In another article they were talking about smoke coming from a monorail . Sure its nothing but here is the link.

Smoke was reported aboard a Walt Disney World monorail this morning, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.
The Reedy Creek Fire Department responded to the incident around 10:14 a.m., but did not find a fire. An electrical short may have caused the smoke and prompted the monorail to shut down, according to the fire department.
There were passengers on the monorail when emergency personnel were notified, however no injuries were reported, a sheriff's spokesman said.
The monorail system appears to be running.
A Disney spokeswoman has not returned a phone call from the Orlando Sentinel.
In July monorail pilot Austin Wuennenberg died when two trams collided at Disney's Transportation and Ticket Center -- the main station for visitors boarding trains for the Magic Kingdom.
The July 5 crash, the first fatal accident in the monorail's 38-year history, has sparked multiple investigations, including probes by the National Transportation Safety Board and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
While investigators think human error is at least partially to blame, according to people familiar with the probes they are also scrutinizing Disney's internal policies and procedures to determine whether they may have contributed
