A long awaited visitor has arrived at the Disneyland Resort, Monorail Orange.

Monorail Red is up and running and taking guests for round trips to Downtown Disney and back. Just be sure to get there early. You don't want to be caught on this baby in the ... Read More

David updates us on the current status of Monorail Red, changes to the Fastpass system, what high winds did to Fourth of July fireworks, and the cheap wine being drunk by the Elias family in their lackluster Dream Home.     We were able to get on Monorail Red Sunday evening - but just for boarding.  As soon as we were comfortable in our seats, we were instructed to exit the train (no reason was given).  We got close, but didn't get to ride.  Mechanical issues ...

The Microsoft Dream Home is open and MiceChat reporter Andy Castro is there with an early review.  Monorail Red has also made a hot opening.  And we mean "Hot" as in no airconditioning and windows that open just a few inches.  Wall-E has given Cruella the boot in the Hollywood Pictures back lot and has a Godzilla size location in Downtown Disney.  We round things out with hotel updates and construction updates.      Read More
