Monorail Track - I might be crazy...

When we were in Disney in July we stood in line for abot 45 minutes just to sit in the front with the driver. My son loved it! We all got transportation cards too!

The monorail tracks are great!

I have a couple of them on my iPod. Slip on the headphones and I can feel as though I am actually there.

I do agree that the different tracks with slight variations are fine. For some people, one year's narration may bring back some special memories.

And finally, I do suggest to all to try to ride in teh driver's cab at least once. You don't get to hear the narration too well (understandable, considering the driver would have to listen to it multiple times - once every 10 minutes on the TTC/MK loop) but it's a unique view.

Sitting in the front car is the best, especially with kids. Sometimes you get a driver who is really into his job and makes it such a pleasure to ride with them. Others are like a lump on a log. I'll take the former every time.

We had one guy who recited monorail related trivia for us nearly the whole way. He was great.

Hahaha, that is great! "Por favor matengase alajaods de las puertas".

I am not sure if you saw it, but I made a post elsewhere in the forums that you can actually buy a shirt that has a drawing of the monorail and that saying at the bottom. I have already ordered mine.

The monorail tracks are definately one of the tracks that remind me of our time in WDW!

How did you get that as a ringtone?! Would love to have that!

Okay, I *HAVE* to get a phone that I can download ringtones on. I am perpetually 1-2 generations behind on cell phones.

The phone I have now is my first flip phone. Kinda sad.

I had a boss ask me for my license and that what I handed him. He never looked twice.

I love to hear the spiel. I can just sit back relax and enjoy the ride. Life doesn't get any better than that!
