It’s unclear at this time what triggered the alarm or how severe any damage may be. On a Disney Passholder Facebook group, users are reporting that they smelled fire and saw smoke. There are other reports that the monorails were temporarily shut down.

Developing. We’ll post more details as they’re released.
