Is there any news on the Epcot monorail?

Things didn't go to plan and it will reopen sometime in July.

According to Twitter, CMs are training at Epcot's Monorail Station.

If it’s from the unmentionable site they’re jumping the gun. New cast were being shown the station, not really being trained at it. More like “here’s the break room and the water cooler” type thing compared to being shown how to actually operate the station

Sorry about that guys. I was told it would be open by today, I was wrong

My gut is that it'll open tomorrow or Friday.

The plan was today, and that turned out to be impossible. I think at this point it's a day to day situation. It's close though.

Something went wrong? I Hope not!

Fireworks return tomorrow. Hopefully the monorail will be operational to accommodate the heavy closing crowds.

Additionally as of today monorails, boats, buses, and the Skyliner will return to full pre-closure capacity. This is in regard to the individual units. A specific train can be loaded to full capacity. But hopefully that also means that Epcot monorail will be turned on very soon.

Kinda sucks that the monorail didn’t open today, I was hoping to catch a ride on it before I head home tomorrow.

They have to clear all the osprey nests on the tracks.

Just send a train and they will clear it real fast!

I heard that the trainer said, "Now I'm going to show you the door."

Everybody thought they'd been fired and left.

They manténgase'd very alejado de those puertas.

Any more rumors as to when this will open?

Just bumping this hoping on a wing and a prayer for @marni1971 to TOCK

Seems like staffing is the main issue now, and is probably waiting on another round of CPs.

"At long last, the EPCOT monorail line may be reopening at Walt Disney World. After remaining closed since March 2020, Disney has scheduled Cast Members to work the EPCOT monorail shift beginning this Sunday, July 18, according to BlogMickey.com sources."

A couple weeks behind schedule but happy to see this.

Awesome news! Is it for training/testing on Sunday or actual guest operations?

I'm hearing it's possible it will not open to guests until Monday. Don't hold me to that though.
