Disney Restores Magic Kingdom Monorail After Electrical Fire as Cast Members Recommend Boats

Overview

• An electrical fire on Monorail Silver near Disney’s Grand Floridian on November 23 prompted a full shutdown of the loop and an emergency response.
• Resort Monorail service was restored later that day, but operations have featured intermittent pauses and slower-than-normal runs during cautious checks.
• Cast Members are directing guests to boats as the more reliable option for now, creating longer queues at ferry and resort launch docks.
• At least one train, Monorail Red, was observed running at an unusually slow speed during the system’s post-incident operations.
• Disney has not said whether the recent hiccups are tied to the fire, and guests are being advised to allow extra travel time and verify current transport status.
