Find of the Day: Monorail Socks!

Hey there Disney Fans!

Today's Find of the Day is: Monorail Socks!

What it is: These are some awesome, adult-sized socks with MONORAILS on them!

Who it's for: Cool People. Really, if you don't like monorail socks, you can't really claim to be cool.

What it Costs: A pair of these will set you back $13.99 plus shipping and tax.

How to get it: These are available online here, but you can also pick them up at both Disneyland and Disney World.

Why it's a Find of the Day: There are few things more iconic to the Disney Parks than the monorails. From Walt Disney's vision of a future with clean, swift, public transportation to the excitement of riding one to your first park visit of vacation, nothing says "I'm at Disney" like the monorails.

In fact, if you're interested in some fun Disney Parks listening, WDW Radio did a "7 Wonders of Disney World" series a few years back on the podcast and one of the Wonders episodes was dedicated to the monorail. If you're not into podcasts, the short version is: Monorails are awesome and the ones at Disney are a lot of the reason we love the Disney Parks so much.

Also, the fact that these are decorative socks makes them interesting and unique. Disney has always put out patterned socks for kids, but they haven't always put out a lot for adults. They do occasionally put out some adult socks with an icon or a logo or as an accompaniment to specific merchandise release but, this type of full-coverage, patterned, adult sock without any other tie-ins is kind of new for Disney. (Note: if you're interested in these kinds of socks, I noticed that a few other styles were also released with the most recent update of new merchandise online. Maybe Disney is working on moving into this area?

That's it for today's Find of the Day! What do you think? Do you love monorails? Do you love socks? Let me know in the comments!
