"Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor manténganse alejado de las puertas". The Disney World monorail is absolutely fantastic. It's always fun just to take a ride on the monorail roundtrip around the Seven Seas Lagoon. The Monorail makes the following stops on the line: Magic Kingdom, Contemporary Resort, Polynesian Resort and Grand Floridian, and also the Ticket & Transportation Center. There is an extension monorail line that runs to EPCOT. Recently, it was announced that the Monorail will only run for an hour into the Extended Magical Hours (EMH) that take place at MK and EC. If you are staying for EMH at those parks and use the Monorail to get back to your resort please plan accordingly.
There are 12 monorail trains. Each train is identified by a colored stripe. The current colors of the monorail trains are: Red, Coral, Orange, Gold, Yellow, Teal, Lime, Green, Blue, Silver, Black and Peach, the newest color. The train colors Purple and Pink were retired as they belonged to the two trains involved in the fatal July 2009 accident. Monorail Teal was made from undamaged cars of Monorails Pink and Purple.
As a side note...since the date of the fatal monorail accident WDW guests riding on the monorail are no longer allowed to ride in the front car with the monorail pilot.
