Thanks, Galaxy Edge. What else can you screw up?

Because wouldn't that mean they'd still have to staff during those hours "just in case" the temperature falls below x. Far better from an operational standpoint to just say we'll shutdown daily from x to x time instead of having Monorail CMs sitting doing nothing "just in case".

So for those keeping score, so far I’ve got down that Disney be liars, Disney be cheap, and Disney be dumb.

You mean, the planned shutdown may actually have more to do with operational costs than the weather? Feels like you're really out on a limb here...

Nope, that is not what I said.
I still do believe this has more to do with heat than cost savings. However from a business sense it would be financially foolish to have CM sitting around doing nothing for hours "just in case" the heat dips below some temp. So if you know the heat index will be higher between x and y times then you shutdown for those times instead of just having CM sitting around waiting "just in case".

So let's look at the forecast
weather.com
The highest tempeture predicted in July is 90 on Monday, July 15th.
Starting July 21st, it is around 88.
On June 10th, the high was 96. Did the Monorail operate all day?
August is 88 or 89, same with September, though in late September it goes down.
If Disneyland wants to give good guest service, especially to their Hotel guests, that pay a higher room rate JUST because Disney owns them, then they should operate the Monorail all day, barring safety issues.
CM's can be transferred to other duties, such as crowd control, etc. Heck, just have themg interact with guests in a friendly manner. Hand them Pin Trading Lanyards, there are Pin Stores near both entrances/exits.

Or maybe they should have invested in air conditioning the f-ing trains (and bought a fourth train) in the first place! They want to sell the convenience of monorail access, but don't want to pay for it.

I was there early July, there were some warm days. I remember riding the monorail during the day and it seemed fine air flow wise. It was way more bearable than trying to watch the Pixar orchestra perform in direct sunlight with no shade. I love the orchestra but that was painful! Ha.

But WDI builds new monorails in the 2010's that have no air conditioning and no real ventilation and can't roll the windows down more than a few inches in summer? Promote that guy!
And a company with a land focused on "Tomorrow" with heat-related ride closures in Sunny California can't figure out solar.
