Getting the most out of the monorail

[Wilcojoe]

We have an upcoming trip to the DLH (7/20-7/22) as this is our third time staying here. We love taking the monorail back to the hotel for afternoon breaks as well as at the end of the night.

With so many celebrations taking place for the 70th, I was curious what times the monorail shuts down so we can coordinate our timing accordingly? Also is it worth using the monorail for early entry if we want to start in Fantasyland on the Tuesday of our trip or are we better off going thru the main gates?

Do not waste valuable early entry or rope drop time using the monorail to get into the park. It will not run until the official start times and then you will be behind everyone using the front gates.

I don't know what time it stops in the evening but you may have trouble using it come go back to your hotel in the middle of the day for breaks since you are going in July depending on the weather. It doesn't have AC so shuts down if the outside temp gets above a certain point (can't remember the number but it might be 80) and won't open again until the weather cools off. Taking it back in the evening should work fine
