What hotels does the monorail go through?

The Resort Monorail makes the following stops:
  • Magic Kingdom park.
  • Disney's Contemporary Resort.
  • Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
  • Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.
  • Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC)




The Walt Disney World Monorail system physically "goes through" one specific hotel and makes stops at two others on the "Resort Loop." The Disney's Contemporary Resort is the iconic A-frame building where the monorail actually travels through the center of the Grand Canyon Concourse, allowing guests in the lobby to see the trains passing overhead. The monorail also stops at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, though the track runs along the exterior of these buildings rather than through them. These three "Deluxe" resorts are situated around the Seven Seas Lagoon and offer the most direct, "door-to-door" access to the Magic Kingdom. While the monorail also connects to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) for transfers to the EPCOT line, the Contemporary remains the only hotel in the world designed with a functional train station located directly inside the main guest building.

Monorails lack flexibility and are not really suitable for anything beyond short loop routes. Plus, you're married to the technology of whoever builds the system. Not everyone can build a monorail, yet many manufacturers can make equipment that runs on two rails.

Monorails can't compete with buses and light rail systems used in large cities today. Monorails are expensive not only to build but to run and repair.
