More Monorail Maintenance

Letter from Disney: More Monorail Maintenance

I just got this letter from Walt Disney World today. I thought it might be of interest to those of you travelling to WDW soon:



April 2012

Dear Walt Disney World Resort Guest,

We are delighted you have selected the Walt Disney World Resort as your vacation destination!

In order for our Parks and Resorts to continue to flourish as a magical destination, it is necessary for us to make enhancements from time to time.

We would like to make you aware of planned maintenance to the Monorail system that will occur during your upcoming visit. As a result, we will be temporarily adjusting the operating schedule for the Monorail to and from the Magic Kingdom Park. This is scheduled to take place during non-peak times between late morning and early evening.

Buses and watercraft (where applicable) will be available to transport you to destinations throughout the Walt Disney World Resort. Monorail service to the Magic Kingdom Park will continue to be available before and after this maintenance.

Thank you and we look forward to your upcoming stay. If you have any questions regarding your reservation, please contact your original booking agent listed on your confirmation.

Sincerely,
The Cast of the Walt Disney World Resort

Thanks for posting. What are your trip dates?

I am going April 21 through May 1. Part of my stay is at the BLT so that is probably why I got this letter, unless they are sending it to everyone.

Maybe they are going to be working on the station inside the Contemporary?

I would assume this is for more of what we saw before, with work taking place on the Grand Floridian DVC site.

The more reworkings, refurbishments, rebuilding, and new construction, the better! At this point, I love seeing construction walls!!!! :sohappy:

I agree, we are not going to say it will ruin our trip! We will just use other transportation if necessary. I'm all for improvements!

The good thing is, you are staying at BLT... A 5 minute walk to MK... Would take longer to walk to the monorail station, waiting for the monorail, then ride it to MK..

Enjoy your stay!!!

I'm staying at the Grand Floridian on 4/28. I'll let you know if I get a letter. Haven't just yet.

Same here.
Hopefully it should be finished before our WDW vacation scheduled in June! Thankfully, the EPCOT monorail will continue to operate, as usual, during this timeframe.
