Monorail Co-pilots

I had read in a book that my mom gave me that you could ask to ride up front with the driver on the monorail, so when we were leaving Epcot, we asked. He said he is allowed to have four passengers up front, so Nicole, Natalie, Lauren, and I all rode with the driver. It was raining, but the view was still great! When we stoped, the driver gave us all a co-piolt's license.
