And while we’ve already told you about how you can ring in the New Year at “Mezzanotte at Topolino’s: An Italian Masquerade“, Disney has just released information about ANOTHER New Year’s dining celebration.
It appears there has been an accident on the brand-new Disney Skyliner System.

The “Twitterverse” is blowing up with the news that Disney World Skyliner gondolas are piled up at the Riviera Resort station, and that the entire Epcot to Caribbean Beach line is shut down. The Epcot to Caribbean Beach line has an optional stop at Riviera Resort.

Guests stuck on the Skyliner have reported being stuck for over an hour to an hour and a half. Thank you to DFB Follower @JamesBeats for the use of his photos.
My view of the current Disney #skyliner saga. Feel so bad for everyone on board and hopefully it’s moving again soon. pic.twitter.com/1wI8oWMSgp

People are tweeting that Disney has advised guests that are stuck to use their emergency kits under the seats — which contain water and cool packs.
Disney has now begun the process of evacuating the stuck gondolas, with help of fire trucks. Big thanks to DFB Follower @WaltyDis for the photos.

Disney confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel that there have been no reported injuries as a result of the incident.
UPDATE:
It seems as though at least part of the Skyliner lines are moving again.
We are now slowly moving back to the station at Boardwalk 3 hours into being stuck on Disney Skyliner. #disneyskyliner #disneyworld @WDWToday pic.twitter.com/bSGW16m3Ju

10-6-19 UPDATE:
Disney World has closed the Skyliner today. There is no word currently as to when they will reopen.
The cause of the collision is unknown, though speculation has been made both about a power failure and errors made in the systems that route the gondolas within the stations.
This is a developing story, but we will continue to update as we get more news.
