The Disney Resort Line[a], officially known as Dizunī Rizōto Rain-sen[b], is an automated monorail line in Japan that connects Maihama Station to the Tokyo Disney Resort. It is operated by the Maihama Resort Line Company, Ltd.[c], a subsidiary of The Oriental Land Company, which owns and operates the resort.
Passenger service on the line began on July 27, 2001, just two months before Tokyo DisneySea's grand opening.[1] When Tokyo Disneyland first opened in 1983, it was within a comfortable walking distance of Maihama Station. However, the addition of Tokyo DisneySea in 2001 significantly expanded the resort, making it too large to navigate on foot. The monorail provided a convenient transportation solution while also opening up more land for development, including additional resort hotels.
Despite being entirely located on private property owned by The Oriental Land Company, the line is legally classified as a railway, similar to rapid transit or commuter rail systems. As a result, season tickets are available, and passengers can use Pasmo and Suica fare cards.[1]

Perspective
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.[2] 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 similar exterior colours[3] and replacement was completed by January 2024.[4] 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.
