    The "Express" monorail does NOT stop at the hotels. Our extended delay occured in the puke non-property guest line to/from TTC/MK. Our monorail made several stops as I commented but no stpos were made at stations NOR were doors opened to allowed guests to disembark at hotels. If you were a regular guest at WDW, you would know that!

    FerrotAmos, you didn't really just say intensive purposes, did you? In case you're not kidding, the phrase is "for all intents and purposes". Always happy to help!

    >you could have been stuck with Blaine the Mono and his riddles.<

    Please, don't. You are being obnoxious. If we needed your help, we'd ask you.

    Hmmm, TDLFAN being rude. How unusual. But was I talking to you? Was I? No, I wasn't. So chill, sweetie.

Those unfortunate enough to be caught in a situation like that had better know how to use them.
