(Which, during the 50th, was pretty much all the time!  )
They also have been making one-way-only trips to avoid passing over the lagoon while it is being worked on. Making the one-way trips means that the monorail only has to pass BY the lagoon, and not actually over it, where guests could look in and see everything.
I don't know what to tell you about your past trips to DL, though, because it used to make the full circuit so there's a good chance you've ridden it over the DCA bridge! |
AHHHHH, thank you Kim!!!! That makes sense 'cause I remember seeing all the other tracks last June but my Dad and I never thought to ask why we weren't riding over them. I figured it had SOMETHING to do with the Nemo constuction but I thought maybe it was just avoiding large construction equipment or something, 'cause the monorail tracks seem so low to me, like they'd get in the way. I am SURE I had to have ridden over the DtD/DCA portion of the monorail at some point in '01 or '03, I guess it was just so long ago I don't remmeber at all.
SO, when we stay at the Grand Californian this summer the closest spot to get the monorail is the DtD station where I was getting it last summer? I guess the most sensible thing is to get it from Tomorrowland whenever we are in the DL park & want to go walk around DtD or go to the DL Hotel for dinner, etc.
I can't wait, I am SO excited to go back to DL!!! I
Disneyland!
