Anyone know what the timeline is for this station to re-open? I thought it wasn't tied to the overall DD updates but that could haver changed.

Does anyone know why Disney doesn't run the monorail at nighttime in the last 5 or 6 years? I remember I used to go on it after fireworks as an easy way to leave the park.

It would be so much more convenient especially for Disneyland Hotel guests.

"Disneyland visitors looking to save a few steps at the beginning or end of the day can jump aboard the Monorail before the park opens or when the park closes now that the “highway in the sky” is once again offering early morning and late night service.

The Disneyland Monorail has resumed evening service for the first time since the pandemic closure of the Anaheim theme park in March 2020.

The transportation attraction that runs between the Anaheim theme park and the hotel hub on the west side of the resort begins running 30 minutes before Disneyland opens each day for Disney hotel visitors eligible for early park entry and closes with Disneyland each night.

Early Entry privileges starting 30 minutes before the opening each day of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure began last week for guests at the Disneyland Hotel, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel. Disneyland and DCA typically open at 8 a.m. — which means Disney hotel guests will be able to get into the parks starting at 7:30 a.m. most days.

The Disneyland Monorail returned to operation in October with reduced operating hours as part of the phased reopening of the theme park resort following a yearlong coronavirus closure.

Since returning to operation, the Monorail has closed most days in the early evening before sunset as Disneyland ramped up attendance and staffing levels during the phased reopening of the parks. The Monorail trains — which lack air conditioning — also don’t run on particularly hot days.

During normal operating hours, you’ll need your ticket or annual pass and a theme park reservation to hop on the Monorail at the Downtown Disney entrance and bypass the front gate on your way to the Tomorrowland station. Hotel guests with Early Entry privileges board 30 minutes prior to park opening.

The Monorail also offers a respite at the end of the day for hotel guests with aching feet or park visitors who want to skip the parking lot tram and walk the last leg from the Downtown Disney station to the Mickey and Friends and Pixar Pals parking garages."

Is there a reason the Monorail seems to never run before or after fireworks? Should be a feature for Disneyland hotel guests and an easy way for people to exit the park.
