The Monorail at Disneyland opened in , and for the last 60 years it has been a staple at the Disneyland Resort. So, how do you ride it? When is it open? Where do you get onboard?
We'll answer all that and more. And if we missed any questions, let us know and we'll add them to this list! This is a little bit of a trick question.
Because the Monorail is considered an attraction at Disneyland, you will need valid theme park admission to Disneyland in order to ride.
Valid admission includes any valid Disneyland park ticket; either Park Hopper or 1-Park per Day for any length of stay. It also includes any valid Disneyland Resort Annual Passes that allow admission to Disneyland Park the day you'd like to ride the Monorail.
There is no additional charge to ride the Monorail with your theme park admission. However, keep in mind that if you have a 1-Park per Day ticket, in order to ride the Monorail, you will need to use that day's admission for Disneyland Park only.
Children ages two and younger don't need a park ticket to get into Disneyland, so they won't need a ticket to ride the Monorail either. Disney uses the honor system, so no proof of age is required. Yes - the Monorail is accessible for all guests in wheelchairs, with no transferring required. Strollers are allowed on the Monorail; however, they must be folded before being allowed onboard. If you only want to experience the ride, go whenever you wish; the wait to board is usually 15 to 25 minutes except in the 2 hours before closing.
Note that during busier times of the year, if you want to take a round-trip ride, you may be required to disembark and re-queue to return to your destination they will announce this before you get on. Unless only one monorail is running or it's raining the monorails perform less well in the rain , loading is surprisingly quick, with monorails departing every 5 minutes. Ask the cast member at the entrance how many monorails are running if you want to get a better estimate of how long you'll wait.
The monorail may suspend services from one hour before the Disneyland Park's evening fireworks until 45 minutes afterwards, and ceases to bring guests into the park 30 minutes before closing. Note that the minute duration listed here assumes you take a "round trip" journey from the Tomorrowland Monorail Station.
The actual ride time during which the train is moving is about 3 minutes from Tomorrowland to Downtown Disney and 5 minutes from Downtown Disney to Tomorrowland. Monorail service may be suspended for hours at a time during days with extreme heat.
We're talking high 90s. It may seem frustrating, but trust us, Disney is doing you a favor. This chart shows you roughly how long you'll wait for Disneyland Monorail when you visit on a day with a given Disneyland Crowd Level.
The blue bars represent the average "peak" wait time that is, how long the line will be at its busiest. The bottom and top black lines represent the range of peak wait times to expect for you fellow nerds out there: it's the 5th percentile and 95th percentile of peak wait times. Please note that these are estimates, and for a better forecast for your travel dates, see Disneyland Monorail Wait Times. Nice relaxing ride with some interesting views of the park; take the monorail to Downtown Disney for lunch.
A debate exists about whether the Wuppertaler Suspension Railway is truly a monorail. Specifically, she was sick to her stomach.
Like many people, Lillian Disney was susceptible to motion sickness, and the suspension railway is notorious for upset stomachs. A bit of wind causes the carts to rock in place.
Similarly, tight turns inevitably make the carts sway back and forth. The ride experience is fine for most people, but the people it negatively impacts have nightmarish experiences. Lillian Disney happened to be one, and her motion sickness is the key to the current form of the monorail. The last thing that he wanted was for people to feel nauseous before they ever entered the parks. To avoid such problems, Disney ruled out the hanging train system and instead designed a monorail where the train carts move over the tracks.
In Chongqing, China, a city with a population of Called the Chongqing Rail Transit, it debuted in and immediately serviced a huge metro system population in western China. Prior to its introduction, the monorail system in place at Walt Disney World was the unquestioned world leader in terms of daily traffic. The Orlando version of the monorail transports approximately 7, guests per direction each hour. In a single day, that adds up to about , monorail customers. A natural part of human behavior is to wonder how fast something can go.
In the case of the monorail, you likely have modest expectations. To avoid such concerns, Disney has capped the maximum speed of the monorails at 55 miles per hour. Park planners suggest that the average speed is 40 miles per hour, but even that may overstate the situation.
Some parts of the monorail system go 15 miles per hour, which is basically bike-riding or jogging speed. Maglev trains are the fastest ground vehicles in the world, with recorded speeds of miles per hour.
