Monorail Priority for Hotel Guests?

[NewbieMouse]

I seem to recall reading somewhere that if you stay in one of the DLR hotels, you can show your room key and get priority seating on the monorail ride back to DTD from Tomorrowland.

I can't seem to find that info now - did I just dream this?

I think so. I never have a problem getting a seat whether I'm staying at the hotel or not.

I've never heard of priority seating on the monorail but i've never stayed in one of the DLR hotels so i could just be out of the loop.

But here's some info on the monorail. Anyone can ride it who has a valid ticket into DL. If you get on at the DTD station you have to get off at the TL station but if you get on in TL you can stay and make a round trip. Also, in my experience, it takes SO much longer taking the monorail in than it does to just walk. I keep trying it thinking it's not as bad as i remembered but it is. The last time i tried it was in late february. I thought it would be fairly fast since it was the middle of the week and during "off season". But the problem was that because there were less people, they only had one monorail going so it took a long time for our turn.

My advice would be to ride the monorail as a ride (or for the novelty of it) but don't ride it for convenience or speed.

There are times when they'll limit it to hotel guests (1st thing in the morning or end of the day) but I don't think there is a "hotel guest line".

You didn't dream it--there used to be a special line for hotel guests. Sadly, it no longer exists. I think it got dumped when the Nemo ride opened.

There wasn't a hotel guest line when we were there.

I really enjoyed riding the monorail at DL, but was very disappointed in how much it was down during my stay. More than 1/2 the times we walked to ride it, it was down.

At least I'm not crazy...I could picture the sign, but don't remember seeing it on our recent trips.

You are right!! I really miss that line.

I think this was the case many, many years ago. However, there is not currently a hotel guest line. Seems like the darn thing is broken down half the time anyway... JMO

Bummer. Oh well, I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it is working when we want to use it.

Thanks for all the replies
