From the article:
JetBlue spokesman Loren Duran released the following statement Wednesday:

On Wednesday, November 20, 2013, Flight 1266, Fort Myers (RSW) to Boston (BOS), diverted to Orlando International Airport (MCO) after the slide partially deployed into the front galley. No injuries were reported. Out of an abundance of caution, an emergency was declared. The aircraft landed safely at 3:45 p.m. and taxied to the gate, where customers deplaned from the rear door. The aircraft was taken out of service for further inspection. Customers will be reaccommodated on another aircraft to Boston with an estimated scheduled departure of 5:00 p.m. local time.
