Which parks does the monorail go to?

The EPCOT Monorail and the Express Monorail originate at the TTC and offer express round-trip service to EPCOT and Magic Kingdom park. The Resort Monorail and Express Monorail begin operating 30 minutes prior to when Magic Kingdom park opens and stop one hour after Magic Kingdom park closes.



At Walt Disney World in Florida, the monorail provides direct transportation to two theme parks: Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. The system is divided into three separate loops. The "Resort Monorail" and "Express Monorail" both serve the Magic Kingdom area, with the resort line making additional stops at the Contemporary, Grand Floridian, and Polynesian Village resorts. The third line, the "EPCOT Monorail," travels between the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) and the entrance of EPCOT. It is important for 2026 visitors to note that the monorail does not go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios or Disney’s Animal Kingdom; for those parks, you must use Disney’s bus, boat, or Skyliner systems. In California, the Disneyland Monorail travels in a loop between the Downtown Disney District and Tomorrowland inside Disneyland Park, effectively acting as both a mode of transport and a classic attraction that provides a unique aerial view of the resort.
