Overview
- The incident occurred shortly before 9 a.m. near Disney’s Grand Floridian, with eyewitness photos showing black smoke between cars and a burning insulation odor.
- Disney shut down the entire monorail network, including the Express, Resort, and EPCOT lines, as responders addressed the stalled train.
- Firefighters and maintenance crews worked beneath Monorail Silver, and the train was later pushed back along the beam around 12:40 p.m.
- Guests were redirected to buses and watercraft with heavier demand reported, and the walking path between the Grand Floridian and Magic Kingdom was closed.
- It remains unconfirmed whether any passengers were aboard or if there were injuries, and officials have not detailed a cause or provided a reopening estimate.
