Where can you go on the monorail from Magic Kingdom?

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)




From the Magic Kingdom monorail station, you have three primary destination paths depending on which line you board. The Resort Monorail makes a continuous loop, stopping at Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, as well as the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). The Express Monorail runs directly between Magic Kingdom and the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), bypassing the hotels for faster transit to the main parking lot. Once you arrive at the TTC, you can transfer to the EPCOT Monorail line, which takes you on a scenic journey directly to the entrance of EPCOT, including a famous "fly-through" of the Future World area. In 2026, the monorail remains a beloved and efficient "highway in the sky," providing not just transportation but also iconic views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and the Cinderella Castle. It is important to remember that the monorail typically begins operation 30 minutes before park opening and continues until one hour after the park closes.
