Disney’s Awesome Things #15: The Monorail

#15What a clever contraption, isn’t it? The Walt Disney World Monorail System is always one of my favorite rides. Zipping along at 40mph with it’s wonderful smells and views takes you to vacation mode.
In case you haven’t already memorized those wonderful monorail lines that take you to your happy place, here they are: Red, Coral, Orange, Gold, Yellow, Teal, Lime, Green, Blue, Silver, and Black.
Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor manténganse alejado de las puertas.

I love riding with the pilot! I was on a solo trip in 2008 and rode with the pilot and a father & daughter. The daughter took a shine to me and we had a very fun filled trip from the Magic Kingdom to Epcot. She was about 5 and she chatted up a storm for the whole trip, her dad looked at me and said ‘she is usually so shy’. When we got off the Monorail, she had to hug me and told me to have a really fun day.
The best Disney moments are the small unexpected ones!

It’s a shame they don’t let you ride up front anymore – that sounds like a great memory. And you’re right about the best moments are small and unexpected!

While I was a participant in the College Program, a friend and I sat up front in the monorail. The pilot realized we were CP’s and let me pilot the monorail from MK to the TTC. It was an awesome experience!
