Disney Pic of the Week: Monorails

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Monorails at Walt Disney World are not ride vehicles. They are an example of what public transportation could be. I remember growing up and reading the city I lived near was considering monorails and how excited I got. Sadly, the cost of a monorail system for even a small city is very high. That is … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: Monorails"

Contemporary Resort — Part One

Please note, this article is about the Contemporary “Hotel” only. I will not be discussing Bay Lake Tower or any of its facilities.

Vertical Monorails at Walt Disney World

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Many people when photographing the monorail will keep their camera level or in the landscape orientation. I, too, mostly photograph monorails this way.

Come … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week – Monorail"
