Where does Disney monorail go?

The Resort Monorail runs a continuous loop from the Transportation and Ticket Center to the Polynesian resort, the Grand Floridian resort, the Magic Kingdom, and the Contemporary resort, in that order. The Epcot Monorail runs back and forth between the Transportation and Ticket Center and Epcot.



The Disney Monorail systems serve two different purposes in Florida and California. At Walt Disney World (Florida), the monorail consists of three separate lines. The Resort Line makes a loop between the Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. The Express Line runs round-trip between the TTC and Magic Kingdom, while the Epcot Line runs between the TTC and Epcot. In Disneyland (California), the monorail is a single-line "attraction-transport" hybrid that travels between the Tomorrowland station inside Disneyland Park and the Downtown Disney District station. In 2026, the monorail remains a free service at both resorts, functioning as both a vital transportation artery and a "highway in the sky" that provides unique aerial views of the theme parks and resort hotels.
