From the OC Register:

There is still no opening date for the Monorail Red train.

Because there was such high reader interest last week about when the new train is opening, we want to keep you updated with the latest information.

Disney Spokesman John McClintock said today that the Disney is still testing and adjusting the Monorail. He said that no date has been set for the Monorail’s public launch. We’ll continue updating information on this blog about when the Monorail will open to the public.

Not sure how old this is, but a Build Your Own Lightsaber stand has been added into Star Traders in Tomorrowland. Basically, it’s a Build-A-Bear type building station, but in this case, you get to make your own Lightsaber. Different Star Wars character’s Lightsaber’s are available to mix & match, a really cool concept! Also at the top of the stand, there are a couple of screens showing various Lightsaber involved battles from the 6 Star Wars movies. The price for this great collectible is $20!

According to MousePlanet, 2 more of the Disneyland Dream Time events will be held at Disneyland Park this week. The first is today (April 28th), & there will also be one held on Thursday, May 1st. For those of you who don’t know what this event is, well… It’s an after hour event that gets awarded to somewhere between 2,000 & 3,000 people. If you win, you’ll get to spend a whole hour in the designated park, after regular closing time, & the goal is to ride as many rides as possible, with little to no wait!

More Monorail Delays

According to MiceAge:

Daytime testing of Disneyland’s new Monorail Red is off until later this week at the earliest. The suspension issues aren’t that big an issue, but visitors were complaining as they were waiting for the lone operating train to come back, while a shiny new one zipped by unused. CM’s tried to explain, but hotel guests in particular were still unhappy they couldn’t ride on what looked to be a perfectly good train. In light of concerns and short tempers at both stations, and some complaints at the hotel’s front desks, daytime testing is off until they are certain they are only days away from getting the new train signed off.

The picture below should give you a clue as to what could be a big feature in World of Color:
