If I want to be at the MK for the rope drop, what time should I be at the ferry? Which is quicker, the monorail or the ferry? We'll be going to the MK at least 2 mornings, so maybe I'll do both.
If you were to take the Monorail to the Magic Kingdom and it were to stop on the tracks after leaving the Grand Floridian, it shouldn't be more then a 30 second wait for the Monorail ahead to leave the station at the Magic Kingdom.
That does sound like a good idea. However if the OP were going to the Magic Kingdom when they have AM EMH and wants to be there for the opening, on that specific day it's not a good idea to get the Monorail from the TTC since it would not be running during AM EMH. Of course if it's the standard 9:00 AM park opening for both onsite and offsite guests, then it's something which could be done.Depending which longhouse you are in at the Poly, it may be worth considering walking to the TTC and catching the direct monorail to MK.

My guess is they would be sent to the Resort Monorail. In the past when I have done AM EMH at the Magic Kingdom and took the Monorail from the Contemporary, when we would arrive at the TTC there was a line starting to form at the Express Monorail and it did not show up.Wouldn't the TTC monorail be running for EMH anyway, since some resort guests prefer to drive their cars?
