| The route never changed. It's the same monorail it's always been. What changed is that the monorail station used to be surrounded by shops, the old Monorail Cafe, and the large "courtyard" area where the little toy boats and arcade by the "wharf" used to be. That whole area was replaced by the ESPN Zone/Rainforest Cafe end of DTD.
You used to exit the monorail and feel like you were "on" hotel property, even though you still had to walk past all the shops and the little wharf area before you got to the actual hotel buildings. Now, you exit that same station and have to walk past Rainforest, ESPN Zone, and that same courtyard to get to the hotel buildings.
I remember at first feeling the same way...why did they change the monorail? But if you think about it, they never touched the tracks...it's just that the area surrounding the station looks so different, hehe! |
