The Disneyland Monorail








Disneyland was personally built and owned by Walt Disney through his company, WED Enterprises. Eventually, Walt returned Disneyland to Walt Disney Productions, but he kept two attractions for himself - The Disneyland Railroad and the Disneyland Monorail. Those who operated these attractions were employees of Walt through another company called Retlaw (Walter spelled backwards). Knowing this history helped me to realize that it was a privilege to work the monorails, though the transition from the Mark V to the Mark VII was rough and generated much frustration from guests. This experience really helped me to hone my guest relations skills...but, I have to admit - the monorails are fun to drive!
