Monorail Breaks Down, Guests Stuck for Hours:
In case you missed the big news yesterday, a Walt Disney World monorail broke down between stops at the Magic Kingdom and Disney's Contemporary Resort. The train broke down due to mechanical issues around 5 p.m. ET.
Guests were stranded for hours and took the Reedy Creek Fire Rescue around two hours to fully evacuate the dozens of passengers. Everyone was safely evacuated via a scissor lift with no injuries reported. Passengers had tweeted that they had been stuck on the broken down monorail for hours.
