food IS a theme park
As you may be aware, there was an incident on the Disney World Skyliner last night.

While Disney has not stated the cause of the issue, they have confirmed there have been no reported injuries due to the accident.
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

Thank you to @WaltyDis for sharing his evacuation photos! Looks like Guests are evacuating off the Skyliner, where they are greeted with dozens of Cast members there to assist as needed.

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.
We know it’s barely October, but Disneyland is already gearing up for the Holiday Season!
Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle
And a new (well, returning) Dining package is available at Disneyland to get you into the Holiday spirit!
Anna, Elsa, and Olaf have been sweeping the Disney Parks recently — first there was Arendelle Aqua and now there’s the Frozen Fan Fest! We are LOVING all of the super cute Frozen merch, and we spotted some of the cutest things yet!
Frozen Fan Fest
We know Queen Elsa told Princess Anna she can’t marry a man she just met that day and we totally agreed. But sorry Elsa, we just found these adorable charms and we’re already in LOVE! Maybe Anna had a point?
Sons and daughters of the Revolution, today we gather round the Liberty Tree with some very sad news.
The Town Crier
Today will mark the final performances of “The Muppets Present…Great Moments in American History.”
BONJOUR! We are having a blast eating our way through the 2019 Epcot International Food and Wine Festival.
2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival
We’ve been jammin’ out to the Eat the Beat Concerts, spending too much $$$ on adorable souvenirs, and of course, eating our way around the 30+ Festival Kiosks. Thank goodness the festival is a record-breaking 87 days this year — there is so much to do! Including a recent return visit to one of our favorite Festival Special Events: the Parisian Breakfast.
It’s one of DFB’s favorite times of the year in Walt Disney World — greetings from the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival!
Hello, Food and Wine Festival!
We adore sampling our way around the booths, jamming out to the Eat to the Beat Concerts, and attending special events and seminars! And that last one is what we’re talking about today — we recently attended one of our favorite Low Cost Seminars and are excited to share photos and a review with you. Are you ready to Mix It, Make It, and Celebrate It?
AHOY THERE MATEYS! Are you ready to set sail on the Seven Seas Lagoon on the hunt for treasure?! (Er, fireworks.)
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Then come along with us as we present to you, our review of the Pirates and Pals Fireworks Dessert Voyage at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Yo-ho, yo-ho a pirate’s life for us!
Jambo! Recently, we were at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and had a hankering for a nice and unique lunch. Having not been to Tiffins in a while, it seemed like the perfect choice.
Tiffins
Tiffins is the only signature restaurant in the park and features African and Indian inspired dishes. In the past, we have really enjoyed our meals here, but they have updated the menu since our previous reviewed visit and we were excited to check out both some old favorites and new choices.
, and we haven’t seen a peep out of there… UNTIL NOW.
Keystone Clothiers Entrance
Keystone Clothiers opened bright and early this morning at Disney’s Hollywood Studios — just in time to celebrate the Grand Opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
