Disney hotels connected by monorail or boat

[Mr Mannn]

I'm working on a dining plan where I can avoid the buses if at all possible.
Does Dis Boards have a master list of these hotels? (I'm not finding it.)

Oh and how early are the boats and trains running? Can I get a TS breakfast and still be at the rope drop?

Thanks!

The monorail resorts are the Contemporary Resort, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian. The boat resorts will depend on where you're staying. Where are you staying?

We had breakfast at Ohana and still made rope drop at the MK.

As stated in a previous post the monorail resorts are Contemporary, Polynesian and Grand Floridian.

Polynesian and Grand Floridian are connected to each other and the Magic Kingdom by motor launch (aka boat).

Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness and the Contemporary are connected by motor launch also.

Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness and the Magic Kingdom are connected by "watercraft."

Hollywood Studios, Swan & Dolphin, Beach Club & Yacht Club, Boardwalk Resort and Epcot (not sure about the order) are connected by water taxi.

Port Orleans Riverside, Port Orleans French Quarter and Downtown Disney are connected by "water craft."

I THINK that's it

Thank you, thank you! That is what I wanted.

Just be ware that from Jan - March 2014 the monorail will be out of service during the day time hours.


Starting January 21, 2014, service on the Magic Kingdom Resort and Express monorails will be unavailable on weekdays between 11:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. to allow for planned maintenance. This schedule will run through the end of March 2014. During this time, watercraft and additional buses will be available. The Epcot monorail beam will operate normally

There is a boat that runs from the MK to the GF to the Polynesian and back to the MK.

There is a boat that runs between the MK, WL, and FtW. Also a smaller boat services the CR, WL and FtW.

You can take a boat from Epcot to BW, then to YC/BC, S/D and then to DHS. You can also easily walk to and from any of the Epcot resorts.

Here is the biggest issue with early morning ADRs and making it to rope drop.....yes, the buses start running to the parks early, by 6:30am. But...they run less frequently than the regular buses. If you just miss one, you may be waiting as long as 30 mins for the next one. If you're eating at YC/BC, for breakfast, you will want to be done eating by 8:15 in order to get to MK for 9:00 rope drop.

I don't believe there is such a list. Just wanted to point out that if you want to avoid the busses you'll need to cross of anything at DAK, All the Value and Moderate Resorts and AKL.
