Disneyland’s Monorail Closed For Refurbishments

The iconic Monorail at Disneyland Resort has been closed for refurbishment, leaving West Coast Guests without a convenient way to get around the park. The Monorail will be closed until August 31, 2023, while Disney works to give it a much-needed facelift.

The Monorail has been a staple of Disneyland since it first opened in 1959. It is a popular way for Guests to travel between the park and Downtown Disney, and it also offers stunning views of the park and surrounding area.

While the Monorail is closed, Guests will have to find other ways to get around the park. They can walk, take the Disneyland Railroad, or use the trams. However, the Monorail is a popular option for many Guests, and its closure will be a major inconvenience.

A Brief History of the Monorail

The Disneyland Monorail was designed by Walt Disney himself, and it was one of the first people-mover systems in the world. The Monorail was built by the Arrow Development Company, and it was originally intended to be a way for Guests to get around the entire Disneyland Resort. However, the Monorail was only built between Tomorrowland and Downtown Disney, due to concerns about noise pollution.

The Monorail was an instant hit with Guests, and it quickly became one of the most popular attractions in the park. The Monorail is also a popular filming location, and it has been featured in many movies and television shows.

What to Expect During the Refurbishment

Disney has not released any details about what exactly will be done during the refurbishment. However, it is likely that the Monorail will be given a new paint job, as well as some interior and mechanical repairs. It is also possible that the Monorail will be updated with new safety features.

The refurbishment is expected to take about two months, and the Monorail is scheduled to reopen on August 31, 2023.

What to Do?

The Monorail is a beloved part of Disneyland, and its closure is sure to be disappointing for many Guests. However, the refurbishment is necessary to ensure that the Monorail remains a safe and reliable mode of transportation for years to come.
