<P> The refurbishment from Mark V to Mark VII was done one train at a time . There was no Mark VI at Disneyland, as Mark VI are used on the Walt Disney World Monorail System . The first Mark VII train, Monorail Red, arrived at Disneyland on December 20, 2007 . It was originally expected to be in service by the end of February 2008, but due to design change issues, it did not begin serving park guests until July 3, 2008 . Mark VII Blue arrived on - site on April 10, 2008, began daytime riderless testing on August 1, 2008, and began guest service on September 16, 2008 . Monorail Mark VII Orange arrived on - site on August 14, 2008, began riderless testing in March 2009, and began guest service on April 7, 2009 . The entire Mark VII Monorail fleet consists of three trains--Red, Blue, and Orange . </P> <P> In May 2012, the monorails received new decals, depicting eyes and a mouth covering and below the front windows, to tie in with the opening of the Cars Land section of Disney California Adventure . Each train was given a new name and unique narration, depicting the trains as if they were in the Cars film universe . Monorail Red became Manny Monorail, Monorail Blue became Mandy Monorail, and Monorail Orange became Mona Monorail . By the end of January 2013, the decals had been removed and the trains were running with standard narration . </P> <P> The Disneyland Monorail has two stations: one in Tomorrowland, and another in the Downtown Disney district . The original Monorail was a round trip ride with no stops . In 1961, the track was expanded to connect to a station at the Disneyland Hotel, making it an actual transportation system . The original Hotel station was torn down in 1999 and a new station, now called the Downtown Disney Station, was built in the same place . All riders must disembark at Tomorrowland Station, and during peak traffic periods, the monorail offers only one - way trips where all passengers must also disembark at the Downtown Disney Station and re-board for the return trip to Tomorrowland . Admission to Disneyland Park must be purchased to ride the monorail . </P> <P> In the fall of 2006, the Tomorrowland Station was remodeled due to the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage construction . The original speed ramps were removed, and a new concrete ramp was added on the east end of the station to handle the queue and access to the station, with concrete stairs on the west end to handle the exiting Monorail passengers . </P>

When did the monorail stop going to the disneyland hotel
