The Disney Resort Line (ディズニーリゾートライン, Dizunī Rizōto Rain), officially called Dizunī Rizōto Rain-sen (ディズニーリゾートライン線, "Disney Resort Line Line"), is an automated monorail in Japan, which operates between Maihama Station and the Tokyo Disney Resort. The system is operated by the Maihama Resort Line Company, Ltd.[2], a subsidiary of The Oriental Land Company (itself controlled by another railway, the Keisei Electric Railway Company) that owns and operates the resort.
The line opened to passengers on 27 July 2001, two months before the opening of Tokyo DisneySea.[1] The Pasmo IC card ticketing system was introduced on the line from 14 March 2009.[1]
Legally speaking, the line is a railway, just like rapid transit or commuter rail lines, despite all of the stations being located on the private property of The Oriental Land Co. Consequently, season tickets are available, and Pasmo and Suica IC cards can be used on the line.[1]
