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.
In reality, however, the line mostly functions as the gateway attraction of the Disney Resort. All the stations are inside the private property of Oriental Land, preventing unrelated advertisements that can distract the resort's view.

Famous quotes containing the words resort and/or line:
“The last resort of kings, the cannonball. The last resort of the people, the paving stone.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
