My wife bought the shirt that has the saying on it and gets props everywhere she goes with it on.

I have that too - my most excellent cousin got it for me :sohappy:

It does draw lots of attention

Spelling is fine.
The full spiel is:

Welcome aboard the Walt Disney World Express Monorail, our Highway in the Sky to the Magic Kingdom. For those of you standing, please hold on to the handrails throughout our journey and stay clear of the doors. For the comfort of others, no smoking please. Thank you.


We are circling the Disney-created Seven Seas Lagoon. Rising from the Magic Kingdom on the opposite shore is Cinderella Castle. You can also see Disney's mountain range, Big Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain in Frontierland and Space Mountain in Tomorrowland.


To the right hand side on the shores of Bay Lake is Disney's Wilderness Lodge, which captures the spirit of the National Park Service lodges built in the west during the early part of this century. Also on Bay Lake, you can enjoy a natural setting at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. More outdoor recreation can be found at River Country, Disney's version of the old-fashioned swimming hole.


We are entering Disney's Contemporary Resort, where on the Grand Canyon Concourse, you can start your day with Chef Mickey's Character Breakfast. For a panoramic view of Walt Disney World, the California Grill, located on the 15th floor, offers an exquisite array of fine dining experiences, with each meal prepared on stage, as a specialty of the house.


While your group is together, now is a great time to pick a place to meet if you become separated in the park. Should you become separated, stop by City Hall on Main Street U.S.A. for assistance. Guest Relations at City Hall can also help you plan your day, make dining arrangements or provide a special guided tour of the Magic Kingdom.


In front of the Magic Kingdom is Disney's Walk Around the World, a pathway that will eventually stretch more than three and a half miles around the Seven Seas Lagoon. Each stone in the pathway commemorates the name and year of an individual guest visit or an entire family vacation at Walt Disney World.


Ladies and Gentleman, we're approaching our station at the entrance to Main Street U.S.A, gateway to the seven themed lands of the Magic Kingdom. If you're standing, please hold on to the handrails and stay clear of the doors until the Monorail stops completely and the doors open. Ladies and Gentleman, this is the Magic Kingdom Monorail station. On behalf of the cast of the Walt Disney World Resort, we'd like to welcome you to the Magic Kingdom.


Ladies and Gentleman, please collect your belongings and watch your head and step. Please assist small children by the hand. Once again, we hope you enjoy the Magic Kingdom.

I'm trying to figure out exactly how old this spiel is. I am narrowing it down to 98-ish. In the spiel, it points out River Country, which is no longer in operation. It had it's last season in 2002, I believe. It also points out the Wilderness Lodge and states it is based off of lodges built in "the early part of this century," which means this is a spiel from the late 90's, I believe. It also mentions Walk Around The World. Does anyone know what year this spiel is from?

Its an older Robert Wagner one, I believe. I would say right around '98 to '00. The speils were changed to reflect the Millenium, and those ran until '03 or '04 I think when the current voice we now hear took over.

Speaking of which, does anyone have a recording or know whose voice it is we now hear on the monorail? At first I didn't like him, but now, I actually prefer his voice to Wagner's.

ClemsonTigger- Thanks for that. As I read it through it brought tears to my eyes. 32 more days until I get to hear it!!!!

I almost teared up too! As I was reading the whole thing, I could really hear the actual voice in my head. I cannot wait. 144 more days!!!
