Magic kingdom parking

[rstamm]

I haven’t driven to MK in over 10 years I don’t know what the procedure is now

It was you parked at the ticket transportation center and took the boat

Is it the same or a new way?

 

[FCDub]

The TTC is still the parking lot, yes!

I’m asking how do you get to MK from TTC
Is it only the boat or other ways?

boat or monorail are your choices unless you want to walk from poly to GF to gate which would be longer than waiting for boat

Thanks
I didn’t know if the monorail was running

EPCOT monorail is the one not running

Reports are that the bus from TTC to MK is often faster.

I thought a bus was only available between MK and TTC during extra crowded times . Normally the ferry boat and monorail is available between MK and TTC.
Best advice is to doublecheck because it seems castmembers are not always correct since procedure can change daily for them also...

I was at MK recently as Easter Sunday this year , arriving at TTC
parking lot , shuttle trams not available currently so probably a long walk from auto to TTC ferry and/or monorail to arrive at MK.
And a long walk to return back to car after your long day at the MK Via Ferry or monorail.

10 years since last visit, make certain you have scheduled a Park Pass for entrance per calendar on Disney website... When do you plan to visit?

10 years since I drove I usually stay at Bay Lake but moved here last week about 20 minutes away
so first time driving in 10 years

That sucks about the tram cars not running

It seems there may or may not be a bus running

I’ll have to figure it out when I get there

If the buses are running, they will be inside the TTC to the right of the monorails, and there will generally be cm's with signs advertising that they are running.

Molly at AllEars has ridden the bus on recent YouTube videos. By watching a few, you can see that it can be the fastest mode or a bust.

This would probably mean the monorail is down , otherwise they are not offering daily bus transport from TTC to MK... or construction traffic blocking roadway surrounding MK , accidents requiring detour on property... for a while there was a lot of construction near the Ferry Boat Landing as it pulls into the MK . Maybe the ferry boats were not running for a few days. And guests were sent to the bus at TTC to MK .
I am just advising to doublecheck your choices.

Maybe Molly at AllEars arrived at TTC and walked over to Poly to take their bus.

The information on AllEars.net has not been updated if you take the time to read. I also checked WDW Frequently Asked Questions on their Official Website and their printed info is also very confusing.

Good idea and good luck
Welcome to Florida
No matter how crazy it gets , the best decision I ever made was to move to Disney area 3 years ago.

More often, it's simply that there are more people expected than the monorails & ferries can handle.

 

[Ross Kratter]

Every time I have driven to MK within the past few months, they have been running buses in the morning.

 

[Sara W]

How early are they opening the parking gates at MK? Do they make people circle around like I heard at HS?

This usually happened after the fireworks when everybody was exiting.
Don’t forget if there is any type of issue on property Security will verify it is not a security threat and is safe to proceed all transportation.

Did you specifically pay attention to the front of the bus to see where the busses are going? Maybe they are cast members in training .
If the monorail is not running to Epcot , maybe they are picking up guests to take them to Epcot...
I know the road in front of the Contemporary is so narrow , it is doubtful WDW is picking up guests from TTC to create more traffic flow into the MK. The ferry boats (sometimes 3 ferry boats at same time if huge crowds ) and the monorail are provided. I am not saying this never happens, I just wouldn’t expect it on daily basis.

I have taken those buses on every occasion.
