As one may imagine, even for an intimate object, being able to live out your days at Disney seems like the dream as the Parks and Resorts are always so well-kept and stunning!
I think you mean “inanimate object”. Your word choice makes this mean something very different.
I would assume it’s part of one of the monorails involved in the 2009 crash. They used the undamaged parts from both to build a “new” monorail, but this might be a leftover section.
That’s a metaphor for what Disney World has become. A shell of its former self left to rot in the Florida Sun, while their corporate masters raise prices, reduce perks, and watch their stock price skyrocket.
I agree. It’s interesting Disneyland has difficulty due to high operational cost having a direct impact on profitability. Yet, this has no impact on large investments.
Seems like the better decision is to invest where more profits can be achieved like adding a new park in WDW. The newest park in WDW is 27 years old this year. Put all the new ideas in there. Today only about 8% of WDW land is developed.
As a disney cm i can say you very clearly you dont do any research before you post “articles” on this site. Yall should use real source and not social media and youtube smh. This was never a real monorail car, it was built for the purpose of testing safety systems in 2013. Made out of aluminum for testing the new fire suppression systems we installed in the trains in 2015/16.
As for the portions of the article that referenced the Monorail and the lack of replacement parts, when WDW was built, many of the rides (still operating) were built from scratch. They had machinists on site that made all of the parts. I cannot believe that the WDW “General Shop” could not make many of these parts for the Monorails. By doing this, they could practically make the Monorail renewable and timeless.

I wish they flipped those canoes upside down… would preserve them for many years to come.

I would definitely take stuff home with me. Only issue is how I will get them home and where I will put them once the items are at my house
