What does Disney do when you get stuck on a ride?

What happens if a Disney ride temporarily stops? Most of the time, if something happens when you're on a ride, you'll only experience a short interruption. The ride will stop, and an announcement will come over the loudspeakers, explaining that you should sit tight, the ride will be back up soon.
