Clarification on new security at Magic Kingdom

[gobosox00]

Can you take the monorail from Magic Kingdom to Epcot without going through security again? Or do they recheck you at the TTC?

You go through security again at Epcot -- same old spot.

Oh thanks, I thought I had heard they moved the epcot ones forward

All I can speak to personally is Aug 7-17, where Epcot security was uncharged from last year. We had gone through security at the Contemporary and still had to go through Epcot security.

You will go through security before getting on the monorail (at TTC or a monorail resort) as the TTC and MK monorail entrances are in the security bubble.

And you go through security after disembarking the Epcot Monorail.

It would be great if they made a ramp so you could exit the monorail into the secure area of Epcot, and avoid being checked twice.

It's a shame that they can't route crowds at Epcot such that you don't have to go through security twice -- seems a waste of time. I will say that at the times we traveled/hopped security at the monorail resorts was pretty quick.

What is the system for going from Epcot to MK by monorail? Last trip we used the express bus, so didn't go that way.

I am staying at bay lake, so if we got directly on the monorail at the contemporary, we will go through security there and at Epcot?

To jo-jo, you would board the monorail after you exit MK then transfer at the TTC to an EPCOT monorail.

Walk out Epcot turnstile, up monorail ramp, and ride to TTC, change to Express, go to MK. You do not have to leave the secure zone leave so no additional screening.

We are staying at BCV next trip. We can go through security at international gateway, go through epcot and not have to go through again for MK??

Yes, I know if I it would be easier to just catch the bus to MK, but just saying for hopping purpose.

Yes, the Epcot monorail entrance is in the secure zone, as is the TTC monorail entrances, so only 1 screening to get to MK.
(Unfortunately it's not that way going to Epcot)

Yep, you'll save one going to MK but get hit twice coming back
