ANAHEIM, CA - With holidays still in full swing, thousands of California residents and visitors headed to the happiest place on earth Friday, but many were turned away. There was no more room in the House of Mouse, Disneyland Resort reported on Twitter.

"Visiting the Disneyland Resort during the holidays is a tradition for many people and on high demand days like today, we do all we can to welcome as many guests as possible," a Disneyland spokesperson told Patch. If you purchased a park hopper ticket and were unable to use it, resort staff said those tickets would most likely be usable before the day was over.

At 11:30 a.m. the packed park stopped selling tickets until further notice, a resort spokesperson said. Tickets to Disney California Adventure remained available, at least, for the time being.
