Disneyland Monorail
The Disneyland Monorail is the historic mode of transport of the Disneyland Resort. It runs on a single rail through the resort, with no direct emissions. A round trip is about 4 kilometres long and takes around 13 minutes.
The concept
The Disneyland Monorail was the first transport system of its kind in America. The current version combines the sleek style of the 1959 classic with new technology. Three Mark VII trains run on the line: red, blue and orange. The system runs on 600-volt direct current and produces no direct exhaust fumes.
The Experience
You glide above Fantasyland and Tomorrowland, past the Matterhorn Bobsleds. Then you pass over Grizzly Peak, Buena Vista Street and Hollywood Land in Disney California Adventure Park. You even ride right through Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and the Downtown Disney District.

Skip the main entrance
With a valid park ticket, you can board at the station in the Downtown Disney District and ride straight to Tomorrowland.
Every 10 minutes
The trains run roughly every ten minutes, so you won't have to wait long for the next one.
Enjoy the view
You get a unique view of sights including the Matterhorn, Grizzly Peak and Buena Vista Street.
Visitor information
There is no minimum height. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or older. There are two stations. One is in Tomorrowland, directly above Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. The other is in the Downtown Disney District; you can only board there with a valid park ticket. You can stay in your wheelchair. There is no Lightning Lane for this attraction: everyone uses the regular queue. The attraction may close temporarily during fireworks shows.
Highway in the sky
The Disneyland Monorail is transport and attraction in one. Take it at the start of the day to get to Tomorrowland quickly, or simply hop on for the view.
