Disney World Monorails Get Glowing Logo Update

Disney World’s monorails are being outfitted with glow-in-the-dark logos. The update builds on the undercarriage lighting added to the fleet’s 12 trains during the resort’s 50th anniversary celebration. I dig the new look.

Disney also shared an infographic highlighting the various Disney World transportation modes. Do you think the designer intended to make a stick figure Mickey? If so, well played!
