Editor’s Note: As of about 8:15PM this evening, Peoplemover appears to be operational again. The My Disney Experience app is showing a wait time, a change from its earlier designation that the attraction was “temporarily closed.”
While Walt Disney World might be the Most Magical Place on Earth, problems definitely make their way into the parks!

And, since the Magic Kingdom has been particularly busy this holiday season, the attractions have been seeing LOTS of guests. So, it comes with little surprise that at least one of the rides is seeing a few issues already at the start of the new year!
PeopleMover temporarily closed due to “technical difficulties,” along with the neighboring Astro Orbiter as an additional precaution.

While Florida firefighters were on the scene to ensure everyone’s safety…

…Cast Members and technicians were already on the job to help fix the attraction! We spotted them working on the ride’s rampway, which looks as if it’s been covered in fire retardant at the moment.

We’ll keep you updated with any more information we learn about PeopleMover’s technical difficulties.
