Modified Monorail routes in effect during late May

[rob0519]

Allowing non resort guests to use the resort monorail also allows them to spread the crowds between two lines. Sure there are a few short periods where true resort guests might be able to fill all the cars on the train but most of the time they would be empty. The excess capacity spreads the load and lowers the lines for express.

Also if you think Fast pass lines are crazy imagine trying to scan all the resort guests getting on the monorail right after fireworks. The line would be longer than express!

The slowness of the scanners is a technology issue. That could eventually be resolved with a faster band/scanner combination. I've said in earlier posts it allows Disney to empty the parks quicker using both tracks.

The other side of that is of course, if someone is paying $500 plus a night for a room at the CR, Polynesian or GF, should they have to wait 30 minutes in line with the non-resort guests just to get back to their hotel on what is designated the "Resort Monorail Line"? It's never going to change, so it's all a moot discussion.

I wish they would treat it like a rusted out, broken down 72 Datsun pickup truck and just replace it already.

Oh good!
Legally, the monorails have at least another 25 years of run time before they can be forced to retirement.
ENJOY!
