 WHAT:	
A primary symbol of Walt Disney World Resort for many people, a car from the 
World-famous Walt Disney World Monorail is up for auction at Disney Auctions 
(www.disneyauctions.com), presented by eBay, now through June 6.  In conjunction
with the year-long Walt Disney World “100 Years of Magic” celebration 
commemorating the 
100th anniversary of Walt Disney’s birth, enthusiasts and collectors can bid on 
an authentic Monorail pilot’s car from the resort for the first time.  

HISTORY:	
Beginning with the Walt Disney World opening in 1971, the Mark IV “Monorail Red”
greeted visitors from around the world and conveniently transported them between
locations within the resort.  Disney Auctions is offering the nose section of 
Monorail Red, which was decommissioned on January 23, 1993 following more than 
20 years of service.  By the time “Monorail” Red was decommissioned, it had 
logged a total of 943,976 miles – the equivalent of 38 trips around the 
circumference of the Earth.  On any given day, the Monorail system serves up to 
200,000 Disney guests and is the most heavily traveled passenger monorail system
in the world.

Through June 6, the “100 Years of Magic” auction will also feature a variety of 
memorabilia items from Walt Disney World theme park attractions, one-of-a-kind 
vacation experiences at each of the four Walt Disney World parks, and original 
artwork from various Walt Disney films and park attractions.
