reduced hours for monorail

[AuntieKels]

I saw on Instagram that that monorail will be closed from 11am-6pm daily.

Does anyone know why?

They close it because of the heat. It’s not air conditioned, and it gets too hot.

OOOoooooooooh, that makes sense.

I wonder if they will do the same for the Disney Skyliner Gondolas?

They may have AC... the monorail in WDW has AC, just not the one in DL.

No, unfortunately they aren't air conditioned. Hard to believe, being in Florida, right? I guess they are relying on the cross ventilation from the windows.

According to my iPhone’s weather app, Anaheim’s temperature is 96 degrees right now. I also noticed that the Incredicoaster tends to close down when it’s extremely hot. I wonder if there are track issues that come with intense heat?

Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking about WDW. The WDW monorails have air-conditioning, but it still feels warm sometimes. The WDW Skyliner Gondolas will not have air-conditioning. They will have slats for windows to give a breeze.

I'm sorry again. I always thought the WDW monorails had air-conditioning.

I was talking about the gondolas - sorry, I should have been more clear.

So, now that the weather is changing (cooler), is the monorail open all day?

I rode it yesterday around 10:45. That was a mistake. It was sooo hot. Plus it kept stopping on the way to Tomorrowland. I’ll wait until the winter to ride it again

No, it hasn't really cooled down yet here in Anaheim...it's not unusual to get temps in the 80s-90s into October.

September and beginning (sometimes all) of October is the hottest time of the year here. Sometimes the hot weather extends into November. So expect the monorail closures for at least another month.

In the past it stayed open all summer. This looks like more cost cutting by Disney. Charge more, give less.

It's getting hotter each summer, somewhat significantly. This will lead to more heat-related closures of the Monorail.

Actually, in the past during the summer they would close intermittently, and there was no schedule til you walked up and they said it wasnt running. While it is fun to blame everything on cost cutting, this is something I wish they had done previously. Those tubes get so hot inside.

We were there last week, and the monorail was closed often well past 6pm. And then it got so back up once it opened, it wasn’t even worth taking.

Apparently people in DL were using it like a ride and not getting off at DTD. So each stop, only 15-20 people were able to get on. They really need to make it one way both ways!!

Yup. I rode the monorail years ago and it was miserable. Honestly, it wasn't worth sitting in that sweltering sky submarine. Do yourself a favor and take the Disneyland Railroad. Much better and you get the breeze.

At Disneyland, it is a ride, and not transportation. But everyone does have to get off in Tomorrowland.
