When we were at MK back in February, the Peoplemover went down about 45 minutes before MK was going to close. We had already ridden it during the day, but wanted to ride it at night. We saw everyone being evacuated and walking off.
It was down for about 20 minutes before it came back up. We waited another 5 minutes while they let the cars run to test it out and then were able to ride it before the park closed.
Something had also happened to Space Mountain, since it wasn't running and the lights were on.
FWIW, I've also seen live streams from ResortTV1 where the Peoplemover was down and required the people to walk out.
IMHO, on our last two trips, there were a lot of problems with rides. I wonder if Disney is deferring maintenance or if they are showing their age and are in need of a mechanical rehab? It may also be a symptom of Disney's "pack the parks" strategy in that there's little time for extended down times for rehabs of popular rides.
