Ok guys fill me in here so I know I have the right info.

There are 3 lines right? where does each go? And which one can you ask to ride in front? Some have posted we should take all trips around the world.

The only one we have done is MK to Contemp.and back. Otherwise we have used the buses.

Thanks for your info

OK, here goes: (in no particular order)

First one goes express from TTC to the MK and back.

Next one goes from TTC to Contemporary, to Grand Floridian and to Poly and also stops at MK.

Last one goes from TTC to Epcot and back again.

As far as I know, you can ask to ride up front in any of them. It is at the discretion of the CM driving the monorail. They will take up to 4 adults up front.

Hope this helps!

Ok there is the resort monorail that stops at the three resorts, MK, and TTC. It runs clockwise around the lagoon.

Then there is the Express monorail that runs counter-clockwise around 7 Seas Lagoon stopping at MK and TTC.

Lastly there is the Epcot monorail that runs to TTC and back.

As far as I know you may ask to sit in front of all of them.

Are you gonna try the boats anywhere?

I would aim to take all three trips - my favourite is the line that goes into Epcot, as it goes round Future World and I just love the view from above of all the attractions.

To this day I still havent ridden in the front of the monorail, but do ask everytime we ride on it! Good luck and kudos to you if you get it!

I ride in the front everytime I'm on the monorail. I wait as long as I need to. This helps my claustrophobia. Had a run in on the last trip in the regular car and had to jump off just before the doors closed.

The wait usually only lasts a few minutes. They board you pretty quick, and you get special boarding passes too. I have a pretty big collection of them so far!

The Epcot view is GREAT from the monorail!!!

DD and I were fortunate enough to get up front on the Epcot to TTC leg in May! And DD got a little "co-pilot's license" as well. It was magical

DD and I got the front going into Epcot this summer and it was wonderful. We rode in midafternoon when there wasn't a large group of people riding. Had no problem getting the front seat. Most people don't know to ask.

We love riding in the front car of the monorail. Remember when Florida had all those fires?? Well, when we rode in the front with the CMm he pointed out the smoke and from the front car the fire sure did look close. But he assured us everything was okay.
If you have time, ride all the lines so you'll know where they go. I especially like the one around Epcot. We can look at the crowd level from there.
Good luck!

I love riding in the front! When we went last November, we were lucky enough to ride in the front for 1.5 loops around the MK area!! It just wasn't that busy! I'm still trying to get that front seat ride into Epcot!!

There are supposedly certain monorail stations where you're not allowed to board the front cab, but I'm not sure what the actual deal is on this. I remember reading it somewhere, but in practice it always seems to be up to the attendants and pilot.
