Being it is our first trip to WDW, we desperately want to ride on the monorail...However, we are staying at POR and I was wondering how do we go about incorporating a ride on the monorail without going too far out of our way??

If we do have to go out of our way it is no biggie...

Bonus points to anyone who can explain the best way to have a 20 something, 30 something, and pre-teen ask to ride in the captain's area of the monorail Can you tell I am a teacher olo
