Years ago... it's been 7... the monorail driver would come out of the first car and wait... I saw someone ask it they "could ride up front"..

He said yes... and let the family in the first car.

The next day at the transportation center on our way to epcot I asked and got the first car for our family.. Not exactly a thrill ride but it was really cool. The fact that it was all the way to epcot made for a long ride also... we had a nice chat with the driver and got some nice pics too.

Has anyone done this or seen it done lately ??
