Unfortunately, Disney encounters technological issues. These range from a glitchy reservation system to a major power surge that closes attractions. In addition, theme park attractions lose power at times. Recently, power outages in Animal Kingdom caused delays.

In the summer, the monorail lost power and left Guests stranded inside in 95 degree weather. The orange line was affected leaving the Contemporary Resort and headed to the Magic Kingdom. Read about that HERE.

Also, multiple fire alarms went off a few months ago at the Polynesian and Hollywood Studios.
