I saw an interview with the voice of the CTA in Chicago (Lee Crooks) where he said he took his inspiration from this voice. I can definitely hear the resemblance.

[@Zj2030]

Definitely

[@chrisfinch8637]

The moment I repeat and read out all these phrases on board this monorail, I get the same sort of vibes, when riding on Chicago’s own CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) around the city/loop. Thanks, Lee Crooks. Even the “doors closing” has a similar phrase, except it’s not read in Spanish.

Having been to Walt Disne World 8 times, the nostalgia that hits me when I listen to this is amazing, i want to go back

[@noahyetman4004]

[@sleepiyonah]

The scent of piss and cleaner emanating from the monorail floor The feeling of excitement and anticipation as the wait to enter the park ticks down The slight tinge of fear as you remember you'd probably die if this thing made some kind of slight error Ahhh, feels good man how cathartic

[@minnie310]

When my friends ask me what my music taste is:

[@SEVENTENLIFE]

So satisfying to hear. Total nostalgia.

[@TheCarson116]

This is the narration I seem to remember hearing EVERY time we would visit the park, and thus it's my favorite (and in fact up until recent the ONLY Disney World monorail spiel I ever heard) as a result. If you ask me there was NO need at ALL for Disney to change the narration given this narration worked fine. Yes things may have changed with the park since the narration was first recorded, but still, in terms of general announcements it's perfect.

[@chrissymc5723]

I love this so much.i love his voice just makes me smile

[@DwarffHunter]

lol, I was looking for the part at 9:18. :D

[@JLSXMK8]

Space Dwarff That's "Por favor, manténgase alejado de las puertas" or "Please (por favor) stand clear ( manténgase alejado) of the doors (de las puertas).

[@harvurd]

After a few days at the park, this sure does stick in one’s head.

[@gnnascarfan2410]

This spiel by Joe Hursh felt way more jolly and welcoming than the boring corporate voice we've had since 2012.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

5:03 anyone listening to this audio in 2021

[@koalapaint]

I bought this sign at a shop at WDW that said "Please stand clear of the door!". I have that sign on my room door right now. I've pretty much memorized almost all this audio. (Most family vacations to WDW we stay at the Polynesian Resort) The nostalgia is giving me the feels ;-;

[@connerroth3732]

OMGOSH, my family and I also stay at the Polynesian resort for WDW vacations!!

[@shimonemissjiveandme4321]

So I actually went to Disney World only once. I was about 7 then. It was a long time ago. We stayed at the Polynesian Village. We went to the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on our trip and we got there by monorail. I remember the Spanish “please stand clear of the doors” and I can even remember on one of my monorail rides one of the passengers was wearing a shirt that had this exact saying on it. Goodness gracious I miss childhood 😢❤

[@catherinemagill2008]

I love this! I miss disneyworld!

[@CristianMtnz]

The Chicago L voice sounds like this because the man who voices the L tried to imitate this voice.

[@ginamarinelli8527]

I was just thinking that

[@chrisfinch8637]

Lee Crooks, you're thinking of. And it's true. He was in Disney World at one point and tried his part at imitating this voice-over, way before lending his voice to the CTA Trains and Buses.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

I remember hearing that audio everytime I ride on the monorail

[@KorbenCountyJr]

miss the Contemporary Arcade, hitting it up on a rainy day

[@DarthBrtt]

This is actually the 4th voice to do the WDW monorail spiel, not the original. Contrary to misinformation on Wikipedia, the monorial did not have an automated spiel until 1984 (there are videos floating around from 1982-1983 that prove this now). Former veteran Disney CM, Kevin Miles, did the original WDW Monorail spiel from 1984 to 1988. Jack Wagner then recorded a brand new spiel in early '89 to be used with the new fleet of Monorails rolling out that same fall. Then sometime in very late 1989, Matt Hanson recorded the 3rd spiel, which was used from 1990 all the way up until late 2004. Then in early 2005, to kick off the year of a million dreams celebrarion, a new 4th spiel debuted featuring the voice of Joe Hursch. This spiel was used for 7 years and then in April 2012, the 5th and current WDW Monorail spiel debuted featuring veteran voice actor Tom Kane's voice.

[@johnrpishotta]

Jack Wagner actually debuted the Mark VI monorail spiel - and you are correct; it was the early 90's - I was there when Blue was lowered onto the beam. His voice remained on the doors spiel as it was part of a different system than the main spiel (CMPAS - which was a looping cassette similar to 8 track as compared to his voice, which was digitized and stored on ROM chips as part of the DPAS system connected to the door controller) His voice was everywhere at Disney - even the MCO air side shuttle used Jack - will never be another voice like his!

[@ProphesytotheWind]

Darth Brett thanks for this info! I have always wanted to listen to each one and compare them.

[@DarthBrtt]

@@johnrpishotta So I have scoured tons of YT videos of the WDW Monorail and have discovered a lot since my original comment! First, watching videos from 1982-1983 I discovered DW did not have an automated spiel at that point! Then I discovered Kevin Miles was the first DW Monorail voice from 1984-1988. Here is where things get wild though! There are videos from spring to as late as August 1989 where Jack Wagner is clearly heard. I assumed his spiel was used until 1991 when Matt Hanson's version debuted. BUT! There is a video from December '89 and Hanson's narration is already in use! So I have a theory which basically jives with what you said. Wagner's spiel was only used for a very short time starting in 1989 and then would have been replaced with the new Hanson spiel as each new Monorail train was added onto the line. I think it took nearly 18 months for the entire fleet to be replaced. Anyways, this is the only explanation why both spiels are heard in videos in late '89. I have found quite a few videos from '90, but all have the new Hanson spiel. So, is it also possible Wagner's was only used for 1 year? Anyways, pretty interesting trying to figure this out! lol

Mark VI Monorails replaced the original Mark IV Monorail at the Walt Disney World Resort in early 1991 - completing the modernization of the Disney Monorail System. Each train has a capacity of more than 300 passengers and travels at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. You may have noticed that each of our 12 Monorails is identified with a different color stripe. Our pilots use the colors to help identify the Monorails operating on the system. Originating from the Transportation and Ticket Center, there are three separate Monorail Lines. These include the Epcot Monorail, the Express Monorail to the Magic Kingdom, and the Resort Monorail - which serves Disney’s Contemporary and Polynesian Resorts, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.
