    Only occasionally do we ride it. We always manage to get stuck on it or it gets stuck somewhere. So we've found if we really need to get somewhere on time, like an ADR, we will never trust the monorail to get us there.

    Yes when it is available vs. a bus. But we do not ride it just to ride it. We seem to always catch it at least once each trip though.

    wow, this is almost a resounding YES! and i am not suprised bc the monorail is a "ride" to us. We are always reciting, "por favor mantangase alejado des las peurtas" and when we get on the monorail the kids say it right along with the monorail. Its a big deal to all of us but its my 5 year old's favorite ride, every trip.

    I think I've probably ridden the monorail at least once during every trip to WDW but it's because it's been a mode of transportation for us not because it's a "must do ride".

    This is a ride for us. I like to park at MK take the ferry (which is also a ride for us) to MK get on the monorail and do both loops. Thats how we like to start our vacations.

    I didnt ride it last trip because the line at the tram drop off was so long. I picked the boat ride instead. I actually did enjoy the boat ride very much and got many good pix out of it, but I felt like I had missed something that trip. Gotta make up for it next time!

    Always ride it at least once, though I always intend to ride it more often than that. Maybe some day I'll stay at a monorail resort...

    On a side note, whenever anyone talks about the monorail, the "Monorail Song" from the Simpsons always goes through my head. I just can't keep it out.

    HAVE to ride the Monorail every time I go. "Please stand clear of the doors." It's one of many iconic things to do at WDW.

    We didn't really ride the monorail much our first two trips because we were staying at AKL. We like to take a midday break, so we didn't really ride between Epcot and MK. Last year on our third trip, we stayed at the Poly, so we did actually use the monorail! We enjoyed using it- even if you had to stand, the monorail traveled faster than a bus so it wasn't a big deal. Next time we stay at the Poly or any monorail resort we will definitely use it!

    Cool Monorail Is An Absolutly!

    We arrive in 16 days. After checking into Allstar Music following our 10 hour drive, we take a refreshing dip in the Calypso Pool and it's off to catch The Monorail!
    The first ride is our "we're here" check. Now it's time for Electrical Water Pagent and "Wishes Firework" from the beach at the Poly.
    We ride the Monorail numerous times during our stay. The FIRST is always special, It's part of the Magic!

    Like some, I consider the monorail to be a pseudo-attraction. So, we do it at least 1-2 times. I prefer the resort boat launches. But, they are both fun.

    We'll go on it if we find ourselves going from MK to Epcot. We rarely stay at a hotel with a monorail and opt for Dolphin Swan. To be honest I find that the bus system at Disney is far more efficient and available.
    ...on the other hand, when I was 5 years old the monorail taking you from breakfast at the hotel to the park was the coolest thing ever.

    Default Monorail

    We always ride the monorail (both loops) and try to score at least one cab ride. It just wouldn't be Disney to us without it. We try to take the ferry from TTC to MK (or back) at least once each trip, but I can't imagine not riding the monorail. And, like several other posters, we often take a ride "just for fun".

    This is another must for any trip. I have to do the monorail and the Disney train around Magic Kingdom. I am excited about it this time because I am taking 7 and 9 year old boys on their first trip ever. You know how they are about any type of train.
