@denmark_97: "I am considering making my next Disney vacation one to DLR instead of
WDW, am wondering about hotels and monorail access but couldn't find a
good diagram of the monorail system on the net.
Wikipedia says there are only two stops  Tomorrowland and Downtown
Disney.  But there are google pictures of a route through the
Californian Hotel and over a bridge near DCA.  And, I always thought
the DLR monorail ran to the Disneyland Resort.
Obviously, I don't understand the California layout too well, having
only been there once during a couple hour stopover on a business
trip.  Would welcome any insights, plus recommendations on which DLR
resorts give best combination of price/value, monorail fun for a
family with kids, and access to parks."
    @davidrac: "There are in fact only two.  Downtown Disney stop used to be the 
Disneyland Hotel stop, but with the building of the Downtown Disney area 
the hotel proper is not immediately at the stop any longer (older 
buildings were demolished).  It is true it runs through DCA and the 
Grand Californian but interestingly enough, without stopping.
The Tomorrowland stop, of course, is inside DLR.

    @michaelconleyNoSpam: "Hi ... Wikipedia is correct ... there are only two stops along the loop. 
  One is in Disneyland's Tomorrowland area, and the other is at the West 
End of the Downtown Disney area, close to all three of the on-property 
hotels (Disneyland Resort, Paradise Pier and the Grand Californian.)
Disney's California Adventure was built over the original Disneyland 
Parking Lot, and the Monorail track does run through it (southern part 
of the loop) but there are no stops within the DCA park.  Guests in any 
of the hotels can board the monorail and travel to Tomorrowland.  Guests 
at the Grand Californian have a private gate into DCA.  It's the newest 
(and priciest) of the hotels, but it's beautiful.  For value, probably 
Paradise Pier is your best bet, with the Disneyland Hotel falling 
somewhere in the middle.
Enjoy your trip!
