Since 1971, the total miles logged by Walt Disney World monorail trains would be equal to more than 30 round trips to the moon. One dozen new cars were put into service along the 14-mile beamway in 1990 as the original fleet received a well-deserved retirement.

The Monorail is one of my favorite things at Disney. It may be nostalgia, but when I'm on the monorail, nothing is wrong in the world. My phone ringtone is the express monorail announcement. There's probably nothing magical about the trains by themselves. However, I don't think any trip to Disney is complete without a ride on these wonderful trains.
