Are the monorail cars air conditioned?

Just wondering if this might be a nice way to sit down and cool off mid afternoon, without leaving the park.

No. They are not, and when the temperature goes above a certain temperature, they shut down the monorail.

No, but they will close when it's too hot. They do have the windows open, which is nice.

We like doing Moments with Mr Lincoln and the Tiki Room for an air conditioned break at DL. At DCA, Animation Academy and Philharmagic.

NO…they sure don’t! I thought same thing when there in July…thought I was going to suffocate on there, The fan things were just blowing hot air which made it worse. I was hanging my head out the window like a dog in a car

As always, thank you for your timely and expert advice! We only have 1 day at DL and this one will definitely be on the "best to avoid" list next week when we are there.
As an aside, we went in 2008 in February, and were even able to ride in the front of the monorail with the driver at that time.

Do they still allow riding up front on the monorail at Disneyland? Thanks!

Philharmagic.

I was told by the CM at the front of Philharmagic that this theater has the best or greatest A/C per square foot in either park. Not sure if its true but it was cool in there.

No it hasn't yet come back post-Covid.

I don't know whether or not this is still true, but it used to be that the front and back cars were air conditioned because CMs had to ride in them. I don't know if that's still the case.
