The Monorail is such a favorite mode of transportation that some would even call it an attraction! In fact, I’d go as far to say that it’s a symbol for the Disney Parks in the U.S. Its “elevated” status has led us to declare it the topic for this week’s Pic of the Week. Come back on Thursday and Saturday to see Lisa and Scott’s images of this iconic Highway in the Sky.

If you’ve been collecting AllEars® Trading Cards, then you’ll recognize my Pic of the Week, the blue Mark VI Monorail train. Here it circles around Future World in Epcot.
Monorail trains are definitely attractions, both to ride and to marvel at (and photograph) when they pass by. I would also include Seven Seas Lagoon ferries and shuttle boats (MK-GF-Poly loop) and Sassagoola River water taxis in the attraction/transportation category. “Getting there is half the fun” didn’t get into the lexicon for no reason.
We do so love the monorail. It is too bad there has been so many unfortunate problems recently. I long for the days that you could ride up front, and get your official pin, and card.
