Refurbishments are an unavoidable theme park reality. Unfortunately sometimes attractions must close to guests to provide a safe and pleasant guest experience.

Sometimes these closures affect fan travel dates, so it is important to stay on top of them so that you can manage your expectations. However, a change in the refurbishment schedule can mean that one of your favorites may be available during your vacation dates after all!

There are 2 Monorail stations at the Disneyland Resort. Guests enter the Disneyland Monorail inside Disneyland Park at the Tomorrowland station right above Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage. The second entrance is in Downtown Disney and it takes you into Disneyland Park.

Aboard the Disneyland Monorail, guests will enjoy one-of-a-kind views on during a 2.5-mile, 13-minute round-trip journey.  The ride includes views of Disneyland Resort as well as Disney California Adventure Park. It also passes through Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa and the Downtown Disney District.

Monorail runs through but doesn't stop at the Grand Californian.

This sucks! We have reservations for the first week in March for the parks and Disneyland Hotel. The ease of accessing the hotel via the monorail was a big reason we are staying there.

I am upset as was planning our first trip to DL the 3rd week in March and was looking to riding the monorail in DL and staying at the Grand Californian Hotel which from your article the monorail runs through it. As I have mobility issues was planning to use the monorail to help get around. Bummer!
