Can you take the monorail from Epcot to Magic Kingdom?

The EPCOT Monorail and the Express Monorail originate at the TTC and offer express round-trip service to EPCOT and Magic Kingdom park. The Resort Monorail and Express Monorail begin operating 30 minutes prior to when Magic Kingdom park opens and stop one hour after Magic Kingdom park closes.



Yes, you can travel from EPCOT to Magic Kingdom via monorail, but it is not a direct flight; you must make one transfer. The Walt Disney World Monorail System consists of three separate lines. To make this trip, you first board the EPCOT Monorail at the station located at the front of EPCOT. This line travels through the park and then north to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). Once you arrive at the TTC, you must disembark and walk across the platform to board either the Express Monorail (which goes directly to Magic Kingdom) or the Resort Monorail (which stops at the Polynesian and Grand Floridian resorts before reaching Magic Kingdom). The entire journey, including the transfer and waiting time, typically takes between 25 and 40 minutes. It is a scenic way to travel, offering great views of the parks and the Seven Seas Lagoon, and it is free for all guests. Note that the monorails usually run from 30 minutes before park opening until one to two hours after park closing, providing a reliable and "iconic" link between Disney's two most popular parks.
