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 Maihama Resort Line Co., Ltd. (舞浜リゾートライン, Maihama Rizōto Rain), the subsidiary of Oriental Land Co., Ltd. that operates the resort.

Legally speaking, the line is built as a "railway", just like ordinary rapid transits or commuter rail lines. As such, season tickets are available, and Pasmo and Suica IC cards can also be used on this line.[1] In reality, however, the line mostly functions as the gateway attraction of the Disney Resort, and all of the stations are located on the private property of Oriental Land.

Stations

Trains on the loop line travel in one direction only, taking approximately 13 minutes to make one circuit.[1]　All trains stop at all stations.
