico pavilion in Epcot, near The Grand Fiesta Tour featuring the Three Caballeros, and across stores in both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort.
The bow is inspired, designed and colored after the Mexican traditional textiles stripes (zarape) and covered with clear flat sequins that add more brillo!
The ears are a mix of soft suede and puff paint, in an iconic shell-like design to add a crackle texture that perfectly resembles the crunchy topping of the bread. The headband itself is covered with a satin fabric and inner soft velvet lining.
These beautiful ears were designed to represent the very popular Mexican sweet bread (pan dulce) with a crunchy topping, usually made with sugar, butter, and flour. The topping cracks during the baking process, giving the sweet treat a shell-like appearance. This pan dulce is perfect for breakfast (with a nice cup of café!) or during the merienda (afternoon snack).

“Toy Story 4” hits theaters in just over a month and today Disney Parks announced the release of a new MagicBand inspired by the adorable disposable spork, from the film, named “Forky”.
The new Limited Edition MagicBand has an edition size of 3500 and retails for $34.99.
The new merch doesn’t end with the MagicBand. There is plenty more Forky inspired merchandise now available at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort, including a special plush, apparel and more (none of which is disposable)!
FORKY (voiced by Tony Hale) is not a toy! At least that’s what he thinks. An actual spork-turned-craft-project, Forky is pretty sure that he doesn’t belong in Bonnie’s room. Unfortunately, every time he tries to get away, someone yanks him back into an adventure he’d rather skip.
For Disneyland, merchandise can be found in Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure park and World of Disney at Downtown Disney District. For Walt Disney World, merchandise can be found in Beverly Sunset Boutique or Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and World of Disney at Disney Springs.
Look out for Forky in Disney·Pixar’s “Toy Story 4” in theaters on June 21, 2019.

A man jumped off Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to retrieve his phone, ruining the rest of the ride for all of the other passengers.
The video was posted back in January 2018, but the story has really started picking up steam this week online with news outlets across the internet reacting the incident.
As the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad ride climbed to a big drop, the man jumped out of his carriage to ‘retrieve his phone’ as you can see in the video below.
A father filming the roller coaster captured the moment the other passenger stepped out of the ride to retrieve the ‘shattered’ phone.
The ride was stopped completely as an announcer said there were “technical difficulties.” They even made everyone in line get out and told them to comeback at a later time.
