Disney Resort Line
The Disney Resort Line (ディズニーリゾートライン, Dizunī Rizōto Rain), officially called Dizunī Rizōto Rain-sen (ディズニーリゾートライン線, "Disney Resort Line Line"), is an automated monorail in Japan, which operates between Maihama Station and the Tokyo Disney Resort. The system is operated by the Maihama Resort Line Company, Ltd.[2], a subsidiary of The Oriental Land Company (itself controlled by another railway, the Keisei Electric Railway Company) that owns and operates the resort. The line opened to passengers on 27 July 2001, two months before the opening of Tokyo DisneySea.[1] The Pasmo IC card ticketing system was introduced on the line from 14 March 2009.[1] Legally speaking, the line is a railway, just like rapid transit or commuter rail lines, despite all of the stations being located on the private property of The Oriental Land Co. Consequently, season tickets are available, and Pasmo and Suica IC cards can be used on the line.[1] Stations
Trains on the loop line travel in one direction only, taking approximately 13 minutes to make one circuit.[1] The trains stop at all stations. Resort Gateway Station
Tokyo Disneyland Station
Bayside Station
Tokyo DisneySea Station
Officially, it is not possible to leave the resort from this station, but an exit does exist (from DisneySea itself), allowing access to Urayasu Heliport, Urayasu City Clean Center, Urayasu Civil Sports Park, and Urayasu Funeral Hall. Rolling stock  The line is operated using a fleet of five unclassified 6-car "Resort Liner" monorail trains[1] built by Hitachi Rail. Each train is finished in a different colour.[3] Up to four trains operate on the loop at one time, running with a minimum headway of approximately 3 minutes.[1] Starting in 2020, the trains of original type X have been replaced with the new type C sets featuring the same/ similar exterior colours[4] and replacement was completed by January 2024.[5] The main differences of type C from the outside compared to the first generation trains are the lack of the antenna centrally above the front window and the two-tone wave paint. Also, the passenger windows are also 50% bigger than the type X trains. Inside, the new generation offers a total capacity of 564 people compared to 537 in type X.
FaresThe line charges a flat fare of 300 yen per passenger for any trip. Guests aged 6–11 ride at half fare and under-6s may ride for free (two per paying adult). Passes valid for unlimited rides for one to four days and one, three, and six months are also sold.[11] Ridership statisticsThe annual ridership figures for the line are as shown below.[1]
