Is there a tram to EPCOT?

The trams returned to Disney's Animal Kingdom in May 2022, but remained paused at EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. With this update, it will be the first time since 2020 that tram service has be offered at all four Disney World theme parks.



Yes, there are two different types of "trams" that serve EPCOT at Walt Disney World. First, there are the Parking Lot Trams, which transport guests from the massive outer parking sections to the main entrance (front gate). These returned to full operation in late 2023 after a long hiatus. Second, and more famously, there is the Disney Monorail, which functions as a high-speed aerial tram. To get to EPCOT via monorail, you must take the "EPCOT Line" from the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). This route is iconic because it travels inside the park, circling Future World and giving guests a bird's-eye view of Spaceship Earth before docking at the station. Additionally, while not a "tram" in the traditional sense, EPCOT is also served by the Disney Skyliner (an aerial gondola system) which docks at the International Gateway entrance at the back of the park, and the FriendShip boats which connect EPCOT to the Hollywood Studios and the Crescent Lake resorts.
