OMG I'm now laughing so hard I snorted my tea out through my nose-sphincter tone and the picture of the monorail in front of the castle-you guys are hysterical!!!
Closing the DL one for a while won't cause too many problems besides unhappiness. It goes from the DL hotel to Tomorrowland. My guess is that they will make it involve California Adventure, because from what I remember a few years ago, you would have to walk through.
WDW has three monorail routes. It is possible to shut down just one of them and for periods of time in 2004 or 2005 they were shut down one at a time to add automatic gates to the platforms. I remember one time when just the TTC to MK direction (opposite the rush hour) was shut down in the late afternoon and evening and just the MK to TTC direction was shut down in the morning.
Honestly, that monorail is usually so run down it barely works anyways. I've only tried to get on it this past December, but it was broken down for literally half of my 2 week trip One time I was at the station and it was pulling in and pow, the darn thing got stuck on the turn But I've heard major horror stories about it lately so it's nice to see that they're trying to spruce it up.
