when staying at the campground what are the best ways to get into the seperate parks.

I have read only how to get to the MK.. from the marina.

But send me your tips to getting to the other areas of the park.

Personally I drive to all parks other than MK, unless I'm doing a MK/ Epcot day. Then I hit MK first then take the monorail over to Epcot.

To start out the morning at MGM, Epcot or AK I just drive over.

thanks Tim.. but since we have a Class C motorhome and will not have a car to drive, we need help with the Disney transportation system.


What is the monarail system set up for? tranportations to all parks or just between certain ones.

I know you can pick up buses at almost every corner.

there are direct buses to EPCOT and Animal Kingdom and MGM, take an internal bus (Purple, Yellow & Orange) to the settlement or the outpost bus stops depending on which park you want to go to. Check this Link (http://www.disneycampers.com/Fort_Wilderness/FW_Transportation.htm) for more information

As Disney Campers indicated, to use the bus system, just get on one of the FW internal busses going to the settlement or outpost. At those locations you can connect to busses everywhere else in the "World".

There are 2 monorail "loops":

The original monorail loop was built in 71 and serviced the Magic Kingdom and MK hotels. It has 2 tracks which have 2 different schedules. One track is an "express" which runs from the Ticket and Transportation Center (TTC) to the MK and back. The local track stops at the TTC, MK and all the MK hotels. These hotels include the Contemporary, Grand Floridian and the Polynesian.

The second loop travels on one track betweent the TTC and Epcot.

When you check in you will get a bus map and the CM will explain how the transportation system works.

Have fun!
