On Tuesday, June 10, the Walt Disney World Monorail experienced a technical issue that shut down much of the system. Would-be riders were left stranded at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom Park until alternate transportation arrived.
Walt Disney loved the concept of the Monorail as the future of transportation across the United States. That idea never took off, but the Disney parks paid tribute to Walt’s dreams with Monorail systems at Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort, and Tokyo Disney Resort.
Walt Disney World Resort’s Monorail serves three distinct lines: the Express Monorail between The Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) and Magic Kingdom Park; the Disney Resort Monorail that stops at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Magic Kingdom Park, and the TTC; and the EPCOT line, which takes guests between the TTC and EPCOT. Riders on either Magic Kingdom Monorail line must transfer at the TTC to travel to EPCOT.
On Tuesday, June 10, an unspecified technical or weather issue abruptly halted Monorail service at Walt Disney World Resort. Redditor u/GalaxyC7 asked fellow Disney Parks fans whether they should use the futuristic train system to travel from Disney’s Contemporary Resort to Magic Kingdom Park after seeing that the EPCOT line was down.
“I saw the Monorail from EPCOT to MK was down, are they all down today or is it just the one?” the Disney Park guest asked. “We went and parked at Comtempo, hoping to not have to walk over to MK but if we do no big deal.”
It’s about a ten-minute walk from Disney’s Contemporary Resort to Magic Kingdom Park, but the guest hoped to avoid the journey in the Central Florida summer heat.
“This heat might make it more trouble than it’s worth,” they added.
At least part of the Monorail system was open at the time of this article’s publication. X (formerly Twitter) user @akademanda shared a video of Monorail Coral leaking during a heavy rainstorm on Tuesday afternoon:

Walt Disney World Resort didn’t issue a public statement about the alleged Monorail issues on Tuesday.
