The Disneyland Monorail is a transportation system at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. It was the first monorail system in the Western Hemisphere, and it has been operating since 1959.

The Disneyland Monorail consists of two trains, each with two cars, that travel on a single beam track throughout the resort. The trains are powered by an electric motor and can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.

The monorail travels on a 2.5-mile route, with stops at Tomorrowland in Disneyland Park and the Downtown Disney District. Guests can board the monorail for a scenic tour of the resort, or as a convenient way to travel between the two destinations.

The Disneyland Monorail is also an attraction in itself, with its sleek and futuristic design inspired by mid-century modernism. The trains have become iconic symbols of Disneyland and have been featured in many films, TV shows, and commercials over the years.

Overall, the Disneyland Monorail is a beloved part of the Disneyland experience, and it continues to be a popular attraction and transportation option for visitors to the resort.

I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other site isDMR.
