UPDATE: 5:30pm - The Express and Resort beam has reopened.
The Walt Disney World monorail has been down for most of today due to technical difficulties on the Express and Resort beam.
The beam switch between Disney's Contemporary Resort and Magic Kingdom is stuck in a mid-way position. The switch is used to transfer the monorails onto the spur that runs to the monorail barn backstage. (Thanks to TrainPlane3 via Twitter for the images)
Maintenance crews are on site attempting to resolve the issue, and guests are being directed to use alternative transportation, including bus and watercraft.
Both the resort beam and express beam are out of service, however the EPCOT monorail is running as of 3:40pm.
There is no word yet on when normal service will resume.
