Do you always ride the monorail?
While answering another thread I realized that while we have only stayed in the monorail resorts a handful of times, we have ridden the monorail at least once on every trip that we have taken to WDW. Just wondering what the percentage of folks were who feel the same way we do...i.e. a trip to WDW is not complete without riding the monorail.
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

Sometimes after MK has been closed for a little while, I'll just ride the resort loop and window shop at the GF, the Poly and the Contemporary. I just love it.

I'd say that we probably do ride it at least once every trip but most of the time it's as a form of transportation, not because we "have" to ride the monorail to complete our trip.

I think I ride the monorail on most trips - can't remember whether we've had a long weekend trip on occasion where we may have missed a monorail ride. It's not a must-do for us.

It just wouldn't be a Disney trip without a ride on the monorail! Maybe it's memories from childhood or just my favorite Disney line of all time, "Por favor mantenganse alejado de las puertas".

A trip to WDW would not be complete without a ride on the monorail. My kids have loved riding the monorail since they were babies, and I think they look at it more as an attraction than transportation. We always take a spin around the resort loop on our first night, either before or after dinner at Ohana's. Then we usually ride it several more times during our trip.

We'll often take the epcot loop to mk when we leave epcot. Just to get a ride under the belt.

We always ride the monorail, although on our most recent trip we never got a chance to do the Epcot monorail - just the Resort one. I have to admit I was mildly disappointed. That's just how it worked out this time, we either drove to Epcot or took the bus. No need for the monorail.
Been visiting since 1988 - lost count years ago.

Because of ADRs we try to eat at Epcot a lot... So we usually take the monorail over during dinner time.

Abso-freakin-lutely! I've always loved the monorail, and now my son does, too. Whenever, I go to WDW, I always plan a day when we take the monorail somewhere. Like a dinner at Chef Mickey's - then a loop around the lagoon, and then onto Epcot (which happens to be my favorite part of the ride).

We almost always ride it at least twice. If we have breakfast ADRs at Chef Mickey's, we will take the monorail to T&TC then switch to monorail to Epcot. (I try to schedule this each trip.) And on last full day, we take monorail from MK to Epcot.

Monorail BEN!
We always ride the monorail every trip.
This last trip Aug 2 thru Aug 9th we met MonoRail BEN. Ben is a 5 year old "cast member " who only works the monorail. According to his grand parents, they come to Disney often ,locals I assume , and ONLY ride the monorails. He wears a CM costume his grandmother made for him. He gets out at every stop and replicates every sinlge thing the actual CMs do. Right down to the hand gestures! He even passes out monorail stickers and driver cards.
His GP sid they stopped going into parks because he only wanted to go back out on the monorail.
We need to start a Monorail Ben Sighting forum.
Has anyone else experienced Ben?

Wow, I guess we are in the minority. After riding it the first time, it just hasn't been a big deal for us. It's purely for transportation.
