Does anyone there know what the accident was on board the Skyliner that prompted the evacuation?

From what I've read it sounds like a gondola in the station didn't connect to the cable properly or jumped it, causing the ones behind it to crash in to it. So they had to stop the whole system. So the issue was on the ground, and fortunately no one was hurt.

Just a heads up that standard rooms (and all other room categories) have now become available again for next August after only having Pirate rooms available.

We ‘might’ go back again next year so just changed our All Stars booking to Cbr 😊 .

Thanks for the heads up macadoo.
Just checked my dates for July 2020 and standard room now available for then too.
I've got CSR booked atm, but might look at changing to CBR for £200 more.😊

When will you know if you are going back?

I'm still looking for decent flight prices! Wish I'd have booked before TC collapse, as they're £150 more pp than they were before now 😞

For anyone there ATM how have the buses been to Epcot & HS?
Hopefully they've still got enough to run a normal bus service while Skyliner is down.
