No Monorail Service Aug until 2007. I am upset.

[peedeejones]

I am a little mad a WDW now that I found out from Mousesavers that the momorail is shutting down completely from August 31 until sometime in 2007!
One of the main reasons I booked the Polynesian for our October trip is the convenience of the monorail. I am only getting a small discount by using AAA.

Is it wrong for me to be upset that I was not told about this when I booked my room and that at the very least feel that the price of the room should be discounted?

I hadn't heard this yet. I think a lot of people will be more than a little mad.

I can not see them shutting down the Resort Monorail. To me that makes so sense.

although i am not staying at a monarail resort, how will i get to my adr's???? i have them at 1900 park fare, chef mickeys, ohana......

I think you are wrong about monorail closing.

Can you please post the link to this, because I am checking other Walt Disney World sites & they do not mention this. I think you may have read something wrong here. Walt Disney World may do stupid things, but they are not this stupid to shut down the Monorail at the Monorail Resorts for that length of time.

The monorail at Disneyland, not Disneyworld is closing.

The monorail at Disneyland, not Disneyworld is closing.

I knew that sounded wrong. Thanks for clearing that up!

The monorail at Disneyland, not Disneyworld is closing.

If it's the Monorail at Disneyland & not Disney World someone should tell the OP this.

Nice post. Too bad it's wrong.

Sucks for people going to Disneyland, just happy it's not happening at Walt Disney World.

phew! Glad I read through all the responses!
We're going early January and we (mostly 4 yr old ds) would be so disappointed if the monorail was out of service!

 

[peedeejones]

I see now that it is Disneyland. I wish that was in big BOLD LETTERS in the newsletter. I really wasn't even aware that Disneyland had a monorail system and I feel sorry for them. I didn't mean to stir the pot.

I would just call this a misunderstanding of something you just read. However when we all thought it was WDW that was closing the Monorail, you can see that our reactions were warranted. So I would not say you were stiring the pot. Next time before posting something like this, just be carefull about what you read before posting.

Anyone ever play the game "telephone" in elementary school? This is how rumors get started. Thank goodness this one was squashed quickly because my DH was threatening to cancel the trip.

 

[peedeejones]

I am just not going to post here ever again.
In fact, I am just cancelling my reservations because I am not much in a Disney vacation mood anymore and am definately not going to get my news from any unauthorized Disney sites.
Have a nice Disney day!

Everyone relax! I thought the same thing as the OP when I first read my newsletter and I nearly had a heart attack. I've got 10 days booked at the Grand Floridian in November.
I think it needs to more clear in the newsletter because I would guess the majority of people who subscribe to it, are reading it for the Disney World info, not Disneyland

 

[tinkerbellmagic]

I, too, thought it was WDW, until I read the newsletter further. All the info below the monorail news was about DL. The info for WDW was below all the DL news. I had to read it twice to check it out because I didn't think WDW would shut down the monorail without like a years notice..lol. It was not really crystal clear in the newsletter that it was DL, so IMO the OP had a legit concern.

Don't cancel your trip! This is a trivial matter. Go and have fun!

Um, not to make you even more mad than you already are but it was in big bold letters. But thank you for trying to warn everyone that was thoughtful.
