( CNN ) -- As a teenager who basically lives at Disney World , Lily Mock has been on virtually every ride at the Florida amusement park . But no ride has been as surprising as the monorail from Magic Kingdom to Epcot center . A power outage Sunday evening forced the evacuation of about 120 passengers from the monorail , Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Wahler said . She said weather caused the power outage , but it did not appear a lightning strike was responsible . Lily said the sky was filled with dark clouds when she , her parents and siblings boarded the monorail around 6 p.m. `` When we sat there , we heard a lot of thunder and saw a few bolts of lightning , '' the 15-year-old said . Suddenly , with the monorail about 30 feet in the air , the train came to a halt . `` It was n't a jolting stop , but it did stop really fast -- the monorail glided to a stop , '' Lily said . Without the air conditioner running , the train car got pretty hot over the next 90 minutes . As they waited for firefighters to help them off , the stranded visitors passed the time by chatting with each other and messaging friends . No one seemed to panic , Lily said . Firefighters later managed to pop open the top hatch of the train car -- but opted to escort passengers out through the doors , using a lift . That actually disappointed Lily . `` I kind of wanted to go through the top , I thought it 'd be fun , '' she said . Despite the mishap , Lily said she 'll definitely be back -- especially after getting free passes for the inconvenience . And for a teen who visits Disney World at least three times a year , the experience was actually pretty cool . `` I just kept saying this is the most exclusive ride , having to evacuate the monorail , '' Lily said . Her mother , Melissa Mock , has been visiting Disney World since she was 8 years old . She describes the family as a bunch of `` Disney-philes '' and did n't mind the surprise at all . `` It was the single most exciting thing that 's happened to us since we 've been visiting in 30 years , '' she said .
