Monorail Blue Taken Out of Service for Refurbishment at Walt Disney World

Monorail Blue has been taken out of service for refurbishment as maintenance crews continue to keep the Walt Disney World monorail fleet alive long past its due date. The “duct tape monorails” have been undergoing multiple rounds of refurbishment since June 2019. Now, Monorail Blue is in the service bay north of Magic Kingdom as it embarks on a weeks-long refurbishment process. This is the second round of refurbishments for Monorail Blue as the maintenance team is asked to keep the monorail fleet running some 35 years after being put into service. The previous fleet of monorails was retired after 20 years of service. It’s unclear how much longer Walt Disney World will be able to keep its monorail system in operation without needing to upgrade to a new fleet. One of the remaining pieces of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ retaliation against Walt Disney World, is Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) oversight of the Walt Disney World monorail fleet and system. FDOT has been working with Walt Disney World to inspect the monorail system for months now.

Remaining Tinker Bell Meet & Greet Signage Removed from Magic Kingdom’s Town Square Theater

It’s been a long time coming, but the Tinker Bell signage has finally been removed from the Town Square Theater at Magic Kingdom. Despite the fact that Tinker Bell has not met with guests since before the COVID-19 pandemic, signage for her meet and greet on Main Street USA has remained in place until relatively recently. I’m not exactly sure when the signage was removed, but it was this year – perhaps signaling that the meet and greet may never return. Of course, it is also possible that it was causing confusion with guests and someone finally got around to replacing it while Disney figures out what they want to do with the space. Whatever the reason, the signage inside and outside of the Town Square Theater has been updated. First, here’s a look back at the signage that was replaced. And here’s an updated look at the exterior and interior of the Town Square Theater meet and greet venue. Note that things like the character banners haven’t changed, just the wait time signage, and the signage at the entrance to the meet and greet (as shown above). Instead of mentioning that Tinker Bell is “off to Neverland”, the Mickey Mouse meet and greet signage has just been copied and pasted over the old Tinker Bell signage. The Tinker Bell meet and greet is significant in more recent Disney World history as it was the first location to roll

Disneyland Files Permit for $5 Million Update to Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln

The Disneyland Resort has filed a permit with a valuation of $5 million for updates to the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln attraction. The work listed in the permit includes work to replace an existing platform, install a new turntable, work on show elements, as well as lighting and audio/show systems. Additional work listed includes mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln closed on April 16th and a reopening date for the attraction has not been announced. Disneyland has not commented on the work for the attraction, but it seems like significant updates could be on the horizon. There have been rumors of changes to the attraction or additions to show scenes for the Disneyland classic. The permit was originally misidentified as a permit for Haunted Mansion, but it is for the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln building. I don’t think this permit is related to Haunted Mansion. The permit mentions “Block 700” on Main Street – and I found multiple old permits referencing the same block as the Lincoln theatre. That building is also exactly 10,500 sq. ft. Great Moments closed on April 16 for refurb.— Scott Gustin (@ScottGustin) May 2, 2024 Walt Disney was fascinated with the life of Abraham Lincoln. The first Audio-Animatronics version of Lincoln debuted in 1964 at the New York World’s Fair and it was so life-like that National Geographic magazine called the figure “alarming” in its realism. In 1965, the show moved to
