Cast Members say the buses are faster than the ferryboat.

Guests can also walk through Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort to Magic Kingdom, although this would take quite a while.

The Monorail system went down at approximately 8:00 p.m. last night and Cast Members have only said there are technical difficulties. Some guests on social media said the system experienced a power outage, but these reports are unconfirmed. Cast Members are hoping it reopens tonight but can’t be sure.

At Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, a sign is up stating the Monorail is out of service. Guests can take a bus from this resort that stops at Grand Floridian, Magic Kingdom, Contemporary, and the Transportation and Ticket Center before returning to the Polynesian. To get to EPCOT, guests must go to the Transportation and Ticket Center and take a bus from there.
