    Default Who's never been on the Monorail

    After having been to the World on several occasions & having only been on the Monorail for the 1st time on our last trip Was wondering how many of you out there have also never been on it.

    Since we always use hoppers, we use the monorail to go between MK and Epcot. Also use the boats to go from Epcot to DHS. Wish there was something other than the bus to go to AK.

    In addition to the convenience it has provided me on various trips from the hotel to the parks, I also love to do at least one complete loop on the monorail just for fun.

    We always park hop from MK to Epcot on the Monorail. Easy transportation. We also like to ride the loops too.

    Depending on were were staying we tend to use the monorail ,more as a "ride" to be honest ,it gives us a chance to look at the scenery
    Otherwise we drive

    If I'm park hopping, and going to AK we'll drive to AK first hit dinosaur and EE and then drive to MK. I always use the monorail from TTC to MK and to EC, and I use the Friendship boats from EC to DHS and back. Most days I just do EC and DHS though.

    Always a "must-do" on every trip, especially with kids!!! This is why we have stayed at a monorail resort so much in the past, with kids it makes life so much easier, especially for going back and taking naps!!!

    I went with always use the monorail, but of course it does not go to all parks and hotels. We always use the monorail when it is going where we are going.

    The monorail is such a part of WDW for us, not just as transportation but as an actual attraction, that I just can't imagine going and not having been on the monorail. Even when we're not staying at a monorail resort, we use the monorail several times a trip.

    Technically, none of the above. We normally use the monorail to go from MK to a resort for dinner and back to the MK after dinner, but we don't just ride the loop for the 'fun' of it.

    I think we have taken the Epcot monorail once or twice in 10 trips...It was a nice trip, but we just don't think about it all that often.

    It's a must do for me! It's just not a trip to WDW without at least 1 ride on a Monorail

    We drive to disney so my dh has to drive to the parks as well. We park at TTC and take the monorail to MK. So we always ride it.
