food IS a theme park
Calling all Monorail enthusiasts!
Monorail
The Monorail is such an iconic part of Disney World that it even has its own merch — and lots of it! We’ve seen everything from t-shirts to PEZ dispenser displays that rep this classic Disney transportation!
Whether you’re looking to add some magic to your kitchen or you’re hoping to snag some limited edition Disney merchandise, shopDisney almost always has something new to check out!
Dumbo the Flying Elephant Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Collection
One of our favorite ways to show our #DisneySide is by rocking a new Disney tee every day of the week! You can never have too many Disney shirts in your closet! Recently, we found LOTS of new Disney tees on shopDisney — from Monorail tees for the little ones, to sweatshirts of the Child — you’re sure to find something you’ve just got to have in this bunch!
We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the latest news for you this week. Today we have all the details on the reopening of all the Disney World theme parks and MORE!

See all of our coverage on Disney park closures and reopenings HERE. We still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
Walt Disney World monorails are getting makeovers and we’ve been catchin’ the trains to get a good look at them!
Monorail
We spotted a sleek and futuristic Monorail Silver that looks like something straight outta the future. Then Monorail Green stole our hearts with a vibrant splash of color and new seats! It’s Monorail Peaches’ turn to get some love! [Read more…]
We had a few of our team members arrive at Magic Kingdom this morning to attend the special Annual Passholder preview that’s happening today!
Magic Kingdom
And just about all of us took a different method of transportation to get here! See what our team experienced driving their own cars to Disney World today as well as riding the monorail and using the Disney World buses to get to the gates of Magic Kingdom! We also checked out the ferryboats on our way out of the park today too!
We’ve got another BIG transportation update for ya, and this one’s a bit of a doozy!
Magic Kingdom
Moments ago, we told you Disney Skyliner would be loading only one party per gondola and that Disney World’s parking lot trams would be unavailable when the parks reopen.
This is a big week for Disney fans as Walt Disney World is preparing for its phased reopening of the Resort’s four theme parks which begins this Saturday, July 11th with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, followed by EPCOT and Hollywood Studios on July 15th.
Monorail
One big topic we’ve been exploring is what getting around the property will look like. We’ve taken a look at buses with the recent reopening of select Resort hotels, but what will it be like to ride the Disney Skyliner, the boats, and (of course) the Monorail? Well, we took our first cruise on a reopened Monorail today (with thanks to a friend who invited us to a Cast Member preview which is currently taking place) and we’re here to tell you what it was like!
Since Disney World will start to re-open this week beginning with Annual Passholder Previews, Disney Transportation will also start going back into operation.
Green Monorail
While Disney Buses already opened up again on June 22nd with new health and safety modifications, other transportations options will be following starting July 7th. Although the Skyliner will be opening again July 15th, the Monorails are slated to be one of the first Disney Transportation systems to welcome guests back again.
While limited Disney Transportation has already started to run at the Disney Resorts and Disney Springs, Disney World will be re-opening its parks next week with more transportation options.
The Grand Floridian is One Quick Stop From Magic Kingdom!
Although we’ve had a few hints of which transportation options would be opening and when, Disney has officially confirmed the dates of when most of the methods of Disney World transportation will be welcoming us back again!
When select Disney World resort hotels reopened last week, we knew transportation would be limited, but we were still holding out hope we might get to ride the monorail or go for a gondola ride on Disney’s Skyliner!
Grand Floridian Monorail Station
Well, that didn’t exactly happen…BUT today we finally know exactly WHEN we can expect Disney World’s many modes of transportation to be operating again!
