Disney Resort Line

A really nice monorail system that connects the whole Disney complex with the local JT train station. Clean, quick, and highly efficient.
Like some other reviews, why pay if you are already paying to stay and or visit?

What? We had to pay for the Disney monorail??? Yes, as if the park tickets were not enough, they do charge for the monorail service, but there’s no way to go between the parks and resorts without it.
However, it is a cute monorail with Mickey Mouse windows and handles.

Cute trains! Similar to the Disney MTR in Hong Kong, the Mickey windows and the Mickey handles are adorable. It really starts you off in a happy mood even before you enter the park.
The train is completely automated without a driver. The circular line has a total of four stations, namely Tokyo Disneyland, Bayside, Tokyo DisneySea, and Resort Gateway which is to the left as you exit the JR Maihama Station. These two platforms are not connected with a cover. You have to get off of one and get back up on another. It makes it less convenient for the physically challenged or when it’s pouring rain. Moreover, this is one transit at which you cannot simply swipe your Pasmo card or Suica card at the gate to go through. It would have sped up the bottleneck. We ended up getting the two-​day pass for ¥800. It worked out well for us.
Before heading back to Tokyo, we were goofy enough to stay on the monorail. Let’s close out our Disney day with one more ride! It took about 15 minutes to complete the entire loop. It wasn’t a thrill ride but was definitely neat to catch the views along the way especially if you sit in the front.

This is the cutest resort line!
Expensive for only having four stops, the Disney Resort Line is 250 yen for a one way trip. The four stops the DRL makes are Tokyo Disneyland, the JR station, the Disney hotels, and Tokyo Disney Sea.
The interior is adorable! The hand rails and the windows are Mickey shaped and I wish they had these in America. The seats are nice too and are designed to fit more people on the line.
I wish the resort line wasn’t so expensive, but it is a reliable line compared to the monorails in America.

This is the monorail for the Disney Tokyo Resort. Unlike the one in Anaheim, it is not included in park admission so it cost around ¥250 ($ 2.50 USD) for a single trip. It takes you to a couple of stops: Tokyo Disneyland, the hotels, Tokyo DisneySea, and JR Rail station. It’s pretty common to see people take the monorail to the DisneySea stop since it is further away from the JR stop. The monorail itself is Disneyfied with the Mickey head windows, Mickey head overhead handles to hold onto, and seating patterns. While the cost only covers one way, you can stay on as long as you want (I stayed for 2 complete loops once since I wanted a nice rest before heading into Disneyland). They run even in heavy downpours (I know because the last night I was at the parks, I was sitting and waiting on the JR Keiyo Line for over 30 minutes while watching the monorail pass by multiple times).
Docked one star since it’s a separate cost. It would’ve been nice if it was connected to the parks where it drops you off inside the parks.
