That link didn't work.
But at the very least they will need to allow folks to pass from the CR to the bridge to BLT. I'm thinking they will block off part of the patio with those hedges in a box on wheels or something.

For some reason I can't link to it. It's a WDW News website. Maybe there's some rivalry that's going on...
Either way, I've not been to that patio so not sure of the layout..

It's a big patio - the width of the Grand Canyon Concourse - there are benches on one side and smoking
and the MK side has some (12) permanent seats facing the MK.

Exactly my problem, and even worse than you, as I'm usually a single park stormer. I like the idea of taking the monorail around and being taken care of, but I'm not wild about having to chat with people that I don't know.

Open up people! The worst that can happen is you'll learn somethin'. My cruise dinner table looks like
I'm not dreading it.

I'm a normally friendly guy, but I don't have the greatest of luck getting thrown in with other people. If I was with a spouse or girlfriend it might be a little easier. But as a solo guy, I'll just keep to myself, thanks.

Sounds like you are just more uncomfortable about it. I get it. I go several times a year by myself because of conferences/business. I've done this for over 25 years. The first day, its weird. After that, I just forget about it. I also seem to have a way of people out of the blue start talking to me. I am sure I don't give off a friendly aura (at least I don't think so), but it always happens. I can't tell you how many times I have gone to Trader Sams, sat in one of the cushy seating areas (since the bar wasn't available) and people always ask if they can sit there too. I never say know, even though my space invader shields activate. Within minutes we are carrying on conversations like I've known them for years. Heck, you are never going to see them again anyway.
In the few hours before fireworks, just how crowded is the local monorail loop?

Don't get me wrong - I love talking to people at the bar, and I run into people all day long that I have fun interactions with. But I don't see me and a whole bunch of people that I don't know as a fun evening.
For we need a little Christmas, right this very minute.
Candles in the window
cabanas in the kingdom.
Yes we need a little Christmas, right this very minute
We need a little Christmas now.

I get it, it's a risk.
I have gone solo many times, and I also make friends all over the place (My wife says that if she leaves me alone somewhere for 10 minutes, when she come back, she finds me talking to somone). However, yes, somtimes the people you get seated with just do not want to be friendly. You can be the most outgoing person, but sometimes they are not. Or, somtimes they just want to have some family time together.

I took some monorail photos from here. Great for framing the castle. As for the fireworks, I think you would want to be on the MK side as the other side's view is partially blocked by the monorail.

One thing's for sure, unlike a bus, it's not like the monorail can wait around for guests to be finished at each location. I would guess that after party goers are dropped off, it's immediately in service for all other guests. Gotta keep moving along the rail.
When the bloggers post pictures and reviews of this so we know what it's like, are we supposed to be appreciative, or do we keep up the hate of bloggers as part of the cabal of lifestylers and pixie dust snorters?
Ohhhhhhhh. Good point.

My sisters and I did the monorail loop as a mini pub crawl before (and yes by the second stop the monorail can feel like an E ticket ride lol) so when I saw this come up I decided to solve two problems at once...first trying to figure out what to do for my hubby for Christmas and second figure out a way to justify going without it being just for me lol. It falls in line with the lunches/dinners etc...we've done for food and wine so we're looking forward to it. My only disappointment was all the friday and saturday's were booked about as quickly as it was announced so we're doing ours on a Tuesday in March and staying that night at the contemporary...date night get away.
