Do all monorails go to Magic Kingdom?

Ride High in the Sky Magic Kingdom park, EPCOT and select Disney Resort hotels are just minutes away by monorail. The Walt Disney World Monorail System has 3 separate lines that travel throughout Walt Disney World Resort. The Resort Monorail makes the following stops: Magic Kingdom park.



No, not all monorail lines at Walt Disney World go directly to the Magic Kingdom. The system consists of three distinct lines. The Express Monorail provides direct, round-trip service between the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) and the Magic Kingdom. The Resort Monorail also goes to the Magic Kingdom, but it makes additional stops at Disney's Contemporary, Polynesian Village, and Grand Floridian resorts, as well as the TTC. However, the EPCOT Monorail line does not go to the Magic Kingdom at all; it travels exclusively between the TTC and EPCOT. If you are at EPCOT and want to go to the Magic Kingdom, you must first take the EPCOT monorail to the TTC and then transfer to either the Express or Resort monorail. This hub-and-spoke system ensures that while the Magic Kingdom is the "centerpiece" of the monorail network, travelers must be careful to board the correct train to avoid ending up at a different park or a resort hotel by mistake.
