How's the monorail been lately?

Just depends on what day the ADR is. Usually the resort line comes up at or just before 7am. Park usually opening at 8 or 9. Epcot Monorial usually comes up at 7:30am. However Disney has been doing modified opening timesaver on some days. I'll post a link below to an already active thread where we've been discussing those modified times.

To get to the MK from the Poly hop on the resort monorail at the Grand Cerimonial House, the MK is the 2nd stop. To get from the Poly to Epcot I'd recommend walking from the Poly to the TTC and boarding the Epcot monorail there or you can take the resort rail around to the 4th stop(TTC) and get the Epcot rail.

We were there 3 weeks ago...monorail was down often. Express monorail to EPCOT was closed more than a day. Buses were provided. We never rode it our whole week trip. My son got stuck on it one evening returning from MK took him over an 1 1/2 to get back to POLY. It is getting old and seems to be broken quite a bit.

I'm curious of how long he was stuck. I hope that he wasn't actually stuck for the 1 1/2 hours. This makes me really nervous. We will be staying at the CR in October, and I'm thinking of just avoiding the monorail altogether.

We have PPO breakfast one at MK and one at EPCOT. Coming from POLY. Last trip the monorail would have worked for such. How about now?

I got stuck in the same lime green monorail at the contemporary stop for a half hour on May 18, and again for 15 minutes on May 28 (Two separate trips! I think it had it out for me)

Sending you pixie dust and hoping monorail's running smoothly for your trip If the monorail is down, they'll have bus service available to both parks.

If you were at the contemporary then you weren't stuck you could have left the train at any time.

I wish! Didn't specify the details, my bad. The first time the monorail was unable to fully pull out of the station. Would move 10 feet, make a super scary noise and bump harshly, then stop. Then start. Then stop. Monorail was restarted twice, doors were never opened. That was killer, because the monorail lost AC when it was powered on and off and it was packed in there.

Second time they couldn't get the doors open, I suppose? We were hoping to exit to get to Chef Mickeys. Thankfully that only took one hard reset to fix. The second time I mainly laughed for 15 minutes cause "oh come on, this is the same exact monorail!"

Don't let that deter you, OP. Wishing you smooth cruising for your trip
