Tokyo Disney Resort Line Monorails also feature overlays for seasons and events. Here are some pictures from my trips to Tokyo:
In 2006 many (maybe all I cannot remember) of the Walt Disney World Monorails received a partial wrap for the Year of a Million Dreams.
Disneyland joined the act in the summer of 2007 to celebrate the opening of the Finding Nemo Submarines.
Come fall the Nemo wrap was retired and the monorail re-skinned for the year of a Million Dreams. Monorail Red was in use with the partial Year of a Million Dreams wrap.
No major wraps/ads for the next several years then at Walt Disney World in 2010 the Tron-O-Rail debuted on the EPCOT line for the upcoming TRON Legacy release.
