Disneyland Monorail Mark V - POV (1991)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2014
- Before Disney California Adventure, before Downtown Disney, before 'New' Tomorrowland, this Point-Of-View (POV) monorail ride in a Mark V front cab captures views no longer seen at the Disneyland Resort. You'll see the Skyway through the Matterhorn, Peoplemovers in Tomorrowland, the original parking lot and Disneyland Hotel Station. Come along for a ride, it's May 7, 1991!

BIGGEST parking lot I ever saw!!! We stayed nearby at the Heidi Motel. Both gone now and I will always cherish the memories of this Disneyland that we see in this video.
I reamber being a kid and i reamber the big parking lot !
That voice narration immediately takes me back to my childhood. I don't ever recall riding the Monorail....but I was around to be at Disneyland in 1991. Damn. Nostalgia!!! Love it!
This is how I remember the Monorail and the cast member/public parking lots when I worked there. Look how empty it was then.
This brings back so many memories! I was 16 years old in 1991. My family used to go to Disneyland frequently.
Veronica Panella i was four-ish, in ‘91. We went pretty regularly, too, a few times a year with several other people. It was easier to afford back then
I wish I was 16 in 1991. Or better yet, 1988. Then I could've enjoyed something like this at the age I am right now in the 90's or something.
"Disneyland will be open until 6pm this evening."
Damn, I can't even remember the last time Disneyland closed that early.
Disney respected family dinner time back then . And we respected Disney . We did up untill woke .
In show business tradition, (think Broadway) Walt had Disneyland "dark" on Mondays and Tuesdays... for scheduled maintenance out of view 😊 I enjoyed having my lunch in some pretty peaceful locations. Fond memories of the past, indeed.
Just stop@@thatguysstuff15
5:00 - Nice, we even get a glimpse of the short-lived Disney Afternoon Avenue
This was the last great era for the Disneyland Monorail System. While I miss the wide expanse of the old parking lot, the Mark Vs were built with greater attention to the needs of the pilots who operated them compared to the Mark VIIs of today.
It looks so weird just being a parking lot
so much to love about this video. most of all it was shot 2 days before my 30th birthday! i had an annual pass at this time, and went constantly (with no reservation needed!) so there's a good chance i was there that day. i miss the way the "disneyland resort" used to be. i'm not a big fan of dca or downtown disney. i used to ride my bike to the park across the 100 acre parking area,and lock it right next to the main gate. so many great memories of that time.
Absolutely loved this. Love riding up in the cabin
Great video! Boy that horn gets used a lot! It's a much longer run than I remember as a kid!
Robert Leabow Thanks Robert. The monorail originally opened in 1959 and as you said, remained within Tomorrowland primarily. The system was expanded to the Disneyland Hotel in 1961. The Disneyland Hotel Station was rebuilt and reopened as the Downtown Disney Station in 2001,
My left ear enjoyed this
Great video. Brings back many memories

Thanks for sharing these interesting, old and great memories!
This is my past. I miss the old hotel. (CM 1985-1994)
GREAT video and thanks for sharing! What nostalgia before everything changed. That parking lot was the LARGEST that I had ever seen in my life and our Heidi Motel was to the south of it on Katella Ave. GREAT memories and I always LOVED the monorail train, especially riding in the front "bubble".
Great time. Motor boats were there. Skyway, Rocket Jets all where they belonged. Things looked simpler.
My oh my, what a wonderful day!!! 😊
Who else remembers when one can park extremely close to the main gate if they got to the park early enough? People have joked that your first ride is the tram to the main gate. Dang. I'm getting old. HAHA
Yes... and Cast Member parking at Harbor Pointe! 😊
This was about the last time I went to Disneyland I went in 1991. This was before all the changes. No more skyway, no more people mover, etc. Took a turn for the worst not long after this video was made
What a different landscape 30 years later....compare this footage with one from the modern day....hard to believe you're riding the same rail.
5:00 Gummi Glen and Afternoon Avenue!
I wish i could've riden the Disney Monorail in the 90's like in 1991. Then not only could I have enjoyed this, but also the Skyway and Peoplemovers at the age I am right now or something.
The parking lot was so huge
until DCA came in
Lance Myers Thank you sharing you video so much. I have some pictures to show my kids what it was like. But now I can show them how it really was. ❤️
LANCE: BIGGEST parking lot I ever saw and I really miss all that open space.
Amazing video, thank you for posting!
All the old rides were still there!
I didn't see anyone on the people mover. I guess it was the nobody mover that day.
I much prefer the looks of the mark V to the new "double dong" models.
The "bubble top" design by Bob Gurr always a classic look. 😊
4:25, yes!
Its much crazy beautiful today 2021 compare 1991
Still closed 😥
Wondering what the big purple and gold balloon shaped object is at 6:17. I'm guessing it was part of the "Disney Afternoon" feature.
NO AFTERNOON AVeNUE FOr DISNEYLAND ANYMOrE!
Wow the motor boat cruise, Disney is sure good at abandoning thing and doing absolutely nothing in the future.
Who did the original narration for the Mark V Monorail? Was it Jack Wagner?
Driver said Magic Kingdom before pulling into Tomorrow Land?
Mark Span Disneyland is the original “Magic Kingdom”.
Disneyland’s unofficial nickname is “Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom” or “the Magic Kingdom of Disneyland.” If fact Walt often referred to Disneyland as the Magic Kingdom all the time
Wow. Lol
Better use of the parking lot then DCA
Is this Jack Wagner doing narration? The voice sounds like him but a bit deeper.
Jack was still "the voice of Disneyland" during this time, he was the narrator for the Disneyland monorail system. He was also (and still is) the voice behind the Main Street Railroad Station announcement, "your attention please..." 😊 The current narrator is the voice-over talent Matt Henson.
Did you use to drive the monorail?
No, just a fan. Author of Monorails: Trains of the Future - Now Arriving
