Which Disney hotel has the monorail access?

And remember: If you're staying at Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa or Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, you can enjoy convenient access to all monorail lines, right from your Disney Resort hotel.



At Walt Disney World in Florida, three specific "Deluxe" resorts are located directly on the Resort Monorail loop: Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. These hotels offer the ultimate convenience, allowing guests to board a monorail just steps from their rooms for a direct ride to the Magic Kingdom. The Contemporary is particularly unique because the monorail actually travels through the center of the A-frame building. To reach EPCOT from these resorts, guests take the monorail to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) and transfer to the EPCOT line. In 2026, staying at a monorail resort remains one of the most prestigious and time-saving ways to experience Disney, though it comes with a premium price tag. For those on a tighter budget, it is a peer-to-peer "pro-tip" that you can still visit these hotels for dining and enjoy the monorail for free!
