Question for the Monorail Pilots out there...

[leftcoaster]

Sure, the lawsuit could go like this:

I am learning disabled in the mathematical realm (friggin' math makes my brain hurt). Therefore, I cannot comprehend the concept of 4 vs. 6, which also plays into my rage and anxiety disorders, as well as damaging my ego since I cannot understand the concrete reasons for the refusal and therefore I have no choice but to take it as a personal attack. Thus, I will sue for discrimination and flagrant violation of the ADA, as well as emotional distress.

You also have to include:

"Due to the fact that my client has lived in a displaced section of the city, as well as the fact that his/her father left her when he/she was 4, her mother could not find a job and was forced to seek welfare to feed and support her 6 other children. Also, my client had to quit school at the age of 11 to help his/her mother care for his/her younger siblings. Also because of these things, my client was not able to go to Disneyland as a child, and was deprived of 'having fun as a child' are all factors in this litigation."

In a october I am 50 then I be a senior citizen

In CA. 50 is not considered a senior citizen - as far as discounts & so on. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Isn't 50 the new 35?

50 means I get AARP. As a member I can use my card to get 20% off of Howard Johnson, 15% off Choice Hotels, 20% off Ramada Inn, 10% off Virgin Airlines, cars and more.

There are others I will be looking into later but they are out there and AARP is just the begining

Hello! New here. I had a great monorail experience and would like to share. Please indulge a SG.

My husband and I have no kids - we are the big kids that go to WDW. A few years ago, we were leaving Epcot mid-afternoon and there was hardly anyone in the loading area, so I asked if we could ride up front. We had to bribe the guy with candy we had just bought, but it was worth it. We get it and it was great. I made the mistake of asking the driver a question - I think I asked how fast we were going. He snapped an answer and it was obvious he didn't want to talk, so the rest of the trip was kind of uncomfortable. So, we rode up front in the monorail - no need to do it again - let other people enjoy the experience.

We went to WDW last October to celebrate his 40th. We had eaten dinner at Blue Zoo and planned to go to Epcot for EMH. I realized I didn't have my pass, so we had to go all the way back to the hotel to get it. We weren't even sure we wanted to go back. We decided to go back and walked to TTC to catch the monorail. I was really tired when we got there and saw a monorail loading. I told my husband to slow down and we'll catch the next one because I don't have the energy to run up the ramp. The CM yelled down to us "How many?" "Two". He pointed to the front and we were able to hop in with the driver. There was already another couple on the other side. It was really cool to ride up there at night. After my last experience, I decided to keep my mouth shut, so it was pretty quiet. As we were approaching Epcot, the driving said "you guys can talk you know". So, the driver and I started talking. He asked a couple of trivia questions about Epcot, which he was surprised I knew. I asked if I could take a picture of him when we stopped. He let me sit in the driver's seat and my husband took our picture. I know it sounds lame, but he really made our trip. He was so nice and made the experience wonderful. I wish I had noticed his name.

Sorry for the long ramble, but I wanted to share my great monorail experience.

Thanks!

Slightly off subject, but when I worked at Knott's, when I did the Grand Sierra Scenic Rail Road or the Calico Railroad, I would occaisonally be asked if a guest could sit in the locomotive. The answer was definately not on the GSSRR, and only with special permission on Calico. I recall a couple of times we had a few guests--one a celebrity, another family members of the engineer--that got to ride in the locomotive. And I'd get requests from guests to ride in the caboose on the Calico, but that answer was also no. The loco on the GSSRR was tiny, and the one on the Calico was hot, dirty, and not very spacious. I always felt sorry for the engineer and fireman on the Calico on hot days, because they had to wear those heavy cotton clothes--bib overalls and long-sleeved work shirts--because the cab was 20 degrees hotter than the outside air tempeture on account of the firebox. Then there would be the occaisonal SG at GSSRR who would ask to pull the cord to blow the whistle--at times the reply of no, it's a legal signal, not a toy or done just because--would fall on deaf ears. When a guest did disobey and pull the cord, the engineer would usually jump their ass.
