Walt Disney World monorail in Contemporary Resort

1972 Jack Wagner Express Monorail Spiel

The Monorail spiels have changed through the years.  Early ones were done by Jack "The Voice of Disney" Wagner.  You can still hear his voice on the monorail reminding everyone in English and Spanish to "Please stand clear of the doors."  

(Departure from TTC)

 Hi everyone.  Welcome aboard the Walt Disney World Express Monorail.  We're now embarking on a scenic journey over the Highway in the Sky.  We'll be traveling nonstop directly to the Magic Kingdom, so we ask that you remain seated at all times and no smoking, please.  

 And now, ladies and gentlemen, we're entering the Vacation Kingdom of the World.  Today, you'll be seeing what we call "Phase One", which stretches more than three miles east to west and two miles north to south.  But that's just the beginning.  We have many exciting plans for the future.  Walt Disney World covers 43 square miles.  That's about twice the size of the island of Manhattan.  

 Out on the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake, you can see some of the boating and water sports activities, but what you can't see from our Monorail are things like golf courses, camp grounds, nature trails, tennis courts, the Polynesian Village Resort, and just about everything else for a family vacation.

 Incidentally, you can take the World Cruise over both the lake and lagoon aboard old-fashioned side wheel steamships.  You'll find them docked at the Magic Kingdom entrance.  Just ahead is one of the real wonders of our world, the exciting Contemporary Resort.  In a few seconds, we'll be passing directly through the center of the Contemporary's Tower building for a look at the spectacular Grand Canyon Concourse.  

 As we ride through the Grand Canyon Concourse, you can see one of the largest ceramic murals ever created.  It's nine stories high and it's made up of 18,000 hand painted tiles.  Elevators running through the center will carry you high above to the Top of the World restaurant, where famous stars entertain.  

 You can see many of the guest rooms high in the sloping walls overlooking the restaurant terrace and shopping plaza below.  In addition to the Towers building, the Contemporary Resort also features lakeside living.  Additional guest rooms are located right on the shores of beautiful Bay Lake.  You're invited to return to the Contemporary Resort anytime by simply taking one of the local Monorail trains from the Magic Kingdom.  They'll drop you off right at the Grand Canyon Concourse station.

 Here's a special program note while you're visiting: out on the Seven Seas Lagoon our exciting Waterski Spectacular will be taking place throughout the day.  Information and tickets are available right near the Magic Kingdom station.  

 We're now on the final leg of our journey over the Highway in the Sky.  Just ahead you can see the beautiful Cinderella Castle, with its spires rising nearly 200 feet high.  The Magic Kingdom is made up of six special theme lands; Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, and Main Street U.S.A.  The steam railroad at the entrance will take you on a grand circle trip around the entire Magic Kingdom for a glimpse into each land.

 And now, as we approach the station, please check for all your personal belongings and remain seated until the train comes to a complete stop.  We ask that everyone disembark at this point.  The doors will open automatically to the right of the train.  When you leave, please lower your head and watch your step.  Thank you for joining us on the Walt Disney World Monorail and I hope you have a pleasant stay in the Magic Kingdom.  Again, may we ask that everyone disembark at this station.

(Departure from the Magic Kingdom)

 Hi everyone and welcome aboard the Walt Disney World Express Monorail.  We're now embarking on a nonstop return journey to the Main Entrance and parking area.  During the trip, we ask that you remain seated at all times and no smoking, please.

 As we travel over the Highway in the Sky, I'll be pointing out some of the other resort and recreation activities here in the Vacation Kingdom.  The beautiful Seven Seas Lagoon is one of the most interesting man-made creations here in Walt Disney World.  Even the islands are man-made.  It took more than three years from the time the lagoon was started until it was filled with water.  Now you can use all kinds of boats for sailing, water-skiing, and excursion cruises on both the lagoon and Bay Lake.  

 The large neck of land jutting out of the water is the site for another exciting resort being planned for the near future based on an exotic Asian theme.  

 To the opposite side just beyond the trees is something special for you golfers.  Our two 18-hole championship courses, open to the public.  They're the site of the annual PGA Walt Disney World Open, featuring the top touring stars of professional golf.  Jack Nicklaus is the currant champion and will return to defend his title November 30th through December 3rd.

 Looking back on the water side, the white sandy beach is the beginning of our own tropic island resort here in Walt Disney World, the Polynesian Village.  The Village is all nestled around a South Seas harbor, complete with native outrigger canoes, waterfalls, luaus, and plenty of Tahitian dancing.  You're invited to return and visit the islanders anytime during our operating hours, simply by taking the local Monorail trains from the Magic Kingdom station.  They'll drop you off right here at the Polynesian Village.  

 We're now on the last leg of our journey to the main entrance station.  I'll be cutting back our ground speed in a few seconds so please remain seated until the train comes to a complete stop.  We ask that everyone disembark at this station.  As you leave, you'll find a courtesy tram directly ahead through the exit turnstiles that will take you to your parking area.  Be sure to check for all of your personal belongings and as you leave, please lower your head and watch your step.  The doors will open automatically to the right of the train.  

 Thank you for joining us on the Walt Disney World Monorail and I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in the Vacation Kingdom.  Again, we ask that everyone disembark at this station.    

Monorail Gold Walt Disney World Contemporary Resort

Express Monorail Spiel Circa 1998
(Departure to Magic Kingdom)

This spiel was spoken by Matt Hanson on the Express Monorail.  

Welcome aboard the Walt Disney World Express Monorail, our Highway in the Sky to the Magic Kingdom.  For those of you standing, please hold on to the handrails throughout our journey and stay clear of the doors.  For the comfort of others, no smoking please.  Thank you.

We are circling the Disney-created Seven Seas Lagoon.  Rising from the Magic Kingdom on the opposite shore is Cinderella Castle.  You can also see Disney's mountain range, Big Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain in Frontierland and Space Mountain in Tomorrowland.  

To the right hand side on the shores of Bay Lake is Disney's Wilderness Lodge, which captures the spirit of the National Park Service lodges built in the west during the early part of this century.  Also on Bay Lake, you can enjoy a natural setting at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.  More outdoor recreation can be found at River Country, Disney's version of the old-fashioned swimming hole.  

Discovery Island, an 11-acre zoological park, is located in the center of Bay Lake.  Launches to Discovery Island depart from Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, the Magic Kingdom, and Disney's Contemporary Resort.

We are entering Disney's Contemporary Resort, where on the Grand Canyon Concourse, you can start your day with Chef Mickey's Character Breakfast.  For a panoramic view of Walt Disney World, the California Grill, located on the 15th floor,  offers an exquisite array of fine dining experiences, with each meal prepared on stage, as a specialty of the house.  

While your group is together, now is a great time to pick a place to meet if you become separated in the park.  Should you become separated, stop by City Hall on Main Street U.S.A. for assistance.  Guest Relations at City Hall can also help you plan your day, make dining arrangements or provide a special guided tour of the Magic Kingdom.  

In front of the Magic Kingdom is Disney's Walk Around the World, a pathway that will eventually stretch more than three and a half miles around the Seven Seas Lagoon.  Each stone in the pathway commemorates the name and year of an individual guest visit or an entire family vacation at Walt Disney World.  

Ladies and Gentleman, we're approaching our station at the entrance to Main Street U.S.A, gateway to the seven themed lands of the Magic Kingdom.  If you're standing, please hold on to the handrails and stay clear of the doors until the Monorail stops completely and the doors open.  Ladies and Gentleman, this is the Magic Kingdom Monorail station.  On behalf of the cast of the Walt Disney World Resort, we'd like to welcome you to the Magic Kingdom.  

Ladies and Gentleman, please collect your belongings and watch your head and step.  Please assist small children by the hand.  Once again, we hope you enjoy the Magic Kingdom.
