All said and done, I greatly prefer the Monorail trip. The views are fantastic. The Ferry is after all, just a boat.

Originally Posted By Mybails When I told our gang they were happy with both. The monorail was out of service the last two times we were at DL and the ferry will be a totally new experience. I'm sure that we will enjoy both

Originally Posted By vbdad55 <We so the same thing VBDAD. Nothing like seeing the castle from the ferry on your first day< for me one of the two biggest rushes to let me know I am on vacation -- the ferry ride in...and walking under the train tracks onto Main Street.....
