We recently reported that the historic Monorail at Disneyland will be closing for refurbishment. If you want to catch a ride on the highway in the sky prior to its closing, today is the last day to do so.
According to Disney, beginning tomorrow, February 14, the Disneyland Monorail will be unavailable to Guests, meaning today is the last day to take a ride on the highway in the sky. The Monorail will remain closed through March 6, 2022.
The upcoming closing is to accommodate the demolition of the AMC building so work can start on the reimagining of Downtown Disney, which was announced last November.

A Ride into History
The Disneyland Monorail was the first transportation system of its kind in America. The current version combines the sleek styling of the 1959 classic with new technologies and subtle design changes, bringing a retro-futuristic look and contemporary feel to the timeless Disneyland icon.
Today, the Disneyland Monorail is comprised of the Red, Blue and Orange Mark VII trains. Because the system uses a 600-volt DC power source, it emits no direct exhaust or pollutants into the atmosphere.
