Video: Guest Shows Disney World Monorail Door Open While in Operation

WDW

Guests onboard Walt Disney World’s Monorail Red on Sunday got a bit of a surprise when the monorail left the station at the Transportation and Ticket Center on its way to Epcot with its doors still open.

Check out this video by a passenger on this slightly scary journey:

Each of the monorail cars comes equipped with door sensors that signal to the driver if any of the doors have not be shut completely before departure.  However, it would appear in this case that this system failed potentially putting passengers at risk.

Thankfully no one in this carriage was injured during the trip.

I need a drink. @disney, guys, you gotta get on this, what if somebody had fallen?

A post shared by abbieprimeknits (@abbieprimeknits) on

As an additional safety precaution, each of the monorail cars also has a phone available to alert Cast Members of any potential problems.  However, this is another system that doesn’t appear to have been operational during this particular journey.

Details are still trickling in regarding what could have caused this mishap. Readers are encouraged to keep following along with Chip and Co. for the latest updates.

The new Aladdin MagicBand is Shining Shimmering Splendid

Aladdin MagicBand

It’s a whole new world with this new Aladdin MagicBand, featuring one of the brilliant new base colors too! This gorgeous little band is a new limited release band for Valentine’s Day! It launched on January 8th along side the highly anticipated millennial pink MagicBand.

The new Aladdin MagicBand is Shining Shimmering Splendid

This new band is a fun twist on Valentine’s day because it’s not pink or red, which I really enjoy. The teal band says Happy Valentine’s Day on one side, and It’s a Whole New World With You, on the other. I love the sentiment of the quote on it, I feel it makes it a really sweet and romantic gift. The side has Aladdin and Jasmine soaring through a star studded sky on the Magic Carpet. This MagicBand has a limited release of 2,400, and can be found at select locations through out the Walt Disney World Resort.

What do you think of the Aladdin MagicBand for Valentine’s Day, instead of something pink and red?

Special Thanks to Center of Magic for the photos!

Casey’s Corner Hot Dog of the Month – Teriyaki Hot Diggity Dog!

Casey's Corner Hot Dog of the Month - Teriyaki Hot Diggity Dog!

Casey’s Corner has released its hot dog of the month- Teriyaki Hot Diggity Dog! It’s an all-beef hot dog topped with roasted pineapple and onions, teriyaki drizzle, and green onion served with french fries.

Casey's Corner Hot Dog of the Month - Teriyaki Hot Diggity Dog!

We were able to try the hot dog and here is what we thought of it: The sweetness of the pineapple offsets the saltiness of the teriyaki. Onions are not roasted but almost raw. The flavors complimented each other well!

Together Dolby Vision and Dolby TrueHD allow consumers to experience both cutting-edge imaging and lossless audio sound technology for an immersive entertainment experience.

Timed to the book’s sixth anniversary, and to Valentine’s Day, Wonder will be available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack, and DVD for the suggested retail price of $42.99, $39.99, and $29.95, respectively.
