    Default "Cars" themed monorails!

    I saw some pictures of the new Cars wraps on the monorails and they are SO cool!

    Does anyone have any idea how long these wraps will remain in place? We will hopefully be at DLR in November and my son would sure love to ride one of these monorails!

    For the life of me, I can't remember how long the Nemo Submonorail was around...

    I rode Manny the Monorail yesterday. Yes indeed, he was very cute. Sorry, don't know how long they will remain like this.

    So cute! They were revealed on the Disney Blog last week and we actually discussed a bit on the upcoming podcast. They are all new 'friends' to the Cars characters.

    Oh great picture! I only saw the back side of one of them yesterday as we left (dark blue one). It looks like its just the front since the rear car was normal. When they did the submarine ones, they lasted until end of the summer (those were the full monorail). I don't think they would want to pull the monorails out of service at their busiest time of the year.

    Haven't ridden one yet but they each have unique announcements.
    Will check it out this weekend and report back.

    I like the tie-in to the new land, but think it is somewhat silly because how the monorail only goes THRU DCA and absolutely nowhere near Cars Land.

    Disney fan....yesterday, today and always!

    The monorails are supposed to be promoting Cars Land, but I doubt the average guest would make the connection. That said, I still like it better than a full wrap on the monorails promoting the DCA changes.

    Makes more sense than the Avengerail at WDW.

    I saw the pics the other day of these. I think they are adorable! My sis who is also a member of INTERCOT will be there for the opening of the park. I just told her to ride one and to please take a pic for my son.
    I will try to get her to write a report when she comes back. I cannot wait to hear all about it!

    Mel, totally agree that it makes more sense than the WDW Avengerail.
