watercraft and monorails are always fastest based on the fact that they shuttle. As you can see from my signature, there are always 2 boats on every route and sometimes more. From WL, we run 1 cruiser(120 passenger) and 1 launch(39 passenger, but ppl are....large so really like 35)
The red route(WL to MK) starts running half an hour before park open.
There is a blue route that runs between WL, CR, and FW. That route opens at 6:45am everyday and shuts down at 11:30 sharp every night.
once you get to the Magic Kingdom, if you want to go to TTC, you can take the ferry or monorail. There are 3 ferries operating at opening, and 2 the rest of the day except the 1-4pm block or so. They usually go down to 1 during that time. As someone said, you could also take the blue route from WL to CR and then monorail to TTC.
From MK, if you want to go to the Grand or the Poly, take the gold route, which begins operation 1/2 hour before park opening. Prior to that, you have to take the resort monorail.
If you are at the Grand and want to get back to MK, take the monorail.
If you are at the Poly and want to get to MK, take the gold route boat.
Although our operation is pretty smooth, on a daily basis we encounter numerous challenges that can sometimes result in an unusal delay. it happens in rails, watercraft, and buses. I can not stress enough that you allow 1 hour for each form of Disney transportation you need to take to get to your destination. It might sound silly, but if we have to pull a cruiser to the gold route because rails go down and then put a smaller capacity, slower boat on the route we pulled from and there are 100+ people on the dock, it could take a while to get on a boat. Throw in a Ferry coming through the water bridge to further slow things down, and it can take time to move. It's not the norm, but it can happen.
