PHOTOS and VIDEO: Monorail Evacuated in Disney World

A MAJOR Disney transportation option is currently unavailable.

Grand Floridian Monorail Station

While at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Monorail Station today to head on over to Magic Kingdom, we were evacuated from the platform as BOTH monorail lines went down. Here’s what we know.

The resort loop monorail arrived at the station just like it usually does. We waited for some time, but guests were never invited to board.

Monorail Down

Instead, a Cast Member came down the line to tell us that the monorail would be unavailable at this time and that we would be evacuated from the station and directed to alternate transportation.

Monorail Closed

From there, Cast Members evacuated everyone from the platform.

Once outside, we noticed that the express monorail had stopped at the station too and Cast Members were informing guests that all monorail lines were currently unavailable.

Monorail Closed

We’re not sure the reason for the closure. Cast Members were citing “technical difficulties.” 

Monorail Closed

Though the monorails were still stopped when we left Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, we did notice an empty express monorail pass us a few minutes later at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

 

We’ll be keeping a close eye on this situation and we’ll be sure to bring you updates as we have them. Stay tuned!
