My issue with the monorail is that it is never cool, and in the summer that's a big bummer. I still love to ride it but I always expect a cool ride and it never is plus it can be pretty cramped in there. Maybe you can visit or have dinner at GF to get a little time in there
The access to EP can not be beat! We love that so much! But with the skyliner increasing the traffic at rope drop, we have had to learn to get there a little earlier if we want to ride Remy without a huge wait. It's still the best though!
I can't wait to start planning our summer trips!
