THREE Days 😬 out...a few questions on monorail and EEMH

We (DW, DD4 and DD1) are three days :grimacing: from leaving and had a few quick questions…
We are staying at the BLT and planning to use the monorail several days. As I recall it is often out of service. Is there any way to find out the status prior to walking to the monorail stop?

Also, is rider swap available for use during EEMH? Mostly hoping to use it at TSL and MFSR but may use it at MK also…

Thanks again for any advice! Looking forward to sharing our upcoming experiences.
