Perhaps the current WDW monorail cars accomodate the number of guest riders in an appropriate way. I don't THINK that Disneyland's upgrade had EVERYTHING to do with 'cosmetics', my guess is that the rider demand CALLED for upgraded cars. If WDW's monorail system isn't failing in the deparment of rider demand I doubt we'll get new ones anytime soon.

Yes, this is true. Disneyland's Monorail demand has grown greatly over the past 8 or so years, all starting with the DLR expansion back in 2001, so TDA and WDI finally knew it was time for newer and larger upgrades, and our track system is much smaller than WDW...less terrain to ground. But on the contrary, WDI and TDA have been wanting to upgrade DLRs monorails for years to a newer and sleeker look but hadent been able to when Cynthia Harris *yack* and Paul Pressler *cough choke* were in charge. So many wonderful things has happened since they left in 2004...woot woot! And yes...there are many things to be jealous of Disneyland for
