Several Disneyland rides were temporarily closed Thursday afternoon after reports of smoke in an area near the Pinocchio Daring Journey ride in the Fantasyland section of the theme park, according to fire department and park officials.

I saw this in The Register. One CM told a kid that the reason the ride was down was that Tinkerbell ran out of pixie dust and had to leave to get more. The kid's mom thought that was a sweet way of explaining it. Hope that CM got a nice note at Guest Services.
